javascript - Webpack outputs wrong path for images

Question

I'm building a site with react and webpack. When I build the app with webpack and try to include images, the images are written to the build folder along with the other assets, but the link to the image that webpack outputs is incorrect. I can go in the build folder and view the image, so it is being copied correctly it is the link that is wrong.

my react component looks like this:

'use strict';

var React = require('react');
var newsFeedIcon = require('../../img/news-feed-icon.png');

//create story component
module.exports = React.createClass({
  render: function () {
    return (
        <div className="col_12 footer-right mobile-foot">
        <img src={newsFeedIcon} />
        <p><a href="/about">About Us</a> | <a href="/contact">Contact Us</a> | <a href="/faq">FAQ</a> | <a href="/media">Media</a> | <a href="#">Privacy Statement</a> | <a href="#">Terms of Service</a></p>
      </div>
      );
  }
})

Answer 1

You could try setting the name option for file-loader, as well as output.publicPath.

 output: {
     path: 'build/',
     file: 'bundle.js',
     publicPath: '/assets'
}

...

{ 
     test: /.(png|jpg)$/, 
     loader: 'file-loader?name=/img/[name].[ext]' 
}

Then the resolved url in your require will be:

/assets/img/news-feed-icon.png
