file-loader

The file-loader resolves import/require() on a file into a url and emits the file into the output directory.

Getting Started

To begin, you'll need to install file-loader:

console
$ npm install file-loader --save-dev

Import (or require) the target file(s) in one of the bundle's files:

file.js

js
import img from './file.png';

Then add the loader to your webpack config. For example:

webpack.config.js

js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif)$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'file-loader',
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

And run webpack via your preferred method. This will emit file.png as a file in the output directory (with the specified naming convention, if options are specified to do so) and returns the public URI of the file.

ℹ️ By default the filename of the resulting file is the hash of the file's contents with the original extension of the required resource.

Options

name

Type: String|Function Default: '[contenthash].[ext]'

Specifies a custom filename template for the target file(s) using the query parameter name. For example, to emit a file from your context directory into the output directory retaining the full directory structure, you might use:

String

webpack.config.js

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

webpack.config.js

js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif)$/i,
        loader: 'file-loader',
        options: {
          name(resourcePath, resourceQuery) {
            // `resourcePath` - `/absolute/path/to/file.js`
            // `resourceQuery` - `?foo=bar`

            if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
              return '[path][name].[ext]';
            }

            return '[contenthash].[ext]';
          },
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

ℹ️ By default the path and name you specify will output the file in that same directory, and will also use the same URI path to access the file.

outputPath

Type: String|Function Default: undefined

Specify a filesystem path where the target file(s) will be placed.

String

webpack.config.js

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

webpack.config.js

js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif)$/i,
        loader: 'file-loader',
        options: {
          outputPath: (url, resourcePath, context) => {
            // `resourcePath` is original absolute path to asset
            // `context` is directory where stored asset (`rootContext`) or `context` option

            // To get relative path you can use
            // const relativePath = path.relative(context, resourcePath);

            if (/my-custom-image\.png/.test(resourcePath)) {
              return `other_output_path/${url}`;
            }

            if (/images/.test(context)) {
              return `image_output_path/${url}`;
            }

            return `output_path/${url}`;
          },
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

publicPath

Type: String|Function Default: [__webpack_public_path__](https://webpack.js.org/api/module-variables/#__webpack_public_path__-webpack-specific-)+outputPath

Specifies a custom public path for the target file(s).

String

webpack.config.js

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

webpack.config.js

js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif)$/i,
        loader: 'file-loader',
        options: {
          publicPath: (url, resourcePath, context) => {
            // `resourcePath` is original absolute path to asset
            // `context` is directory where stored asset (`rootContext`) or `context` option

            // To get relative path you can use
            // const relativePath = path.relative(context, resourcePath);

            if (/my-custom-image\.png/.test(resourcePath)) {
              return `other_public_path/${url}`;
            }

            if (/images/.test(context)) {
              return `image_output_path/${url}`;
            }

            return `public_path/${url}`;
          },
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

postTransformPublicPath

Type: Function Default: undefined

Specifies a custom function to post-process the generated public path. This can be used to prepend or append dynamic global variables that are only available at runtime, like __webpack_public_path__. This would not be possible with just publicPath, since it stringifies the values.

webpack.config.js

js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpg|gif)$/i,
        loader: 'file-loader',
        options: {
          publicPath: '/some/path/',
          postTransformPublicPath: (p) => `__webpack_public_path__ + ${p}`,
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

context

Type: String Default: [context](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/entry-context/#context)

Specifies a custom file context.

js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif)$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'file-loader',
            options: {
              context: 'project',
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

emitFile

Type: Boolean Default: true

If true, emits a file (writes a file to the filesystem). If false, the loader will return a public URI but will not emit the file. It is often useful to disable this option for server-side packages.

file.js

js
// bundle file
import img from './file.png';

webpack.config.js

js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'file-loader',
            options: {
              emitFile: false,
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

regExp

Type: RegExp Default: undefined

Specifies a Regular Expression to one or many parts of the target file path. The capture groups can be reused in the name property using [N] placeholder.

file.js

js
import img from './customer01/file.png';

webpack.config.js

js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif)$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'file-loader',
            options: {
              regExp: /\/([a-z0-9]+)\/[a-z0-9]+\.png$/i,
              name: '[1]-[name].[ext]',
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

ℹ️ If [0] is used, it will be replaced by the entire tested string, whereas [1] will contain the first capturing parenthesis of your regex and so on...

esModule

Type: Boolean Default: true

By default, file-loader generates JS modules that use the ES modules syntax. There are some cases in which using ES modules is beneficial, like in the case of module concatenation and tree shaking.

You can enable a CommonJS module syntax using:

webpack.config.js

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

Placeholders

Full information about placeholders you can find here.

[ext]

Type: String Default: file.extname

The file extension of the target file/resource.

[name]

Type: String Default: file.basename

The basename of the file/resource.

[path]

Type: String Default: file.directory

The path of the resource relative to the webpack/config context.

The following examples show how to use file-loader for CDN uses query params.

file.js

js
import png from './directory/image.png?width=300&height=300';

webpack.config.js

js
module.exports = {
  output: {
    publicPath: 'https://cdn.example.com/',
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif)$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'file-loader',
            options: {
              name: '[path][name].[ext][query]',
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Result:

bash
# result
https://cdn.example.com/directory/image.png?width=300&height=300

Dynamic public path depending on environment variable at run time

An application might want to configure different CDN hosts depending on an environment variable that is only available when running the application. This can be an advantage, as only one build of the application is necessary, which behaves differently depending on environment variables of the deployment environment. Since file-loader is applied when compiling the application, and not when running it, the environment variable cannot be used in the file-loader configuration. A way around this is setting the __webpack_public_path__ to the desired CDN host depending on the environment variable at the entrypoint of the application. The option postTransformPublicPath can be used to configure a custom path depending on a variable like __webpack_public_path__.

main.js

js
const assetPrefixForNamespace = (namespace) => {
  switch (namespace) {
    case 'prod':
      return 'https://cache.myserver.net/web';
    case 'uat':
      return 'https://cache-uat.myserver.net/web';
    case 'st':
      return 'https://cache-st.myserver.net/web';
    case 'dev':
      return 'https://cache-dev.myserver.net/web';
    default:
      return '';
  }
};
const namespace = process.env.NAMESPACE;

__webpack_public_path__ = `${assetPrefixForNamespace(namespace)}/`;

file.js

js
import png from './image.png';

webpack.config.js

js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpg|gif)$/i,
        loader: 'file-loader',
        options: {
          name: '[name].[contenthash].[ext]',
          outputPath: 'static/assets/',
          publicPath: 'static/assets/',
          postTransformPublicPath: (p) => `__webpack_public_path__ + ${p}`,
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

Result when run with NAMESPACE=prod env variable:

bash
# result
https://cache.myserver.net/web/static/assets/image.somehash.png

Result when run with NAMESPACE=dev env variable:

bash
# result
https://cache-dev.myserver.net/web/static/assets/image.somehash.png
