I am trying to load a jpg file on the Homepage of my app:

import cad from './CAD/untitled.106.jpg'

but the following error kept popping up:

assets by status 2 MiB [cached] 1 asset
cached modules 2.41 MiB (javascript) 937 bytes (rjavascript modules 420 KiB
  ./src/components/HomePage.js 1.18 KiB [built]
  ./src/components/CAD/untitled.106.jpg 419 KiB [

(1:0)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders
(Source code omitted for this binary file)       
 @ ./src/components/HomePage.js 7:0-41
 @ ./src/components/App.js 3:0-34 12:90-98       
 @ ./src/index.js 1:0-35

webpack 5.70.0 compiled with 1 error in 84 ms 

I have tried modifying the webpack.config.js by adding a rule with 'file-loader'. However, the problem remained. Currently, I am using "webpack": "^5.70.0". Here is my webpack.config.js:

const path = require("path");
const webpack = require("webpack");

module.exports = {
  entry: "./src/index.js",
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, "./static/frontend"),
    filename: "[name].js",
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: {
          loader: "babel-loader",
        },
      },
      {
        test: /\.(jpeg|png|jpg|svg|gif)$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'file-loader',
            options: {
              name: '[name].[ext]',
            }
          }
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
  optimization: {
    minimize: true,
  },
  plugins: [
    new webpack.DefinePlugin({
      "process.env": {
        NODE_ENV: JSON.stringify("development"),
      },
    }),
  ],
};

I have tried many different approaches and solutions, and I have no idea why my webpack.config.js can not process a jpg file. Can someone tell me the root cause of this problem? Thank you very much.
