In order to extend our usage of `webpack`, you can define a function that extends its config via `next.config.js`.

The following example shows how you can use [`react-svg-loader`](https://github.com/boopathi/react-svg-loader) to easily import any `.svg` file as a React component, without modification.

```js
// This file is not going through babel transformation.
// So, we write it in vanilla JS
// (But you could use ES2015 features supported by your Node.js version)

module.exports = {
webpack: (config, { dev }) => {
config.module.rules.push({ test: /\.svg$/, loader: 'babel!react-svg' })

// Important: return the modified config
   // Perform customizations to config
   
   // Important: return the modified config
return config
}
}
```

*Warning: Adding loaders to support new file types (css, less, svg, etc.) is __not__ recommended because only the client code gets bundled via webpack and thus it won't work on the initial server rendering. Babel plugins are a good alternative because they're applied consistently between server/client rendering (e.g. [babel-plugin-inline-react-svg](https://github.com/kesne/babel-plugin-inline-react-svg)).*

### Customizing babel config

In order to extend our usage of `babel`, you can simply define a `.babelrc` file at the root of your app. This file is optional.
