When building nearby.cafe, I had an issue where bootstrap was not finding the dependancy on jquery.

which looks like this

Module not found : error : Can't resolve 'jquery' in node_modules\bootstrap\dist\js'

The solution

npm install --save-dev resolve-url-loader 

npm i --save-dev  bootstrap-loader tether jquery

I had not don ethis in a while. Here it is recorded.

Assumes you have npm.

create direcctory (mkdir whatever)

cd whatever

npm init whatever

npm install --save-dev create-react-app

npx create-react-app whatever

cd whatever

npm start

---- it should run

start a new command window --- I use conemu

go to the directory you just created

if you have vscode installed type code .

thats code (dot)

update the code. refresh browser bingo...

The images are in a legacy system (asp.net aspx pages). Some are generated dynamicly by that system (bar codes). The new system, mobile freindly, angualar, asp,net mvc requires to print docuements with these images in. So I get the content for the documents to be printed, and find it has img tags in it and these point to the relative path in the aspx application. 

I extract the relative path from the image tags, nice regex here. 

string imgTagSelectionPattern = @"<img.*?src=""(?<url>.*?)"".*?>";

Get the image and convert it to a base64encoded string

private string GetImageContentAsBase64EncodedString(Uri url)
{
    var content = string.Empty;
    try
    {
        var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        using (var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
        {
            if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
            {
                var receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream();
                if (receiveStream != null)
                {
                   byte[] outData;
                   var tempMemStream = new MemoryStream();
                   receiveStream.CopyTo(tempMemStream);
                   outData = tempMemStream.ToArray();
                   content = Convert.ToBase64String(outData);
                 }
                 content = Convert.ToBase64String(outData);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    catch
    {
        //this is the base64 encoding of an 'image not found' image
        content = "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";
    }
    return content;
}

Then prepend it with the following "data:image/png;base64," replace the original src string with the new string and deliver all that client side in the new application.
