ViewsLoad fonts with Webpack and font-face
I'm trying to load a font in my CSS file using @font-face but the font never loads. This is my directory structure.
Then in webpack.config.js I have the loader to get fonts.
var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
devtool: 'eval',
entry: [
"./index.js"
],
output: {
path: __dirname+"/build",
filename: "main.js"
},
plugins: [
new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin(),
new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin()
],
resolve: {
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx']
},
module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.js$/, loaders: ['react-hot', 'babel-loader'], exclude: /node_modules/ },
{ test: /\.jsx?$/, loaders: ['react-hot', 'babel-loader'], exclude: /node_modules/ },
{ test: /\.svg$/, loader: "raw" },
{ test: /\.css$/, loader: "style-loader!css-loader" },
{ test: /\.(eot|svg|ttf|woff|woff2)$/, loader: 'file?name=src/css/[name].[ext]'}
]
}
};
Inside my CSS file I have this:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Darkenstone';
src: url('./Darkenstone.woff') format('woff');
}
body {
background-color: green;
font-size: 24px;
font-family: 'Darkenstone';
}
Finally, I'm calling my CSS file in my index.js with:
import './src/css/master.css';
Everything works but de font never loads.

After trying a lot of stuff the next loader made the work. Instead of file-loader, I used url-loader . You need url-loader installed.
{ test: /\.(png|woff|woff2|eot|ttf|svg)$/, loader: 'url-loader?limit=100000' }

With webpack 4 this is what solved the issue for me (diff):
{
test: /\.svg$/,
use: ['svg-loader']
},
{
test: /\.(eot|woff|woff2|svg|ttf)([\?]?.*)$/,
use: ['file-loader']
}
{ test: /\.(png|woff|woff2|eot|ttf|svg)$/, use: ['url-loader?limit=100000'] }
I had to remove svg-loader and file-loader in favor of url-loader
My app.scss file looks like this:
$fa-font-path: '~font-awesome/fonts';
@import '~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome';
$icon-font-path: "~bootstrap-sass/assets/fonts/bootstrap/";
@import '~bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap';
And in my app.js I import the app.scss:
import './app.scss';
So, after the changes, my webpack config looks like this:
const path = require('path');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const webpackConfig = require('./webpack.config');
module.exports = {
entry: {
app: './client/app/app.js'
},
devtool: 'source-map',
mode: 'development',
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
title: 'Development',
template: 'client/index.html'
})
],
output: {
filename: '[name].bundle.js',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist')
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.(sa|sc|c)ss$/,
use: [
'style-loader',
'css-loader',
'sass-loader',
],
},
{ test: /\.(png|woff|woff2|eot|ttf|svg)$/, use: ['url-loader?limit=100000'] }
]
}
};

According to Webpack's Documentation, you need to update your webpack.config.js to handle font files. See the last loader i.e.
{
test: /\.(woff|woff2|eot|ttf|otf)$/i,
type: 'asset/resource',
}
We will include all kinds of file format for webpack. The final webpack.config.js file will look something like this.
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
entry: './src/index.js',
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader'],
},
{
test: /\.(png|svg|jpg|jpeg|gif)$/i,
type: 'asset/resource',
},
{
test: /\.(woff|woff2|eot|ttf|otf)$/i,
type: 'asset/resource',
},
],
},
};
Then, you will have to import the fonts to your entry file. In this case ./src/index.js. With the loader configured and fonts in place, you can incorporate them via an @font-face declaration. The local url(...) directive will be picked up by webpack just as it was with the image.
