I have font-awesome in my node_modules folder so I try to import it in my main .scss file like so:
@import "../../node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss";
But Webpack bundling compilation fails, telling me
Error: Cannot resolve 'file' or 'directory' ../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot
because the font-awesome.scss file refers to a relative path, '../fonts/'.
How can I tell scss \ webpack to @import another file, and use that file's folder as the home folder so that its relative paths work as it expects?
Use
$fa-font-path: "~font-awesome/fonts";
@import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome";
where the $fa-font-path
variable is seen in font-awesome/scss/_variables.scss
$fa-font-path: "../fonts" !default;
As is described overhere:
http://fontawesome.io/get-started/
There doesn't appear to be any way to @import files that have their own relative paths in SCSS \ SASS.
So instead I managed to get this to work:
Import the scss \ css font-awesome file in my .js or .jsx files, not my stylesheet files:
import 'font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss';
Add this to my webpack.config file:
module:
{
loaders:
[
{test: /\.js?$/, loader: 'babel-loader?cacheDirectory', exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/ },
{test: /\.jsx?$/, loader: 'babel-loader?cacheDirectory', exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/ },
{test: /\.scss?$/, loaders: ['style', 'css', 'sass']},
{test: /\.svg(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/, loader: 'file-loader?mimetype=image/svg+xml'},
{test: /\.woff(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/, loader: "file-loader?mimetype=application/font-woff"},
{test: /\.woff2(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/, loader: "file-loader?mimetype=application/font-woff"},
{test: /\.ttf(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/, loader: "file-loader?mimetype=application/octet-stream"},
{test: /\.eot(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/, loader: "file-loader"},
]
}
Following worked for me:
$fa-font-path: "~font-awesome/fonts";
@import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome";
This is to import the font-awesome
& required fonts in the project.
Other change is in webpack
configurations, to load required fonts using file-loader
.
{
test: /\.scss$/,
loaders: ['style', 'css?sourceMap', 'sass'
],
}, {
test: /\.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif|svg|woff|woff2|ttf|eot)(\?.*$|$)/,
loader: 'file'
}
Resolved by changing my app.scss
:
@import '~font-awesome/scss/_variables.scss';
$fa-font-path: "~font-awesome/fonts";
@import '~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss';
This way is useful to keep external dependencies unchanged and unversioned.
I just set the path in my main scss file and it works :
$fa-font-path: "../node_modules/font-awesome/fonts";
@import '~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss';
What worked for me was to add resolve-url-loader
and enable sourceMaps
I already imported font-awesome in my root .scss
file:
@import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome";
...
This root file is imported in my main.js
file defined as Webpack's entrypoint:
import './scss/main.scss';
...
Then my final webpack module rules look like so:
...
{
test: /\.(sa|sc|c)ss$/,
use: [
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
'css-loader',
{ loader: 'postcss-loader', options: { sourceMap: true }, },
'resolve-url-loader',
{ loader: 'sass-loader', options: { sourceMap: true }, },
],
}, {
test: /\.(woff2?|eot|ttf|otf)(\?.*)?$/,
loader: 'url-loader',
options: { limit: 1000, name: 'fonts/[name].[ext]', },
}
...
Note:
I used mini-css-extract-plugin
, which can be registered like this:
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
filename: 'css/main.css',
chunkFilename: '[id].[hash]',
}),
url-loader
requires file-loader
to be installed, so if you get an error like: cannot find module file-loader
, then just install it:
npm i -D file-loader
