Json loader failed to import aws-amplify json files

[putstrln]

I'm submitting a bug report

• Library Version:
  0.33.1

Please tell us about your environment:

• Operating System:
  Ubuntu 16.04

• Node Version:
  8.10.0

• NPM Version:
  3.10.4

• Browser:
  all

• Language:
  TypeScript 2.7.2

• Loader/bundler:
  Webpack

Current behavior:
You can create a new cli project and choose typescript and webpack defaults.

Install aws-amplify, yarn add aws-amplify

In main.ts, import Amplify from 'aws-amplify'.

And call Amplify.configure({...}).

Running au run fails with json errors,

ERROR in ./node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/region_config_data.json
Module parse failed: Unexpected token m in JSON at position 0
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.
SyntaxError: Unexpected token m in JSON at position 0
    at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
    at JsonParser.parse (node_modules/webpack/lib/JsonParser.js:15:21)

• What is the expected behavior?
  Following the above steps should compile the app correctly.

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
  aws-amplify should work with aurelia cli.

So I removed the json loader line from webpack.config.js, the app compiled and I could use the amplify library. Webpack docs also say that json-loader isn't required for webpack 2 and above. If this is the correct fix, I can send a PR. Otherwise, pls suggest what I might be missing. Thanks.

Would you like to provide a pull request for it @lovetostrike to remove json loader from generated webpack.config files for cli?
I can point you in right direction if you need.
