Missing webpack context rules for requiring lazy messages file

Nuxt-i18n configuration

i18n: {
locales: [{ code: "fr", file: "fr.js" }],
langDir: "lang/lazyDir",
defaultLocale: "fr",
lazy: true
}

Reproduction Link

https://codesandbox.io/s/romantic-hamilton-o1ijf?file=/lang/README.md

Steps to reproduce

Insert a .md file inside the folder where lazy files are loaded (aka langDir property)

What is Expected?

No webpack warnings for unhandled files.

What is actually happening?

Webpack wants me to handle the md files. It throws this warning

./lang/lazyDir/README.md 1:5
Module parse failed: Unexpected token (1:5)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders

Thoughts

Maybe it's because of require context who parse too much file extensions.
A quick fix is to keep the langDir as light as possible without md files, and require messages from another folder.

I'll only try to load files with js, ts, and json extensions. Let me know if you can think of any other that should be included.

I think this is fine. Well done for reactivity 👏

Released the fix in https://github.com/nuxt-community/i18n-module/releases/tag/v6.20.2

Would appreciate adding YAML files to the list (yml, yaml).

Up until now, the module was able to handle any file, that webpack would recognize. So changing this behavior is really a breaking change, not just a fix - for example breaking my application as soon as I bumped the library.

Also, it maybe would be nice to add the possibility to define custom file types in the config.

Sorry about that. Addressed with 01f92ae and released in https://github.com/nuxt-community/i18n-module/releases/tag/v6.20.3

Also, it maybe would be nice to add the possibility to define custom file types in the config.

I will consider that if there is really a need for it (that is if someone complains again).
