Webpack 5: how to disable copying static files to build folder? - vue.js

Question

I am used webpack 2 for project, and some days ago I have upgraded to version 5.6.
2-3 hours and project compiling OK, but I have just one problem.
All static files (images, fonts) I store in /static/ folder.
CSS file:
.link-yellow{
background-image: url("/static/wifi2.png");
}
.link-red{
background-image: url("/static/wifi4.png");
}
.link-grey{
background-image: url("/static/wifi3.png");
}
Webpack 2 after compiling JS bundle file don't touch css url(...) links but webpack 5 copying files to folder /build/ and finally I have this:
4e4b4524859364a45966.png
5b97c8a6a9b9aa05b4be.otf
7ed064d8178174fa9ce1.woff2
14d3902c59ccd98328c8.png
440e51cee01b3e78fed5.png
664550a92a1dbb39a80a.png
build.js
And this records (like 4e4b4524859364a45966.png) in build.js:
...3197:function(t,e,n){"use strict";t.exports=n.p+"4e4b4524859364a45966.png"}...
Build progress:
I tried to use file-loader with this params:
module: {
rules: [
....
{
test: /\.(png|svg|jpg|jpeg|gif|gif|woff|woff2|eot|ttf|otf)$/,
loader: 'file-loader',
options:{
emitFile: false,
name: '[name].[ext]'
}
}
....
]
}
but after that I have the same files in /build/ folder with texts inside like this:
export default __webpack_public_path__ + "wifi2.png";
export default __webpack_public_path__ + "exo2.otf";
export default __webpack_public_path__ + "wifi3.png";
I moved some images files to style="..." attributes in vue files:
<div id="mainFooter" style="background: transparent url('/static/wifi3.png') no-repeat 0 0">
and webpack don't touch this text and not generate copies of static files in /build/ folder and all works fine. It is that I need.

const { VueLoaderPlugin } = require('vue-loader');

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {

module.exports.plugins = (module.exports.plugins || []).concat([
new webpack.DefinePlugin({

new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({

})
])
}
Maybe someone know how to disable generating static files in /build/ folder and leave files url's in css with no modifying paths?

Answer 1

UPDATE:
I have some progress. Code disabling touching urls in css files, but fonts still copying:
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: ['vue-style-loader']
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: 'css-loader',
options: {
url: false,
},
},
UPDATE2: Done. Adding:
{
test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg|eot|ttf|woff|woff2)$/i,
type: "asset",
}
finally disabling generate other files. At now generating only /build/build.js file
