eslint Parse errors in imported module for images

Question

I'm currently working with a React Project and I typically add images I use for components in this way:

import CartImage from '../../images/icon_cart.png';

All is well and the image loads up properly in my app. Unfortunately the are some linting errors and warnings that I get:

Parse errors in imported module '../../images/icon_cart.png': Unexpected character ' ' (1:1) import/namespace

Parse errors in imported module '../../images/icon_cart.png': Unexpected character ' ' (1:1) import/default

Parse errors in imported module '../../images/icon_cart.png': Unexpected character ' ' (1:1) import/import/no-named-as-default

Parse errors in imported module '../../images/icon_cart.png': Unexpected character ' ' (1:1) import/no-named-as-default-member

This happens to all files where I import an image. Below is my .eslintrc:

{
    "extends": [
        "eslint:recommended",
        "plugin:import/errors",
        "plugin:import/warnings"

    "settings": {
        "import/resolver": {
            "node": {
                "paths": ["src"] 
            }
        }
    }
}

I then tried adding the following settings to my .eslintrc file:

  "import/ignore": [
    ".(png)"
  ]

The error for the images went away but now I keep getting errors for most of my javascript files similar to below:

1:8 No default export found in module import/default

For example, all my files with this:

import webpack from 'webpack';

Now gets the no default export found in module error.

Anything else wrong with my eslint configuration?

You have to make the parser ignore the folder that contains your images or gifs. In my case I added to my eslintrc the following properties:

  ignorePatterns: [
    'node_modules/',
    'src/serviceWorker.ts',
    'template/src/serviceWorker.ts',
    'src/assets/statics/'
  ],
