Use the following webpack config (put it in webpack.config.js):
var ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin')
module.exports = {
entry: './index.js',
output: {
path: 'assets',
filename: 'bundle.js',
},
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
loader: 'babel'
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract('style-loader', 'css-loader')
},
{
test: /\.woff(2)?(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
loader: 'url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff'
},
{
test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg)(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
loader: 'file-loader'
}
]
},
plugins: [
new ExtractTextPlugin('bundle.css')
]
}which compile everything (js, stylesheets and icon fonts) into assets/
directory so you would need this basic HTML file to start your app:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/bundle.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="main"></div>
<script src="assets/bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>Note: If you run into issues with loading the FontAwesome font when not using ExtractTextPlugin, this might be fixed by making your publicPath absolute. See this StackOverflow question for details.
