url-loader

url-loader

Loads files as base64 encoded URL

Install

npm install --save-dev url-loader

Usage

The url-loader works like the file-loader, but can return a DataURL if the file is smaller than a byte limit-

import img from './image.png'

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpg|gif)$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'url-loader',
            options: {
              limit: 8192
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Options

limit

If the file is greater than the limit (in bytes) the file-loader is used and all query parameters are passed to it-

The limit can be specified via loader options and defaults to no limit-

webpack-config-js

{
  loader: 'url-loader',
  options: {
    limit: 8192
  }
}

mimetype

Set the MIME type for the file. If unspecified the file extensions will be used to lookup the MIME type.

webpack.config.js

{
  loader: 'url-loader',
  options: {
    mimetype: 'image/png'
  }
}

prefix

{
  loader: 'url-loader',
  options: {
    prefix: 'img'
  }
}
