What is file-loader?

The file-loader npm package is used to process files such as images, fonts, and other binary assets within a webpack build process. It can copy files to the output directory and resolve import/require() on a file into a url.

What are file-loader's main functionalities?

Importing Images

Allows importing image files directly in JavaScript or TypeScript files. The file-loader processes the import and replaces it with the final path to the output file.

import img from './file.png';

Configuring Output Path and Filenames

Configures webpack to output files with a specific naming pattern and to a specific directory. It also allows setting a public path for the files when they are referenced in the browser.

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif)$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'file-loader',
            options: {
              name: '[path][name].[ext]',
              outputPath: 'images/',
              publicPath: 'assets/',
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Handling Fonts

Enables the inclusion and processing of font files in various formats. The file-loader will handle these assets and output them to a specified directory.

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(woff|woff2|eot|ttf|otf)$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'file-loader',
            options: {
              name: '[name].[ext]',
              outputPath: 'fonts/',
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};
