# css-loader
The `css-loader` interprets `@import` and `url()` like `import/require()` and will resolve them.
## Getting Started
To begin, you'll need to install `css-loader`:
```console
npm install --save-dev css-loader
```
Then add the plugin to your `webpack` config. For example:
**file.js**
```js
import css from "file.css";
```
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"],
},
],
},
};
```
**Only for webpack v4:**
Good loaders for requiring your assets are the [file-loader](https://github.com/webpack/file-loader) and the [url-loader](https://github.com/webpack/url-loader) which you should specify in your config (see [below](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader#assets)).
And run `webpack` via your preferred method.
### `toString`
You can also use the css-loader results directly as a string, such as in Angular's component style.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
use: ["to-string-loader", "css-loader"],
},
],
},
};
```
or
```js
const css = require("./test.css").toString();
console.log(css); // {String}
```
If there are SourceMaps, they will also be included in the result string.
If, for one reason or another, you need to extract CSS as a
plain string resource (i.e. not wrapped in a JS module) you
might want to check out the [extract-loader](https://github.com/peerigon/extract-loader).
It's useful when you, for instance, need to post process the CSS as a string.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
use: [
"handlebars-loader", // handlebars loader expects raw resource string
"extract-loader",
"css-loader",
],
},
],
},
};
```
## Options
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| :-----------------------------------: | :-------------------------: | :----------------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **[`url`](#url)** | `{Boolean\|Function}` | `true` | Enables/Disables `url`/`image-set` functions handling |
| **[`import`](#import)** | `{Boolean\|Function}` | `true` | Enables/Disables `@import` at-rules handling |
| **[`modules`](#modules)** | `{Boolean\|String\|Object}` | `{auto: true}` | Enables/Disables CSS Modules and their configuration |
| **[`sourceMap`](#sourcemap)** | `{Boolean}` | `compiler.devtool` | Enables/Disables generation of source maps |
| **[`importLoaders`](#importloaders)** | `{Number}` | `0` | Enables/Disables or setups number of loaders applied before CSS loader |
| **[`esModule`](#esmodule)** | `{Boolean}` | `true` | Use ES modules syntax |
### `url`
Type: `Boolean|Function`
Default: `true`
Enables/Disables `url`/`image-set` functions handling.
Control `url()` resolving. Absolute paths and root-relative URLs now resolving(Version [4.0.0](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#400-2020-07-25) and above).
Examples resolutions:
```
url(image.png) => require('./image.png')
url('image.png') => require('./image.png')
url(./image.png) => require('./image.png')
url('./image.png') => require('./image.png')
url('http://dontwritehorriblecode.com/2112.png') => require('http://dontwritehorriblecode.com/2112.png')
image-set(url('image2x.png') 1x, url('image1x.png') 2x) => require('./image1x.png') and require('./image2x.png')
```
To import assets from a `node_modules` path (include `resolve.modules`) and for `alias`, prefix it with a `~`:
```
url(~module/image.png) => require('module/image.png')
url('~module/image.png') => require('module/image.png')
url(~aliasDirectory/image.png) => require('otherDirectory/image.png')
```
#### `Boolean`
Enable/disable `url()` resolving.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
url: true,
},
},
],
},
};
```
#### `Function`
Allow to filter `url()`. All filtered `url()` will not be resolved (left in the code as they were written).
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
url: (url, resourcePath) => {
// resourcePath - path to css file
// Don't handle `img.png` urls
if (url.includes("img.png")) {
return false;
}
return true;
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
### `import`
Type: `Boolean|Function`
Default: `true`
Enables/Disables `@import` at-rules handling.
Control `@import` resolving. Absolute urls in `@import` will be moved in runtime code.
Examples resolutions:
```
@import 'style.css' => require('./style.css')
@import url(style.css) => require('./style.css')
@import url('style.css') => require('./style.css')
@import './style.css' => require('./style.css')
@import url(./style.css) => require('./style.css')
@import url('./style.css') => require('./style.css')
@import url('http://dontwritehorriblecode.com/style.css') => @import url('http://dontwritehorriblecode.com/style.css') in runtime
```
To import styles from a `node_modules` path (include `resolve.modules`) and for `alias`, prefix it with a `~`:
```
@import url(~module/style.css) => require('module/style.css')
@import url('~module/style.css') => require('module/style.css')
@import url(~aliasDirectory/style.css) => require('otherDirectory/style.css')
```
#### `Boolean`
Enable/disable `@import` resolving.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
import: true,
},
},
],
},
};
```
#### `Function`
Allow to filter `@import`. All filtered `@import` will not be resolved (left in the code as they were written).
