Laravel mix import images

Hi I’ve setup laravel mix with separate src directory and assets directory. in the main theme folder.
along the lines of

src
--js
--scss
assets
--css
--images
--fonts
--videos

Now in one of my .js files I’d like to import images to use - usually I did it like this import imageFrames from "/images/3dbox/*.png";

But here I get an error Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '/images/3dbox/*.png' in 'C:\strony\sites\www\site\public_html\themes\base\src\js'

I’ve tried many webpack configurations but with no luck.

Current webpack config file

require("dotenv").config({ path: __dirname + "/./../../.env" });

let mix = require("laravel-mix");
// let host = process.env.APP_URL.replace("https://");
mix.setPublicPath("/");
mix.js("./src/js/main.js", "assets/js/").sass(
    "./src/scss/main.scss",
    "assets/css/"
);

mix.setResourceRoot("/assets/");

mix.browserSync({
    host: `${process.env.APP_URL}`,
    proxy: `${process.env.APP_URL}`,
    notify: false,
    files: ["./assets/css/*.css", "./**/*.htm", "./assets/js/*.js"],
});

mix.minify(["./assets/css/main.css", "./assets/js/main.js"]);
mix.sourceMaps(); // Enable sourcemaps

mix.options({
    processCssUrls: false, // Process/optimize relative stylesheet url()'s. Set to false, if you don't want them touched.
});

mix.webpackConfig({
    devtool: "inline-source-map",
    plugins: [
        {
            apply(compiler) {
                // Intercept done hook to modify CustomTasksPlugin tap function
                compiler.hooks.done.intercept({
                    register: (tapInfo) => {
                        let firstRun = true;
                        if (tapInfo.name === "CustomTasksPlugin") {
                            const fn = tapInfo.fn;
                            tapInfo.fn = (stats, callback, ...args) => {
                                // Only run tap function (tasks) for first build
                                if (firstRun) {
                                    fn(stats, callback, ...args);
                                    firstRun = false;
                                } else {
                                    callback();
                                }
                            };
                        }
                        return tapInfo;
                    },
                });
            },
        },
    ],
});
