font-config-webpack-plugin

Creating a webpack loader configurations can be quite time consuming.
The font-config-webpack-plugin is part of the common-config-webpack-plugin suite which tries to provide best practices for the most common loader requirements.

If no mode is explicitly set for the plugin the configuration will adjust depending on your webpack mode setting.

Installation

npm i --save-dev font-config-webpack-plugin

Webpack Config

In most projects you will need to set up project specific options but you can still use all or some common-config-webpack-plugin parts.

const FontConfigWebpackPlugin = require('font-config-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
  plugins: [new FontConfigWebpackPlugin()],
};

Changing the fonts file name

By default the font-config-webpack-plugin adds a md5 hash of the font files content to the file name to allow long-term-caching.

For example: static/media/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.c8ffdeb3.woff

To change the file name path an option called name can be passed to the font-config-webpack-plugin.
The name option supports different placeholders.

const FontConfigWebpackPlugin = require('font-config-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new FontConfigWebpackPlugin({
      name: 'fonts/[name].[ext]',
    }),
  ],
};
