I have a large project that I would like to divide up into multiple package.json's so that the dependencies for each part can be clearly stated and so those packages can be exported as individual parts.
However, I want my app to include each of these packages and compile them using webpack and babel. There are shared dependencies for the packages, so I don't want to just output each one to a /dist folder.
My ideal directory structure looks like this:
\main
\app
\node_modules
package.json
\package1
package.json
node_modules
index.js
\package2
package.json
node_modules
index.js
I tried multiple approaches:
Using webpack's resolve modules with something like path.resolve('app'). This just doesn't work, even though it should in theory.
Using main's package.json to reference others using "package1" : "file:../package1". This doesn't treat package1 as es6 javascript and throws errors. Using resolveLoaders in the webpack configuration does not help.
The webpack config I have is as follows.
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.js?/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
include: [
path.resolve('app'),
path.resolve('../prose'),
],
query: {
plugins: [
['react-transform', {
transforms: [{
transform: 'react-transform-hmr',
// If you use React Native, pass 'react-native' instead:
imports: ['react'],
// This is important for Webpack HMR:
locals: ['module']
}]
}],
['transform-object-assign']
]
}
},
{ test: /\.css$/, loader: 'style-loader!css-loader!sass-loader' },
{ test: /\.svg$/, loader: 'file-loader' },
{ test: /\.png$/, loader: 'file-loader' },
{ test: /\.jpg$/, loader: 'file-loader' },
{ test: /\.json$/, loader: 'json-loader' }
]
},
resolve: {
modules: [
path.resolve('app'),
'node_modules',
],
extensions: ['.json', '.js', '.jsx'],
}
Any thoughts or examples of other projects that do this would be appreciated!
You should check out lerna. It enables you to use multiple package.jsons and even packages in one repo. It might help you with you requirements.

We started sharing a number of React components in our SPA as Bit.dev components and ran into an issue: can't use our components on Bit's dashboard due to CSS-modules as Bit's build process does not create them. We use Bit 0.0.687. Use "bit start" to launch Bit dashboard or "bit export" to publish the components to a remote scope, then open a remote dashboard. Our components which use: import style from './style.css' and relay on a CSS module get undefined "style" under Bit. May someone tell, please, if there is a way to alter Bit's build process to generate CSS modules? In our Application's Webpack build we use:
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
include: /src/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
use: [
{
loader: require.resolve('style-loader', {
paths: [require.resolve('webpack-config-single-spa')],
}),
},
{
loader: require.resolve('css-loader', {
paths: [require.resolve('webpack-config-single-spa')],
}),
options: {
importLoaders: 1,
sourceMap: true,
modules: {
localIdentName: '[name]__[local]___[hash:base64:5]',
},
},
},
{
loader: 'postcss-loader',
options: {
sourceMap: true,
},
},
],
}
]}
and Webpack 5.x.
As Bit uses CRA under the hood, renaming CSS files to style.module.css helps. CRA recognizes "module" suffix and compiles these CSS as modules.
I am developing a webapp with NodeJS and webpack. It uses also ReactJS as a dependency. So let's call it simple ui webapp.
In my package.json I reference a package as a dependency which I want to use in the app. This package is not from npm, but it is developed by myself and resides on the same filesystem, local, which totally works fine. I am developing this package, lets call it ui-elements and the webapp in parallel, because I know I have to use the ui-elements in 10 about following webapp-style projects.
Back to the problem: The package gets imported when I npm install, so I have my local package inside the node_modules dir. Good.
This ui-elements-package is also bundled with webpack and contains some React components that use images as background images. Now, when I run ./node_modules/.bin/webpack inside the package folder (while developing the ui-elements package) the file-loader emits the resources into the res/ folder, like I want it to be in the webpack.config.js from the ui-elements package.
But since I want to use the ui-elements package inside my webapp, the resources reside deep inside the node_modules/ dir (node_modules/ui-elements/res).
My question:
How should my webpack.config.js in the webapp project be altered, to get the image resolving by the browser working?
And, am I thinking too complicated? I just want to build and use a package (containing some ui elements with background images), that i can reuse in React webapps. Is there a better approach?
