Feature Request: Support for Import Assertions with Syntax{ type: ... }

[nczsl]

I would like to propose that Parcel adds support for ECMAScript import assertions using the syntax. This feature would allow developers to import static assets (such as , , and other text-based files) directly as strings without relying on additional plugins or workarounds.with { type: 'text' }.txt.wgsl

For example, in Bun, we can import a file's content as text simply by using:

js
复制
编辑
import shaderSource from 'xxx/base.wgsl' with { type: 'text' };
This is a very useful feature that aligns with modern ES module capabilities and improves the developer experience by streamlining asset imports.

Benefits:

Standards Alignment: Supports the evolving ECMAScript import assertions proposal.

Improved Developer Experience: Simplifies the workflow by removing the need for custom plugins or query parameters.

Consistency Across Bundlers: Ensures a similar import experience when switching between bundlers like Bun and Parcel.

Enhanced Flexibility: Makes it easier to manage static assets like shaders, text files, or configuration files in a straightforward manner.

I believe this addition would benefit a large number of developers and further strengthen Parcel as a modern bundler.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your feedback!
