Image asset folders don't seem to be compiled

[zeetao]

I have javascript, css and font assets placed in app/javascript/packs and images in app/javascript/images, both in several nested folders.

The images do not seem to get compiled. I wonder if I am specifying the path wrong somewhere. Where do I instruct webpack to compile the image assets?

application.rb
Jets.application.configure do config.assets.folders = %w[public] # defaults to public config.assets.max_age = 3600 # when to expire assets end

Thinking you have to add import statements. This might help https://github.com/tongueroo/jets-example-crud-html/blob/master/app/javascript/packs/application.js

Hmm... am not sure what you mean. I tried adding more directories to the webpacker.yml file for it to compile but it didnt work.
The reference at http://rubyonjets.com/docs/assets-serving/ states that I should put images into the app/javascript/images folder, but this does not work.
If I put all images into app/javascript/packs, then it does get compiled, but then it converts all my images into .js extensions.....

These paths in webpacker.yml:
source_path: app/javascript
source_entry_path: packs
public_output_path: packs
cache_path: tmp/cache/webpacker

I tried the below and it still didn't work
source_entry_path: [packs, images]
source_entry_path: ['packs', 'images']
source_entry_path: %w[packs images]

I tried importing as you suggested but it looks odd and also didn't work.
import '../images/'

What am I doing wrong?

Made some webpacker fixes in the latest release, so first upgrade. Then to import images you actually have to import them explicitly. So this that code won't work 😞

import '../images/'

Something like this will work:

import '../images/path/to/full/image.png'

It’s not great to have to import a large number of image explicitly though. Googled around and it looks like what folks are doing with webpacker is using ERB to loop and import a bunch of files dynamically. Started taking a look at getting webpacker with ERB working but afraid don’t have the time right now. Would be awesome if someone takes a stab at this and would happily take this PR. IMHO, it’s a great way to learn if you want to have a stab at it also. No sweat either way though 👌

Closing this out.