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
import: (url, media, resourcePath) => {
// resourcePath - path to css file
// Don't handle `style.css` import
if (url.includes("style.css")) {
return false;
}
return true;
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
### `modules`
Type: `Boolean|String|Object`
Default: based on filename, `true` for all files matching `/\.module\.\w+$/i.test(filename)` regular expression, more information you can read [here](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader#auto)
Enables/Disables CSS Modules and their configuration.
The `modules` option enables/disables the **[CSS Modules](https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules)** specification and setup basic behaviour.
Using `false` value increase performance because we avoid parsing **CSS Modules** features, it will be useful for developers who use vanilla css or use other technologies.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: true,
},
},
],
},
};
```
#### `Features`
##### `Scope`
Using `local` value requires you to specify `:global` classes.
Using `global` value requires you to specify `:local` classes.
Using `pure` value requires selectors must contain at least one local class or id.
You can find more information [here](https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules).
Styles can be locally scoped to avoid globally scoping styles.
The syntax `:local(.className)` can be used to declare `className` in the local scope. The local identifiers are exported by the module.
With `:local` (without brackets) local mode can be switched on for this selector.
The `:global(.className)` notation can be used to declare an explicit global selector.
With `:global` (without brackets) global mode can be switched on for this selector.
The loader replaces local selectors with unique identifiers. The chosen unique identifiers are exported by the module.
```css
:local(.className) {
background: red;
}
:local .className {
color: green;
}
:local(.className .subClass) {
color: green;
}
:local .className .subClass :global(.global-class-name) {
color: blue;
}
```
```css
._23_aKvs-b8bW2Vg3fwHozO {
background: red;
}
._23_aKvs-b8bW2Vg3fwHozO {
color: green;
}
._23_aKvs-b8bW2Vg3fwHozO ._13LGdX8RMStbBE9w-t0gZ1 {
color: green;
}
._23_aKvs-b8bW2Vg3fwHozO ._13LGdX8RMStbBE9w-t0gZ1 .global-class-name {
color: blue;
}
```
> ℹ️ Identifiers are exported
```js
exports.locals = {
className: "_23_aKvs-b8bW2Vg3fwHozO",
subClass: "_13LGdX8RMStbBE9w-t0gZ1",
};
```
CamelCase is recommended for local selectors. They are easier to use within the imported JS module.
You can use `:local(#someId)`, but this is not recommended. Use classes instead of ids.
##### `Composing`
When declaring a local classname you can compose a local class from another local classname.
```css
:local(.className) {
background: red;
color: yellow;
}
:local(.subClass) {
composes: className;
background: blue;
}
```
This doesn't result in any change to the CSS itself but exports multiple classnames.
```js
exports.locals = {
className: "_23_aKvs-b8bW2Vg3fwHozO",
subClass: "_13LGdX8RMStbBE9w-t0gZ1 _23_aKvs-b8bW2Vg3fwHozO",
};
```
```css
._23_aKvs-b8bW2Vg3fwHozO {
background: red;
color: yellow;
}
._13LGdX8RMStbBE9w-t0gZ1 {
background: blue;
}
```
##### `Importing`
To import a local classname from another module.
> i We strongly recommend that you specify the extension when importing a file, since it is possible to import a file with any extension and it is not known in advance which file to use.
```css
:local(.continueButton) {
composes: button from "library/button.css";
background: red;
}
```
```css
:local(.nameEdit) {
composes: edit highlight from "./edit.css";
background: red;
}
```
To import from multiple modules use multiple `composes:` rules.
```css
:local(.className) {
composes: edit hightlight from "./edit.css";
composes: button from "module/button.css";
composes: classFromThisModule;
background: red;
}
```
##### `Values`
You can use `@value` to specific values to be reused throughout a document.
We recommend use prefix `v-` for values, `s-` for selectors and `m-` for media at-rules.
