I'm using react boilerplate and when I run the build script "npm run build" npm executes the following command
webpack --config internals/webpack/webpack.prod.babel.js --color -p --progress --hide-modules --display-optimization-bailout
This builds the application and emits all the files to the build folder.
I have an .htaccess file in my source now when the the app is build somewhere in the build process the .htaccess file gets a .bin extension and it is emitted as .htaccess.bin
how can I prevent the build process adding the .bin extension to the .htaccess file?
This answer was provided in github issue of react boilerplate. This issue has been fixed in the latest build of react-boilerplate.
Anyways, if you want to fix the issue, change the import of .htaccess in app.js to as follows
import 'file-loader?name=.htaccess!./.htaccess';
See the fixed app.js file in github repo of react boilerplate