I will paste the extracts of the webpack configs of both projects:
ui-elements
webpack.config.js
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
entry: './src/index.js',

I am using Webpack to bundle a number of js/css files in a site. I am bundling bootstrap.css and chosen.css as part of my bundles. In order to create the bundles, I have a main.js that I am using as an entry point to import all the other files that I will need. I am using file-loader to process font and image files and move them to the appropriate directories. I am using the ExtractTextPlugin with the css-loader and resolve-url-loader to create a separate css bundle from my js bundle.
My main.js is:
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';
import 'chosen-js/chosen.css';
import './datetimehelper.js';
import './deletelink.js';
import './dropdown.js';
My webpack.config.js is:
var ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
entry: './src/js/main.js',
output: {
filename: 'wwwroot/js/bundle.js'
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
use: {
loader: 'babel-loader',
options: {
presets: ['#babel/preset-env']
}
}
},
{
test: /\.(png|jpg|gif)$/,
use: [
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: 'images/[name].[ext]',
outputPath: 'wwwroot/'
}
}
]
},
{
test: /\.(eot|svg|ttf|woff|woff2)$/,
use: [
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: 'fonts/[name].[ext]',
outputPath: 'wwwroot/'
}
}
]
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
use: ['css-loader?url=false', 'resolve-url-loader'],
publicPath: '../'
})
}
]
},
plugins: [
new ExtractTextPlugin({
filename: 'wwwroot/css/bundle.css'
})
]
};
With the above configuration, the font references in bootstrap.css are picked up, moved to the appropriate directory and the urls are fixed in the css bundle that is emitted. However, the images that are referenced in chosen.css are not being picked up. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to make the images work correctly? I've tried replacing file-loader with url-loader and no change. I've also tried importing the images in my main.js and they were moved, but the urls in the css bundle were not rewritten correctly.
Having path configured in output makes life a lot easier. That would serve as the base output folder and all other loaders/plugins can work relative to that. May be the files were copied but not to your intended directory. Please do take a look at WebpackBootstrap repo. The config copies as well as converts image paths properly.
I finally figured it out. In the rules, I had:
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract('css-loader', 'resolve-url-loader')
}
Instead, it should be:
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: ExtratTextPlugin.extract('css-loader', 'resolve-url-loader')
}
Not sure what the difference is between use and loader because I'm fairly new to Webpack, but in this case it makes all the difference.
I'm using Webpack, and when I run a production build ie.
webpack -p
The build never completes.
A quick search says to disable the sourcemap for uglifyjs... but I cannot find a decent explanation on how to do this.
Ideally I would be able to disable the sourceMap from from the configuration.
Finally, this brings up another question which is... shouldn't I want a source map when I create a production build? Disabling the feature seems like a poor workaround.
module.exports = {
entry: ["./utils", "./app.js" ],
output: { filename: "bundle.js" },
module:{
preLoaders:[
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: 'jshint-loader'
}
],
loaders: [
{
test:/\.es6$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: "babel",
query: {
presets: ['es2015']
}
}
]
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['', '.js', '.es6']
},
watch: true
}
UPDATE: Ok... it looks as if the watch: true portion of my config was the culprit... but still, it would be good to know how to disable sourceMaps.
This is from #user104317 above, in the comments section.
"Watch" tells webpack to keep running and automatically build your files as they change. The build finished. The command will keep running till killed.
I just installed font-awesome-webpack. I import it using: require("font-awesome-webpack");
My webpack config includes the following in my module loaders array:
{ test: /\.woff(2)?(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/, loader: "url-loader?limit=10000&minetype=application/font-woff" },
{ test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg)(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/, loader: "file-loader" }
Problem is I am getting this error in developer console:
localhost/:1 GET http://localhost/mysite/app/db812d8a70a4e88e888744c1c9a27e89.woff2
localhost/:1 GET http://localhost/mysite/app/a35720c2fed2c7f043bc7e4ffb45e073.woff
localhost/:1 GET http://localhost/mysite/app/a3de2170e4e9df77161ea5d3f31b2668.ttf 404 (Not Found)
The problem is, those files are created at the root (within the mysite directory). How do I configure such that those woffs and ttf are output within the mysite/app directory?
