Usage
By default the filename of the resulting file is the MD5 hash of the file's contents with the original extension of the required resource.
import img from './file.png'
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.(png|jpg|gif)$/,
use: [
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {}
}
]
}
]
}
}
Emits file.png
as file in the output directory and returns the public URL
"/public/path/0dcbbaa7013869e351f.png"
Options
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
name |
{String|Function} |
[hash].[ext] |
Configure a custom filename template for your file |
regExp |
{RegExp} |
'undefined' |
Let you extract some parts of the file path to reuse them in the name property |
context |
{String} |
this.options.context |
Configure a custom file context, defaults to webpack.config.js context |
publicPath |
{String|Function} |
__webpack_public_path__ |
Configure a custom public path for your file |
outputPath |
{String|Function} |
'undefined' |
Configure a custom output path for your file |
useRelativePath |
{Boolean} |
false |
Should be true if you wish to generate a context relative URL for each file |
emitFile |
{Boolean} |
true |
By default a file is emitted, however this can be disabled if required (e.g. for server side packages) |
name
You can configure a custom filename template for your file using the query parameter name
. For instance, to copy a file from your context
directory into the output directory retaining the full directory structure, you might use
{String}
webpack.config.js
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: '[path][name].[ext]'
}
}
{Function}
webpack.config.js
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name (file) {
if (env === 'development') {
return '[path][name].[ext]'
}
return '[hash].[ext]'
}
}
}
regExp
Defines a regExp
to match some parts of the file path. These capture groups can be reused in the name
property using [N]
placeholder. Note that [0]
will be replaced by the entire tested string, whereas [1]
will contain the first capturing parenthesis of your regex and so on...
import img from './customer01/file.png'
webpack.config.js
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
regExp: /\/([a-z0-9]+)\/[a-z0-9]+\.png$/,
name: '[1]-[name].[ext]'
}
}
customer01-file.png
placeholders
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
[ext] |
{String} |
file.extname |
The extension of the resource |
[name] |
{String} |
file.basename |
The basename of the resource |
[path] |
{String} |
file.dirname |
The path of the resource relative to the context |
[hash] |
{String} |
md5 |
The hash of the content, hashes below for more info |
[N] |
{String} |
`` | The n-th match obtained from matching the current file name against the regExp |
hashes
[<hashType>:hash:<digestType>:<length>]
optionally you can configure
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
hashType |
{String} |
md5 |
sha1 , md5 , sha256 , sha512 |
digestType |
{String} |
hex |
hex , base26 , base32 , base36 , base49 , base52 , base58 , base62 , base64 |
length |
{Number} |
9999 |
The length in chars |
By default, the path and name you specify will output the file in that same directory and will also use that same URL path to access the file.
context
webpack.config.js
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: '[path][name].[ext]',
context: ''
}
}
You can specify custom output
and public
paths by using outputPath
, publicPath
and useRelativePath
publicPath
webpack.config.js
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: '[path][name].[ext]',
publicPath: 'assets/'
}
}
outputPath
webpack.config.js
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: '[path][name].[ext]',
outputPath: 'images/'
}
}
useRelativePath
useRelativePath
should be true
if you wish to generate a relative URL to the for each file context.
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
useRelativePath: process.env.NODE_ENV === "production"
}
}
emitFile
By default a file is emitted, however this can be disabled if required (e.g. for server side packages).
import img from './file.png'
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
emitFile: false
}
}
⚠️ Returns the public URL but does not emit a file
`${publicPath}/0dcbbaa701328e351f.png`
Examples
import png from 'image.png'
webpack.config.js
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: 'dirname/[hash].[ext]'
}
}
dirname/0dcbbaa701328ae351f.png
webpack.config.js
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: '[sha512:hash:base64:7].[ext]'
}
}
gdyb21L.png
import png from 'path/to/file.png'
webpack.config.js
{
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: '[path][name].[ext]?[hash]'
}
}
path/to/file.png?e43b20c069c4a01867c31e98cbce33c9
