import‑loader is a small Webpack loader that lets developers import multiple files in a single statement using glob patterns (e.g., `import models from 'import?glob=models/*.js'`). It builds an object mapping each matched file to a `require` call, with options to control the key names (`basename` or `path`) and to import all files from a directory by extension, making bulk imports easier for front‑end projects that use Webpack.
