For example: **file.js** ```js import * as css from "file.css"; ``` **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"], }, ], }, }; ``` And run `webpack` via your preferred method. If, for one reason or another, you need to extract CSS as a file (i.e. do not store CSS in a JS module) you might want to check out the [recommend example](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader#recommend). ## Options - **[`url`](#url)** - **[`import`](#import)** - **[`modules`](#modules)** - **[`sourceMap`](#sourcemap)** - **[`importLoaders`](#importloaders)** - **[`esModule`](#esmodule)** - **[`exportType`](#exporttype)** ### `url` Type: ```ts type url = | boolean | { filter: (url: string, resourcePath: string) => boolean; }; ``` Default: `true` Allow to enable/disables handling the CSS functions `url` and `image-set`. If set to `false`, `css-loader` will not parse any paths specified in `url` or `image-set`. A function can also be passed to control this behavior dynamically based on the path to the asset. Starting with version [4.0.0](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#400-2020-07-25), absolute paths are parsed based on the server root. Examples resolutions: ```js url(image.png) => require('./image.png') url('image.png') => require('./image.png') url(./image.png) => require('./image.png') url('./image.png') => require('./image.png') url('http://dontwritehorriblecode.com/2112.png') => require('http://dontwritehorriblecode.com/2112.png') image-set(url('image2x.png') 1x, url('image1x.png') 2x) => require('./image1x.png') and require('./image2x.png') ``` To import assets from a `node_modules` path (include `resolve.modules`) and for `alias`, prefix it with a `~`: ```js url(~module/image.png) => require('module/image.png') url('~module/image.png') => require('module/image.png') url(~aliasDirectory/image.png) => require('otherDirectory/image.png') ``` #### `boolean` Enable/disable `url()` resolving. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { url: true, }, }, ], }, }; ``` #### `object` 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$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { url: { filter: (url, resourcePath) => { // resourcePath - path to css file // Don't handle `img.png` urls if (url.includes("img.png")) { return false; } // Don't handle images under root-relative /external_images/ if (/^\/external_images\//.test(path)) { return false; } return true; }, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ### `import` Type: ```ts type importFn = | boolean | { filter: ( url: string, media: string, resourcePath: string, supports?: string, layer?: string, ) => boolean; }; ``` Default: `true` Allows to enables/disables `@import` at-rules handling. Control `@import` resolving. Absolute urls in `@import` will be moved in runtime code. Examples resolutions: ``` @import 'style.css' => require('./style.css') @import url(style.css) => require('./style.css') @import url('style.css') => require('./style.css') @import './style.css' => require('./style.css') @import url(./style.css) => require('./style.css') @import url('./style.css') => require('./style.css') @import url('http://dontwritehorriblecode.com/style.css') => @import url('http://dontwritehorriblecode.com/style.css') in runtime ``` To import styles from a `node_modules` path (include `resolve.modules`) and for `alias`, prefix it with a `~`: ``` @import url(~module/style.css) => require('module/style.css') @import url('~module/style.css') => require('module/style.css') @import url(~aliasDirectory/style.css) => require('otherDirectory/style.css') ``` #### `boolean` Enable/disable `@import` resolving. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { import: true, }, }, ], }, }; ``` #### `object` ##### `filter` Type: ```ts type filter = (url: string, media: string, resourcePath: string) => boolean; ``` Default: `undefined` 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$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { import: { filter: (url, media, resourcePath) => { // resourcePath - path to css file // Don't handle `style.css` import if (url.includes("style.css")) { return false; } return true; }, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ### `modules` Type: ```ts type modules = | boolean | "local" | "global" | "pure" | "icss" | { auto: boolean | regExp | ((resourcePath: string) => boolean); mode: | "local" | "global" | "pure" | "icss" | ((resourcePath) => "local" | "global" | "pure" | "icss"); localIdentName: string; localIdentContext: string; localIdentHashSalt: string; localIdentHashFunction: string; localIdentHashDigest: string; localIdentRegExp: string | regExp; getLocalIdent: ( context: LoaderContext, localIdentName: string, localName: string, ) => string; namedExport: boolean; exportGlobals: boolean; exportLocalsConvention: | "as-is" | "camel-case" | "camel-case-only" | "dashes" | "dashes-only" | ((name: string) => string); exportOnlyLocals: boolean; getJSON: ({ resourcePath, imports, exports, replacements, }: { resourcePath: string; imports: object[]; exports: object[]; replacements: object[]; }) => Promise | void; }; ``` Default: `undefined` Allows to enable/disable CSS Modules or ICSS and setup configuration: - `undefined` - enable CSS modules for all files matching `/\.module\.\w+$/i.test(filename)` and `/\.icss\.