```css
@value v-primary: #BF4040;
@value s-black: black-selector;
@value m-large: (min-width: 960px);
.header {
color: v-primary;
padding: 0 10px;
}
.s-black {
color: black;
}
@media m-large {
.header {
padding: 0 20px;
}
}
```
#### `Boolean`
Enable **CSS Modules** features.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: true,
},
},
],
},
};
```
#### `String`
Enable **CSS Modules** features and setup `mode`.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
// Using `local` value has same effect like using `modules: true`
modules: "global",
},
},
],
},
};
```
#### `Object`
Enable **CSS Modules** features and setup options for them.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
compileType: "module",
mode: "local",
auto: true,
exportGlobals: true,
localIdentName: "[path][name]__[local]--[hash:base64:5]",
localIdentContext: path.resolve(__dirname, "src"),
localIdentHashPrefix: "my-custom-hash",
namedExport: true,
exportLocalsConvention: "camelCase",
exportOnlyLocals: false,
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `compileType`
Type: `'module' | 'icss'`
Default: `'module'`
Controls the level of compilation applied to the input styles.
The `module` handles `class` and `id` scoping and `@value` values.
The `icss` will only compile the low level `Interoperable CSS` format for declaring `:import` and `:export` dependencies between CSS and other languages.
ICSS underpins CSS Module support, and provides a low level syntax for other tools to implement CSS-module variations of their own.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
compileType: "icss",
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `auto`
Type: `Boolean|RegExp|Function`
Default: `'true'`
Allows auto enable CSS modules based on filename.
###### `Boolean`
Possible values:
- `true` - enables CSS modules or interoperable CSS format, sets the [`modules.compileType`](#compiletype) option to `module` value for all files which satisfy `/\.module(s)?\.\w+$/i.test(filename)` condition or sets the [`modules.compileType`](#compiletype) option to `icss` value for all files which satisfy `/\.icss\.\w+$/i.test(filename)` condition
- `false` - disables CSS modules or interoperable CSS format based on filename
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
auto: true,
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
###### `RegExp`
Enable css modules for files based on the filename satisfying your regex check.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
auto: /\.custom-module\.\w+$/i,
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
###### `Function`
Enable css modules for files based on the filename satisfying your filter function check.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
auto: (resourcePath) => resourcePath.endsWith(".custom-module.css"),
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `mode`
Type: `String|Function`
Default: `'local'`
Setup `mode` option. You can omit the value when you want `local` mode.
###### `String`
Possible values - `local`, `global`, and `pure`.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
mode: "global",
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
###### `Function`
Allows set different values for the `mode` option based on a filename
Possible return values - `local`, `global`, and `pure`.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
// Callback must return "local", "global", or "pure" values
mode: (resourcePath) => {
if (/pure.css$/i.test(resourcePath)) {
return "pure";
}
if (/global.css$/i.test(resourcePath)) {
return "global";
}
return "local";
},
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `localIdentName`
Type: `String`
Default: `'[hash:base64]'`
Allows to configure the generated local ident name.
See [loader-utils's documentation](https://github.com/webpack/loader-utils#interpolatename) for more information on options.
Recommendations:
- use `'[path][name]__[local]'` for development
- use `'[hash:base64]'` for production
The `[local]` placeholder contains original class.
**Note:** all reserved (`<>:"/\|?*`) and control filesystem characters (excluding characters in the `[local]` placeholder) will be converted to `-`.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
localIdentName: "[path][name]__[local]--[hash:base64:5]",
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `localIdentContext`
Type: `String`
Default: `compiler.context`
Allows to redefine basic loader context for local ident name.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
localIdentContext: path.resolve(__dirname, "src"),
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `localIdentHashPrefix`
Type: `String`
Default: `undefined`
Allows to add custom hash to generate more unique classes.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
localIdentHashPrefix: "hash",
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `localIdentRegExp`
Type: `String|RegExp`
Default: `undefined`
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {

test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
localIdentRegExp: /page-(.*)\.css/i,
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `getLocalIdent`
Type: `Function`
Default: `undefined`
Allows to specify a function to generate the classname.
By default we use built-in function to generate a classname.
If the custom function returns `null` or `undefined`, we fallback to the
built-in function to generate the classname.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
getLocalIdent: (context, localIdentName, localName, options) => {
return "whatever_random_class_name";
},
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `namedExport`
Type: `Boolean`
Default: `false`
Enables/disables ES modules named export for locals.
> ⚠ Names of locals are converted to camelcase, i.e. the `exportLocalsConvention` option has `camelCaseOnly` value by default.
> ⚠ It is not allowed to use JavaScript reserved words in css class names.
**styles.css**
```css
.foo-baz {
color: red;
}
.bar {
color: blue;
}
```
**index.js**
```js
import { fooBaz, bar } from "./styles.css";
console.log(fooBaz, bar);
```
You can enable a ES module named export using:
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
esModule: true,
modules: {
namedExport: true,
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `exportGlobals`
Type: `Boolean`
Default: `false`
Allow `css-loader` to export names from global class or id, so you can use that as local name.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
exportGlobals: true,
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `exportLocalsConvention`
Type: `String`
Default: based on the `modules.namedExport` option value, if `true` - `camelCaseOnly`, otherwise `asIs`
Style of exported class names.
