webpack node api don't run the same as command line webpack

[lv2lrn4lf]

Simple, the nodejs webpack api doesn't run the same way as the webpack command line.

I'm trying to write custom loaders and plugins, I'm stuck at the loaders and after banging my head, i see that it doesn't even work the same way as the command line one does. Why is this? How can i make the webpack node API behavior is the same way as the webpack command line?

I want to get the file content from the loader and it doesn't pass that when call via node API, it pass a object

{resouce:'/path/to/file.js',...//other stuff}

instead of a file i get the above. How do i get the file while running webpack with the nodejs API?
