I am using webpack with HtmlWebpackPlugin, html-loader and file-loader. I have a simple project structure in which I use no frameworks, but only typescript. Thus, I write my HTML code directly to index.html. I also use this HTML file as my template in HtmlWebpackPlugin.
As all websites do I need to put an image which refers to a PNG in my assets folder. file-loader should load the file correctly put the new filename inside the src tag but that is not what is happening. Instead, as the value of src tag, I have [object Module]. I assume the file-loader emits some object and it is represented like this when its .toString() method is run. However, I can see that file-loader has processed the file successfully and emitted with new name to the output path. I get no errors. Here is my webpack configuration and index.html.
const projectRoot = path.resolve(__dirname, '..');
{
entry: path.resolve(projectRoot, 'src', 'app.ts'),
mode: 'production',
output: {
path: path.resolve(projectRoot, 'dist'),
filename: 'app.bundle.js'
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['.ts', '.js']
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /.html$/i,
use: 'html-loader'
},
{
test: /.(eot|ttf|woff|woff2|svg|png)$/i,
use: 'file-loader'
},
{
test: /.scss$/i,
use: [
{
loader: MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
options: {
hmr: false
}
},
{
loader: 'css-loader',
options: {
sourceMap: false
}
},
{
loader: 'sass-loader',
options: {
sourceMap: false
}
}
]
},
{
exclude: /node_modules/,
test: /.ts$/,
use: 'ts-loader'
}
]
},
plugins: [
new CleanWebpackPlugin(),
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: path.resolve(projectRoot, 'src', 'index.html')
}),
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
filename: '[name].[hash].css',
chunkFilename: '[id].[hash].css',
ignoreOrder: false
})
]
};
index.html:
