I'm starting with webpack, but I'm really new on this and I'm stuck right now.
My project copies my fonts correctly but not images. Now the only way I am able to make it work is by copying my images manually to the dist/img
folder.
This is my config:
var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
var ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin");
var webpack = require('webpack');
var path = require("path");
module.exports = {
entry: './src/app.js',
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname + '/dist'),
filename: 'app.bundle.js'
// publicPath: '/dist',
},
module: {
rules:[
{
test:/\.scss$/,
use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
fallback: "style-loader",
use: ["css-loader?sourceMap","resolve-url-loader","sass-loader?sourceMap"],
// publicPath: '/dist'
})
},
{
test: /\.(woff2?|ttf|otf|eot|svg)$/,
use: [{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: '[name].[ext]',
outputPath: 'fonts/'
}
}]
// loader: 'file-loader?name=/fonts/[name].[ext]'
},
{
test: /\.(jpg|png|gif)$/,
use: [{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: '[name].[ext]',
outputPath: 'img/',
publicPath:'img/'
}
}]
}
]
},
devServer: {
contentBase: path.join(__dirname, "/dist"),
compress: true,
port: 8000,
stats: "errors-only",
open: true
},
plugins: [
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
$: 'jquery',
jQuery: 'jquery'
}),
new ExtractTextPlugin("styles.css"),
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
title: 'Project',
hash:true,
template: './src/index.html'
})
]
}
I've tried several configurations but no solution. I also searched here for any solution but without success.
If your images are only referenced in HTML files as <img>
tags, webpack by default won't pick them up because it doesn't parse HTML. You have at least 2 choices:
Use CopyWebpackPlugin to copy the files to wherever you want, this at least removes the "manual" part you mention
Move your images references to styles, where webpack can pick them up via the scss loader you are using. For example
background-image: url("img/foo.png");
