Extract text plugin specify input folder webpack

config.module.rules.push({
test: /\.css$/,
include: [
path.resolve(__dirname, 'static/styles/vendor'),
],
use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
loader: 'css-loader',
}),
});
config.plugins.push(new ExtractTextPlugin('/static/styles/vendor/foundation.css'));
unable to get the exact folder to loop over , if I exclude the include option it creates an output file with all css of the app
Directory structure

ExtractTextPlugin works only for files imported in your javascript. Are you sure your static content is imported in any of your js file?

CSS images not copied to output folder in Webpack

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.

How to include all CSS files in node_modules to be built by css-loader?

I am trying to extract all the CSS files found in the node_modules directory into a single file. My Webpack config is as follows:
{ // node_modules css in /node_modules/**/*.css
test: /\.css$/,
include: /node_modules/,
// extract to the node modules css file
use: ExtractTextPluginNodeMods.extract({
fallback: 'style-loader',
use: [
{
loader: 'css-loader',
options: {
modules: false,
},
},
],
}),
}
Unfortunately, none of the CSS files in the node_modules directory are being bundled into the file specified with ExtractTextPluginNodeMods. I have another ExtractTextPlugin instance that is successfully extracting CSS from my src directory. Any idea why I cannot get extraction of CSS from node_modules?
For reference, my other ExtractTextPlugin/Webpack config (which is bundling all of my CSS is here:
{
// OUR css in /src/
// the css output from sass loader will be caught here
// fonts are imported by css loader
// after transpiling of sass -> css, css-loader in webpack should take care of this
// https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader
test: /\.css$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
// extract to our css file
use: ExtractTextPluginSrc.extract({
fallback: 'style-loader',
use: [
{
loader: 'css-loader',
// create modular css with the '[name]__[local]___[hash:base64:5]'
options: {
modules: true,
localIdentName: '[name]__[local]___[hash:base64:5]',
},
},
'postcss-loader',
],
}),
}

Webpack won't include the CSS files unless you explicitly import them from your javascript code. So you'll need:
import 'some_package/css/component.css';
in the part of your app that uses the CSS.
Alternatively you could use something like glob-loader to do
import 'glob-loader?node_modules_pattern_file';
and then have your "node_modules_pattern_file" include a glob like
../node_modules/**/*.css
...but I don't recommend this approach because you'll end up pulling in loads of files you don't need and it will be hard to maintain.

Webpack 3.5.5 error loading CSS and SASS

I am currently updating my nodejs packages and updated webpack to 3.5.5 and the build is now failing on trying to load css and sass. This is how my loaders look.
loaders: [
{test: /\.jsx?$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loaders: ['babel-loader']},
{test: /\.(eot|woff|woff2|svg|ttf)([\?]?.*)$/, loader: "file-loader" },
{test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$/i, loader: 'file?name=[name].[ext]-loader'},
{test: /\.ico$/, loader: 'file?name=[name].[ext]-loader'},
{test: /(\.css|\.scss)$/, loaders: ['style-loader', 'css?sourceMap-loader', 'postcss-loader', 'sass?sourceMap-loader']},
]
I am wondering if I need to change anything so that these loaders will work?
The error I am getting is
BREAKING CHANGE: It's no longer allowed to omit the '-loader' suffix when using loaders. You need to specify 'css-loader' instead of 'css', see webpack.js.org/guides/migrating/… `

Now that webpack loaders must include the -loader prefix, the correct modification from css?sourceMap is not to css?sourceMap-loader but instead to css-loader?sourceMap.
Similarly, sass?sourceMap must become sass-loader?sourceMap.
In both cases, sourceMap acts in a similar way to a query string parameter in a URL, and the adjustment from css to css-loader is akin to a resource moving from example.com/css to example.com/css-loader.

Multiple package.jsons with ES6 Babel

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.
