cross-loader

Load generated [webpack] modules from another build as if they were your own.

npm install cross-loader

You need consistent module ids between the client and server for this to do what it needs to. This means either using HashedModuleIdsPlugin or using NamedModulesPlugin both of which are consistent.

The client build has things which generate modules you would like to reference on the server – e.g. URLs to images.

var webpack = require('webpack');

module.exports = {
  modules: {
    loaders: [{
      test: /\.(jpg|png)$/,
      loader: 'file-loader',
    }]
  },
  plugins: [
    new webpack.HashedModuleIdsPlugin(),
    new StatsPlugin('stats.json')
  ]
}

On the server you can use cross-loader to automatically bring in those modules for you assuming your stats were generated with modules: true and source: true.

var path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  modules: {
    loaders: [{
      test: /\.(jpg|png)$/,
      loader: 'cross-loader',
      query: JSON.stringify({
        stats: path.join('./' 'dist', 'stats.json'),
      }),
    }]
  },
  plugins: [
    new webpack.HashedModuleIdsPlugin()
  ]
}
