css-file-loader v1.4.3

Installation

  npm i --save-dev css-file-loader

How it works

This loader clones files (images, fonts ...) which referenced from css file like url (./image.png).

.selector {
    background: url(./img.png) no-repeat -122px -293px;
    width: 16px;
}

it will be replaced by

.selector {
    background: url([options.publicPath]/[file hash].png) no-repeat -122px -293px; 
    /*For example url(http://localhost/ad31..2a.png)  */
    width: 16px;
}

and [file hash].png will copy to output.path folder and filename replaced by file hash [file hash].png

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: [ 'css-loader', 'css-file-loader' ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Combine with other loaders like sass

Important: css-file-loader must be before sass-loader

...
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        use: [ 'css-loader', 'css-file-loader', 'sass-loader' ]
      }
    ]
...
