FAQ

Referencing Public Files after Changing base

Unlike Vite, Webpack won't handle base for public files automatically. So if you change the base of your site, you'd better to use Base Helper when referencing an public image file.

Using with Default Theme

Default theme is using SASS as CSS pre-processor, so you might need to install sass-loader as a peer dependency to make it work with Webpack, especially when you are using pnpm.
