What is the appropriate way to load .otf font files when using webpack? I have made several attempts to include a rule in my webpack.config.js
, without any success, based on many examples I've seen along the lines of the following:
{ test: /\.(eot|svg|ttf|otf|woff)$/, use: 'file-loader' }
//or
{ test: /\.(eot|svg|ttf|otf|woff)$/, use: 'url-loader' }
//or
{ test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg|woff(2)?)(\?[a-z0-9=&.]+)?$/, use: 'file-loader' }
//...etc
I've set up in my webpack.config.js
the following for other file types, which are working successfully:
module.exports = {
//...
module: {
rules: [
{ test: /\.(js)$/, use: 'babel-loader' },
{ test: /\.css$/, use: [ 'style-loader', 'css-loader' ]},
{ test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg|xml)$/i, use: 'file-loader'}
]
},
//...
}
Despite my various attempts to add another rule/case for .otf files, I always get the following error:
Module parse failed: .../fonts/[name-of-my-font].otf Unexpected character ' ' (1:4) You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.
I've added the .otf file in a fonts
folder in my root directory, and in my index.css I have:
@font-face {
font-family: 'name-of-my-font';
src: url('fonts/name-of-my-font.otf'),
format('opentype');
}
Has anyone experienced a similar problem and found a solution for this?
Thanks, Austin
Per comment request for more of my webpack.config.js
file, here is my entire webpack.config.js
:
var path = require('path');
var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
entry: './app/index.js',
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
filename: 'index_bundle.js',
publicPath: '/'
},
module: {
rules: [
{ test: /\.(js)$/, use: 'babel-loader' },
{ test: /\.css$/, use: [ 'style-loader', 'css-loader' ]},
{ test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg|xml)$/i, use: 'file-loader' }
]
},
devServer: {
historyApiFallback: true,
},
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: 'app/index.html'
})
]
};
I added
{
test: /\.(woff|woff2|eot|ttf|otf)$/,
loader: "file-loader"
}
to my webpack.config.js. I think I needed to explicitly link the types to the file-loader. I was using the default VS2017 Angular project.
