In order to use your images and SVG files with Webpacker 6, you need to put them in the correct place and import them into your context.
Install
We should be good here.
Usage
Add Assets
mkdir -p app/javascript/media/images
Require Context
// app/javascript/packs/application.js
+
+ function importAll(r) {
+ r.keys().forEach(r);
+ }
+ // Add relevant file extensions as needed below.
+ // I'm sure there is a better way :shrug:
+ importAll(require.context('../media/images/', true, /\.(svg|jpg)$/));
Verify
Note: Restart the dev server for good luck!
Add an SVG and PNG into app/javascript/media/images
In one of your views, add two image tags:
src="<%= asset_pack_path 'media/images/icon.svg' %>" />
src="<%= asset_pack_path 'media/images/surf.jpg' %>" />
Reload your browser and you should see your images.
Note that <%= asset_pack_path 'media/images/icon.svg' %> only returns a string, so if you would rather inline your SVG files you will need to refer to the Webpack Asset Modules documentation and merge your changes into your Webpack context, as explained in these Webpacker docs.