I've recently wanted to use font awesome with webpack v1, I've installed the npm module font-awesome not font-awesome-webpack
You must install few loaders before :
npm i css-loader file-loader style-loader url-loader
and add use them in your webpack.config.js :
module: {
loaders: [{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: 'style!css?sourceMap'
}, {
test: /\.woff(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff"
}, {
test: /\.woff2(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff"
}, {
test: /\.ttf(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=application/octet-stream"
}, {
test: /\.eot(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "file"
}, {
test: /\.svg(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=image/svg+xml"
}]
}
Now if you include in your entry.js :
require('font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css');
You normally be able to use font-awesome in your template :
<i class="fa fa-times"></i>

As of Feb. 2016 this seems to be a common question with webpack, so I hope this provides some help. If you add this to the loader: '&name=./path/[hash].[ext]', that specifies where to look for those files. For example:
{
test: /\.woff(2)?(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
loader: 'url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff&name=./[hash].[ext]'
}
This places the correct URL to the fonts within the generated CSS file.
I recommend this method when dealing with anything other than css/scss. Hope this helps.
In addition to the above answers, I
I had to specify a path in output to get it working like so to specify the hosted location and not write the assets to the root path:
output: {
filename: "./bundle.js",
path: “./client”
},
module: {
loaders[
{
test: /\.woff(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff&name=./webpack-assets/[name]/[hash].[ext]"
}, {
test: /\.woff2(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff&name=./webpack-assets/[name]/[hash].[ext]"
}, {
test: /\.ttf(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=application/octet-stream&name=./webpack-assets/[name]/[hash].[ext]"
}, {
test: /\.eot(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "file?&name=./webpack-assets/[name]/[hash].[ext]"
}, {
test: /\.svg(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=image/svg+xml&name=./webpack-assets/[name]/[hash].[ext]"
}
] // loaders
} // module
{
test: /\.(png|woff|woff2|eot|ttf|svg)(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: 'url-loader?limit=100000'
}
This schema helped me
This is my case, because of my script path is like below:
script(src='/javascripts/app.js')
So, I have to add '&name./javascripts/[hash].[ext]' to all font files like:
{
test: /\.woff(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff&name=./javascripts/[hash].[ext]"
}, {
test: /\.woff2(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff&name=./javascripts/[hash].[ext]"
}, {
test: /\.ttf(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=application/octet-stream&name=./javascripts/[hash].[ext]"
}, {
test: /\.eot(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "file?name=./javascripts/[hash].[ext]"
}, {
test: /\.svg(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
loader: "url?limit=10000&mimetype=image/svg+xml&name=./javascripts/[hash].[ext]"
}
Just as a note, I came across a similar fault using the font-awesome-loader.
Where the directory would not be set correct, regardless of any of the changes above.
To correct this, the option publicPath can be added to output:
output: { path: config.outputPath, filename: '[name].js', publicPath: '/assets/' },
The folder /assets/ will be changed to wherever you actually store your fonts.
Hopefully this helps.
I had font-awesome-webpack working on my PC, but it wouldn't work on my Mac. I think my PC was still throwing the 404s for the .woff2, .woff, and .tiff, but the icons displayed properly, so I ignored the problem.
My Mac, however, would not display the icons. While reading this Q&A, I tried a bunch of things. Here's what lead to my solution:
On my http://localhost:8080/View/ page, I was getting 404s that looked like the link below:
I entered http://localhost:8080/View/e6cf7c6ec7c2d6f670ae9d762604cb0b.woff2 into the browser, and confirmed the 404.
I tried going to http://localhost:8080/e6cf7c6ec7c2d6f670ae9d762604cb0b.woff2 (removing the extra path before the font file), and was able to access the file.
I modified Paul's answer to remove the . that made the file request relative.
For example, Paul suggested:
{
test: /\.woff(2)?(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
loader: 'url-loader?limit=10000&minetype=application/font-woff&name=./[hash].[ext]'
}
Take note of the &name parameter, that uses ./[hash].[ext]. I dropped the leading . and now there are no 404s (the browser correctly requests the files from the root of the site):
{
test: /\.woff(2)?(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
loader: 'url-loader?limit=10000&minetype=application/font-woff&name=/[hash].[ext]'
}
Conclusion: If your entry point is NOT at your web root, and you're able to access the font files at the web root, you probably just need to use this name configuration to fix the path.
Same issue faced.
Fixed it using the below syntax,
loader: "file?name=./fonts/[hash].[ext]"
fonts is the directory name, replace it with your own directory name.
Example:
{
test: /\.woff(2)?(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
loader: "url?name=/build/[hash].[ext]&limit=8192&mimetype=application/font-woff"
}
