Module parse error with pdf

[phil-kt]

I'm trying to add a pdf to my app, and I'm getting a Module parse failed error. The pdf is in the src folder, shouldn't file-loader handle the pdf extention or am I misunderstanding it?

import pdf as './files/blah.pdf'

<a href={pdf}>link</a>

Since we maintain a whitelist, we'd have to add it there. I think pdf is a bit of an exotic use case so I would recommend using public folder for it instead.

This would get solved with #667 in the future but for now public folder is a fine workaround. Use process.env.PUBLIC_URL + '/blah.pdf' in the code, assuming you put it into public/blah.pdf.

Okay thanks!