By default, the exported JSON keys mirror the class names (i.e `asIs` value).
> ⚠ Only `camelCaseOnly` value allowed if you set the `namedExport` value to `true`.
| Name | Type | Description |
| :-------------------: | :--------: | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **`'asIs'`** | `{String}` | Class names will be exported as is. |
| **`'camelCase'`** | `{String}` | Class names will be camelized, the original class name will not to be removed from the locals |
| **`'camelCaseOnly'`** | `{String}` | Class names will be camelized, the original class name will be removed from the locals |
| **`'dashes'`** | `{String}` | Only dashes in class names will be camelized |
| **`'dashesOnly'`** | `{String}` | Dashes in class names will be camelized, the original class name will be removed from the locals |
**file.css**
```css
.class-name {
}
```
**file.js**
```js
import { className } from "file.css";
```
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
exportLocalsConvention: "camelCase",
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
##### `exportOnlyLocals`
Type: `Boolean`
Default: `false`
Export only locals.
**Useful** when you use **css modules** for pre-rendering (for example SSR).
For pre-rendering with `mini-css-extract-plugin` you should use this option instead of `style-loader!css-loader` **in the pre-rendering bundle**.
It doesn't embed CSS but only exports the identifier mappings.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
modules: {
exportOnlyLocals: true,
},
},
},
],
},
};
```
### `sourceMap`
Type: `Boolean`
Default: depends on the `compiler.devtool` value
By default generation of source maps depends on the [`devtool`](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/devtool/) option. All values enable source map generation except `eval` and `false` value.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
sourceMap: true,
},
},
],
},
};
```
### `importLoaders`
Type: `Number`
Default: `0`
Enables/Disables or setups number of loaders applied before CSS loader.
The option `importLoaders` allows you to configure how many loaders before `css-loader` should be applied to `@import`ed resources.
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
use: [
"style-loader",
{
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
importLoaders: 2,
// 0 => no loaders (default);
// 1 => postcss-loader;
// 2 => postcss-loader, sass-loader
},
},
"postcss-loader",
"sass-loader",
],
},
],
},
};
```
This may change in the future when the module system (i. e. webpack) supports loader matching by origin.
### `esModule`
Type: `Boolean`
Default: `true`
By default, `css-loader` generates JS modules that use the ES modules syntax.
There are some cases in which using ES modules is beneficial, like in the case of [module concatenation](https://webpack.js.org/plugins/module-concatenation-plugin/) and [tree shaking](https://webpack.js.org/guides/tree-shaking/).
You can enable a CommonJS modules syntax using:
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
esModule: false,
},
},
],
},
};
```
## Examples
### Disable url resolving using the `/* webpackIgnore: true */` comment
With the help of the `/* webpackIgnore: true */`comment, it is possible to disable sources handling for rules and for individual declarations.
```css
/* webpackIgnore: true */
@import url(./basic.css);
@import /* webpackIgnore: true */ url(./imported.css);
.class {
/* Disabled url handling for the all urls in the 'background' declaration */
color: red;
/* webpackIgnore: true */
background: url("./url/img.png"), url("./url/img.png");
}
.class {
/* Disabled url handling for the first url in the 'background' declaration */
color: red;
background:
/* webpackIgnore: true */ url("./url/img.png"), url("./url/img.png");
}
.class {
/* Disabled url handling for the second url in the 'background' declaration */
color: red;
background: url("./url/img.png"),
/* webpackIgnore: true */ url("./url/img.png");
}
/* prettier-ignore */
.class {
/* Disabled url handling for the second url in the 'background' declaration */
color: red;
background: url("./url/img.png"),
/* webpackIgnore: true */
url("./url/img.png");
}
/* prettier-ignore */
.class {
/* Disabled url handling for third and sixth urls in the 'background-image' declaration */
background-image: image-set(
url(./url/img.png) 2x,
url(./url/img.png) 3x,
/* webpackIgnore: true */ url(./url/img.png) 4x,
url(./url/img.png) 5x,
url(./url/img.png) 6x,
/* webpackIgnore: true */
url(./url/img.png) 7x
);
}
```
### Assets
The following `webpack.config.js` can load CSS files, embed small PNG/JPG/GIF/SVG images as well as fonts as [Data URLs](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2397) and copy larger files to the output directory.
