Cannot make bootstrap work with Webpack

I am working with a webpack-dev-server and I am trying to include bootstrap.

I have this project structure:

── css
│   └── bootstrap.min.css
│── js
|   └── bootstrap.min.js
├── dist
├── index.html
├── package.json
├── server.js
├── src
│   ├── actions.js
│   ├── App.js
│   ├── components
│   ├── constants
│   ├── index.js
│   └── reducers.js
└── webpack.config.js

This is the index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id='root'></div>
    <script src="/static/bundle.js"></script>
  </body>    
</html>

Whenever I run the server, I get an error of the type:

Cannot GET /css/bootstrap.min.css

Here is the webpack.config.js:

var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');

module.exports = {
  devtool: 'eval',
  entry: [
    'webpack-dev-server/client?http://localhost:3000',
    'webpack/hot/only-dev-server',
    './src/index'
  ],
  output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: 'bundle.js',
    publicPath: '/static/'
  },
  plugins: [
    new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
    new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin()
  ],
  module: {
    loaders: [{
      test: /\.js$/,
      loaders: ['react-hot', 'babel'],
      include: path.join(__dirname, 'src')
    },
    {
      test: /\.css$/,
      loader: 'style!css'
    }]
  },
  resolve: {
    extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx', '.json']
  }
};

Everything else works fine, the problem is just bootstrap. I tried a lot of different variations on the configurations, but I can't get it to work.

I also tried requiring it directly from javascript on index.js:

import '../css/bootstrap.min.css';

And I get this error:

ERROR in ./~/css-loader!./css/bootstrap.min.css
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve 'file' or 'directory' ../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot in /home/lhahn/dev/javascript/sha/css
 @ ./~/css-loader!./css/bootstrap.min.css 6:3278-3330 6:3348-3400

Edit

From what I realised, webpack is trying to find a font file inside my project, when trying to import Bootstrap.min.css.

It seems that webpack cannot load font files.

  1. Add file-loader via npm to your project, and save it as devDependencies.

    npm install file-loader --save-dev
    
  2. And modify the module loaders configuration in your webpack.config.js

    {
      test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg|woff(2)?)(\?[a-z0-9]+)?$/,
      loader: 'file-loader',
    }
    

Try installing bootstrap through npm, remember also jquery, its dependency
