var webpackConfig = {
    entry: "./src/index.js",
    output: {
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'build'),
        filename: "build"
    },
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                loader: "babel-loader",
                test: /\.js$/
            },
      {
        loaders: ["style-loader", "css-loader", "sass-loader"],
        test: /\.scss$/
      },
      {
                loaders: ["url", "img"],

I know the instructor doesn't have a slash / in front of the url, but my app keeps crashing without the slash. I didn 't see a step where Isaac created a directory for the images. His image is in the root of the src folder.
