Currently, I am working on developing a map application using webpack and leaflet. While I can successfully require leaflet.js from my map.js file, I encounter an error when trying to call leaflet.css.
The configuration in my webpack.config.js is as follows:
'use strict'
var webpack = require('webpack'),
path = require('path'),
HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin'),
srcPath = path.join(__dirname, 'src');
module.exports = {
target: "web",
cache: true,
entry: {
app: path.join(srcPath, "index.js")
},
resolve: {
alais: {
leaflet_css: __dirname + "/node_modules/leaflet/dist/leaflet.css"
}
},
module: {
loaders: [
{test: /\.js?$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: "babel-loader"},
{test: /\.scss?$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: "style!css!sass!"},
{test: /\.css?$/, loader: "style!css!"}
]
},
plugins: [
new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin("common", "common.js"),
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
inject: true,
template: "src/index.html"
}),
new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin()
],
output: {
path: path.join(__dirname, "dist"),
publicPath: "/dist/",
filename: "[name].js",
pathInfo: true
}
}
My main.js file code snippet is shown below:
var $ = require('jquery'),
leaflet = require('leaflet');
require("./sass/main.scss");
require("leaflet_css");
var map = L.map('map').setView([51.505, -0.09], 13);
L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
attribution: '© <a href="http://osm.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
}).addTo(map);
L.marker([51.5, -0.09]).addTo(map)
.bindPopup('A pretty CSS3 popup.<br> Easily customizable.')
.openPopup();
console.log('I got called');
I would like some guidance on the correct approach for bundling css files from third-party suppliers via webpack.
In a particular project (found at this link), where leaflet is stored in the libs directory – what could be the reason for this unconventional practice instead of installing it directly into the node_modules directory through npm?
This exercise serves as a great learning opportunity, so any advice or suggestions are welcome!
