How to add assets?

[tommueller]

I am building an module which needs some graphics, but no matter where I put the image-files, I cannot get them to show either in the example page nor are they exported to the dist folder.

There isn't support for assets currently, again, pull requests are always welcomed.

In the meantime, you can update the webpack configuration to pullin files using the file-loader and url-loader. I believe this SurviveJS tutorial might help.

any plans to implement this at any points? Just tried to figure this out, but I am too far behind with all the webpack stuff ...

Hi,

I am also new to the webpack stuff, after some trying I think I get it to work for me. I use two webpack plugins:

npm i -D copy-webpack-plugin
npm i -D write-file-webpack-plugin

webpack.dev.js

const CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');
const WriteFilePlugin = require('write-file-webpack-plugin');

plugins: [
...
    new WriteFilePlugin(),
        new CopyWebpackPlugin([
            { context: './examples/assets', from: '**/*', to: 'examples/assets' },
            { context: './src/assets', from: '**/*', to: 'assets' }
        ])

build.js

const assetDir = path.resolve(rootDir, 'src/assets');
const copyAssetFiles = () =>
    copyGlobs(['**/*'], assetDir, distDir + '/assets');

return Promise.resolve()
...
    .then(runPromise('Copying asset files to `dist`', copyAssetFiles))

For the webpack dev server all files are copied from examples/assets to dist/examples/assets and fromsrc/assets to dist/assets. The build copies from src/assets to dist/assets.
