How do I load font-awesome using SCSS (SASS) in Webpack using relative paths?

Question

I have font-awesome in my node_modules folder so I try to import it in my main .scss file like so:

@import \"../../node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesom

What worked for me was to add resolve-url-loader and enable sourceMaps

I already imported font-awesome in my root .scss file:

@import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome";
...

This root file is imported in my main.js file defined as Webpack's entrypoint:

import './scss/main.scss';
...

Then my final webpack module rules look like so:

 ...
 {
    test: /\.(sa|sc|c)ss$/,
    use: [
      MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
      'css-loader',
      { loader: 'postcss-loader', options: { sourceMap: true }, },
      'resolve-url-loader',
      { loader: 'sass-loader', options: { sourceMap: true }, },
    ],
  }, {
    test: /\.(woff2?|eot|ttf|otf)(\?.*)?$/,
    loader: 'url-loader',
    options: { limit: 1000, name: 'fonts/[name].[ext]', },
  }
  ...

Note:

I used mini-css-extract-plugin, which can be registered like this:

new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
    filename: 'css/main.css',
    chunkFilename: '[id].[hash]',
}),

url-loader requires file-loader to be installed, so if you get an error like: cannot find module file-loader, then just install it:

npm i -D file-loader
