Add Favicon with React and Webpack
Here is all you need:
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({ favicon: "./src/favicon.gif"})That is definitely after adding "favicon.gif" to the folder "src".
This will transfer the icon to your build folder and include it in your tag like this <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.gif">. This is safer than just importing with copyWebpackPLugin
For future googlers:You can also use copy-webpack-plugin and add this to webpack's production config:
plugins: [ new CopyWebpackPlugin({ patterns: [ // relative path is from src { from: './static/favicon.ico' }, // <- your path to favicon ] })]
Adding your favicon simply into to the public folder should do. Make sure the favicon is named as favicon.ico.
