Creating a webpack loader configurations can be quite time consuming.

Installation

npm i --save-dev font-config-webpack-plugin

Webpack Config

In most projects you will need to set up project specific options but you can still use all or some common-config-webpack-plugin parts.

const FontConfigWebpackPlugin = require('font-config-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
  plugins: [new FontConfigWebpackPlugin()],
};

Changing the fonts file name

By default the font-config-webpack-plugin adds a md5 hash of the font files content to the file name to allow long-term-caching.
For example: static/media/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.c8ffdeb3.woff
To change the file name path an option called name can be passed to the font-config-webpack-plugin.
The name option supports different placeholders.

const FontConfigWebpackPlugin = require('font-config-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new FontConfigWebpackPlugin({
      name: 'fonts/[name].[ext]',
    }),
  ],
};
