Vscode-icons: Webpack Icon for webpack.config.babel.js

[chadly]

I see that webpack support was just added in regard to #305, #310. However, it appears it is only adding the webpack icon for webpack.config.js explicitly. It would be nice if it would also add it for anything that begins with webpack.config.*.js.

For me, I use webpack.config.babel.js which tells webpack to load the config file with the babel-loader. It would be nice to get the webpack icon for that file, too.

Hi @chadly, this can't be done with the official API at the moment but you can use our custom icon association functionality in order to make it work. Take a look here. It works with regular expressions so it should cover any scenario you may have. :grinning:

Thanks @robertohuertasm. I didn't realize this extension was that extensible! I'll try that.

Maybe since, using the babel loader is probably most common, it would make sense to also include the webpack icon for both webpack.config.js & webpack.config.babel.js only?

@aeschli, is there any way in the new API to support this kind of scenario? Should we add a new language (webpack) in order for the users to associate these files with this language? What would be the way to go in order to cover this in an official way?

@chadly I'm thinking of supporting a few common webpack filenames for the moment, until we have a proper official way to cover the scenario. I will accept your suggestion of supporting webpack.config.babel.js and I will add to it webpack.config.dev.js, webpack.config.staging.js and webpack.config.production.js
