static-loader

SixClaw

A static loader for Webpack.

This is mostly useful for loading files into your production build dist folder. Examples include:

• robots.txt
• .htaccess
• sitemap.xml
• background images
• favicon.ico

This static loader is more relevant versus file-loader or url-loader in cases where you just need a static file, and you don't want it to be bundled because it's unlikely to change often and so the user's browser cache should have it stored instead of needing a fresh copy after every deployment.

How-to:

require("static?!path/realFilename.ext?output=path/newFilename.ext");
// example
require("static?!./favicon.ico?output=favicon.ico");

You need to add output as your resource query name, the value for output is what webpack will copy to production

// sample webpack.production.config.js file snippit,
{
    test: /\.(ico)$/,
    loader: "static-loader"
}
