I am trying to load a pdf file
import placeholder from "../assets/pdf/placeholder.pdf"
And every time the server reloads I get this error: * error - ./assets/pdf/placeholder.pdf Module parse failed: Unexpected token (1:0) You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders (Source code omitted for this binary file)*
If you are using Webpack4, it appears you want the raw-loader
https://v4.webpack.js.org/loaders/raw-loader/
{
test: /\.pdf$/i,
use: 'raw-loader',
}
If you are using Webpack5, the new Asset Modules are available:
https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/
(raw-loader replacement)
{
test: /\.pdf$/i
type: 'asset/source'
}
(file-loader replacement)
{
test: /\.pdf$/i
type: 'asset/resource',
generator: {
filename: `[name][ext]`
}
}
