Cannot use typeface in a webpack-with-sass-loader setup

[Abdull]

How can I use typeface-source-sans-pro in a webpack project that laverages sass-loader?

The current documentation is too sparse to make me understand what to do.

I did npm install --save typeface-source-sans-pro.

And then?

In my src/app.scss, I have added @import 'typeface-source-sans-pro';

But then the webpack build fails with Error: Can't resolve './files/source-sans-pro-300.woff2' in 'C:\Users\Abdull\git\webpack-demo\src'

I think I figured it out (also notice in my setup I use MiniCssExtractPlugin to separate CSS assets out of JS assets).

sass-loader has problems with url(), therefore resolve-url-loader and file-loader are required to be wired in.

npm install --save typeface-source-sans-pro
npm install resolve-url-loader file-loader --save-dev

webpack.config.js:

const path = require('path');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const { CleanWebpackPlugin } = require('clean-webpack-plugin');

// list of plugins active by default: https://webpack.js.org/configuration/mode/
module.exports = {
  mode: 'production',
  entry: './src/index.js',
  devtool: 'source-map',
  devServer: {
    contentBase: './dist',
  },
  output: {
    filename: 'app.js',
    library: 'app',
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
  },
  plugins: [
    new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
      filename: 'app.css',
    }),
    new CleanWebpackPlugin({ cleanStaleWebpackAssets: false }),
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
      title: 'Output Management',
    }),
  ],
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.s[ac]ss$/i,
        use: [
          MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
          // Translates CSS into CommonJS
          'css-loader',
          'resolve-url-loader',
          // Compiles Sass to CSS
          'sass-loader'
        ]
      },
      { 
        test: /\.(woff|woff2|eot|ttf|otf)$/,
        use: [ 'file-loader' ]
      },
      {
        test: /\.m?js$/,
        // exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
        use: {
          loader: 'babel-loader',
          options: {
            presets: ['@babel/preset-env']
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
};

app.scss:

@import 'normalize-scss/sass/normalize';
@include normalize();

@import 'typeface-source-sans-pro';

$body-color: red;
$gs_font_sans: "Source Sans Pro", Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;

body {
  color: $body-color;
  font-family: $gs_font_sans;
}

This solved my problem almost perfectly. I'd also been excluding the node_modules in my /\.s?[a|c]ss$/ tests in webpack, but allowing webpack to look in node_modules too was the final step in solving my issues.

Thanks for sharing your solution!
