Importing local files, like images and fonts into the server side rending js

I banged my head into my keyboard for a couple weeks trying to figure out webpack and importing local files in the server side rendering javascript. So that others do not have to, here is an example of how to do it. Ensure you are on the import-local-files branch.

In this example app, image importing works, but in another project where I'm using it, the fonts will import no problem, but the bundled js will refuse to import image from dangerous local path... no idea why, the package.json files are basically the same.

My work around is to define the image size in a View tag, then overlay the image with a python script, to generate the desired PDF.