**For webpack v5:**
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"],
},
{
test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg|eot|ttf|woff|woff2)$/i,
// More information here https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/
type: "asset",
},
],
},
};
```
**For webpack v4:**
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"],
},
{
test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg|eot|ttf|woff|woff2)$/i,
loader: "url-loader",
options: {
limit: 8192,
},
},
],
},
};
```
### Extract
For production builds it's recommended to extract the CSS from your bundle being able to use parallel loading of CSS/JS resources later on.
- This can be achieved by using the [mini-css-extract-plugin](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/mini-css-extract-plugin) to extract the CSS when running in production mode.
- As an alternative, if seeking better development performance and css outputs that mimic production. [extract-css-chunks-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/faceyspacey/extract-css-chunks-webpack-plugin) offers a hot module reload friendly, extended version of mini-css-extract-plugin. HMR real CSS files in dev, works like mini-css in non-dev
### Pure CSS, CSS modules and PostCSS
When you have pure CSS (without CSS modules), CSS modules and PostCSS in your project you can use this setup:
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
// For pure CSS - /\.css$/i,
// For Sass/SCSS - /\.((c|sa|sc)ss)$/i,
// For Less - /\.((c|le)ss)$/i,
test: /\.((c|sa|sc)ss)$/i,
use: [
"style-loader",
{
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
// Run `postcss-loader` on each CSS `@import`, do not forget that `sass-loader` compile non CSS `@import`'s into a single file
// If you need run `sass-loader` and `postcss-loader` on each CSS `@import` please set it to `2`
importLoaders: 1,
},
},
{
loader: "postcss-loader",
options: { plugins: () => [postcssPresetEnv({ stage: 0 })] },
},
// Can be `less-loader`
{
loader: "sass-loader",
},
],
},
// For webpack v5
{
test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg|eot|ttf|woff|woff2)$/i,
// More information here https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/
type: "asset",
},
// For webpack v4
// {
// test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg|eot|ttf|woff|woff2)$/i,
// loader: "url-loader",
// options: {
// limit: 8192,
// },
// },
],
},
};
```
### Resolve unresolved URLs using an alias
**index.css**
```css
.class {
background: url(/assets/unresolved/img.png);
}
```
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"],
},
],
},
resolve: {
alias: {
"/assets/unresolved/img.png": path.resolve(
__dirname,
"assets/real-path-to-img/img.png"
),
},
},
};
```
### Separating `Interoperable CSS`-only and `CSS Module` features
The following setup is an example of allowing `Interoperable CSS` features only (such as `:import` and `:export`) without using further `CSS Module` functionality by setting `compileType` option for all files that do not match `*.module.scss` naming convention. This is for reference as having `ICSS` features applied to all files was default `css-loader` behavior before v4.
Meanwhile all files matching `*.module.scss` are treated as `CSS Modules` in this example.
An example case is assumed where a project requires canvas drawing variables to be synchronized with CSS - canvas drawing uses the same color (set by color name in JavaScript) as HTML background (set by class name in CSS).
**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
// ...
// --------
// SCSS ALL EXCEPT MODULES
{
test: /\.scss$/,
exclude: /\.module\.scss$/,
use: [
{
loader: 'style-loader'
},
{
loader: 'css-loader',
options: {
importLoaders: 1,
modules: {
compileType: 'icss'
}
}
},
{
loader: 'sass-loader'
},
],
},
// --------
// SCSS MODULES
{
test: /\.module\.scss$/,
use: [
{
loader: 'style-loader'
},
{
loader: 'css-loader',
options: {
importLoaders: 1,
modules: {
compileType: 'module'
}
}
},
{
loader: 'sass-loader'
},
],
},
// --------
// ...
},
};
```
**variables.scss**
File treated as `ICSS`-only.
```scss
$colorBackground: red;
:export {
colorBackgroundCanvas: $colorBackground;
}
```
**Component.module.scss**
File treated as `CSS Module`.
```scss
@import "variables.scss";
.componentClass {
background-color: $colorBackground;
}
```
**Component.jsx**
Using both `CSS Module` functionality as well as SCSS variables directly in JavaScript.
```jsx
import svars from "variables.scss";
import styles from "Component.module.scss";
// Render DOM with CSS modules class name
//
//
// Somewhere in JavaScript canvas drawing code use the variable directly
// const ctx = mountsCanvas.current.getContext('2d',{alpha: false});
ctx.fillStyle = `${svars.colorBackgroundCanvas}`;
```