\w+$/i.test(filename)` regexp. - `true` - enable CSS modules for all files. - `false` - disables CSS Modules for all files. - `string` - disables CSS Modules for all files and set the `mode` option, more information you can read [here](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader#mode) - `object` - enable CSS modules for all files, if `modules.auto` option is not specified, otherwise the `modules.auto` option will determine whether if it is CSS modules or not, more information you can read [here](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader#auto) The `modules` option enables/disables the **[CSS Modules](https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules)** specification and setup basic behaviour. Using `false` value increase performance because we avoid parsing **CSS Modules** features, it will be useful for developers who use vanilla css or use other technologies. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/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; } ``` > **Note** > > 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. > **Note** > > 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 highlight from "./edit.css", button from "module/button.css", classFromThisModule; background: red; } ``` or ```css :local(.className) { composes: edit highlight 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$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { mode: "local", auto: true, exportGlobals: true, localIdentName: "[path][name]__[local]--[hash:base64:5]", localIdentContext: path.resolve(__dirname, "src"), localIdentHashSalt: "my-custom-hash", namedExport: true, exportLocalsConvention: "as-is", exportOnlyLocals: false, getJSON: ({ resourcePath, imports, exports, replacements }) => {}, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `auto` Type: ```ts type auto = | boolean | regExp | (( resourcePath: string, resourceQuery: string, resourceFragment: string, ) => boolean); ``` Default: `undefined` Allows auto enable CSS modules/ICSS based on the filename, query or fragment when `modules` option is object. Possible values: - `undefined` - enable CSS modules for all files. - `true` - enable CSS modules for all files matching `/\.module\.\w+$/i.test(filename)` and `/\.icss\.\w+$/i.test(filename)` regexp. - `false` - disables CSS Modules. - `RegExp` - enable CSS modules for all files matching `/RegExp/i.test(filename)` regexp. - `function` - enable CSS Modules for files based on the filename satisfying your filter function check. ###### `boolean` Possible values: - `true` - enables CSS modules or interoperable CSS format, sets the [`modules.mode`](#mode) option to `local` value for all files which satisfy `/\.module(s)?\.\w+$/i.test(filename)` condition or sets the [`modules.mode`](#mode) 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, query or fragment satisfying your filter function check. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { auto: (resourcePath, resourceQuery, resourceFragment) => { return resourcePath.endsWith(".custom-module.css"); }, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `mode` Type: ```ts type mode = | "local" | "global" | "pure" | "icss" | (( resourcePath: string, resourceQuery: string, resourceFragment: string, ) => "local" | "global" | "pure" | "icss"); ``` Default: `'local'` Setup `mode` option. You can omit the value when you want `local` mode. Controls the level of compilation applied to the input styles. The `local`, `global`, and `pure` handles `class` and `id` scoping and `@value` values. The `icss` will only compile the low level `Interoperable CSS` format for declaring `:import` and `:export` dependencies between CSS and other languages. ICSS underpins CSS Module support, and provides a low level syntax for other tools to implement CSS-module variations of their own. ###### `string` Possible values - `local`, `global`, `pure`, and `icss`. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { mode: "global", }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ###### `function` Allows set different values for the `mode` option based on the filename, query or fragment. Possible return values - `local`, `global`, `pure` and `icss`. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { // Callback must return "local", "global", or "pure" values mode: (resourcePath, resourceQuery, resourceFragment) => { if (/pure.css$/i.test(resourcePath)) { return "pure"; } if (/global.css$/i.test(resourcePath)) { return "global"; } return "local"; }, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `localIdentName` Type: ```ts type localIdentName = string; ``` Default: `'[hash:base64]'` Allows to configure the generated local ident name. For more information on options see: - [webpack template strings](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/output/#template-strings), - [output.hashDigest](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/output/#outputhashdigest), - [output.hashDigestLength](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/output/#outputhashdigestlength), - [output.hashFunction](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/output/#outputhashfunction), - [output.hashSalt](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/output/#outputhashsalt). Supported template strings: - `[name]` the basename of the resource - `[folder]` the folder the resource relative to the `compiler.context` option or `modules.localIdentContext` option. - `[path]` the path of the resource relative to the `compiler.context` option or `modules.localIdentContext` option. - `[file]` - filename and path. - `[ext]` - extension with leading `.`. - `[hash]` - the hash of the string, generated based on `localIdentHashSalt`, `localIdentHashFunction`, `localIdentHashDigest`, `localIdentHashDigestLength`, `localIdentContext`, `resourcePath` and `exportName` - `[:hash::]` - hash with hash settings. - `[local]` - original class. Recommendations: - use `'[path][name]__[local]'` for development - use `'[hash:base64]'` for production The `[local]` placeholder contains original class. **Note:** all reserved (`<>:"/\|?*`) and control filesystem characters (excluding characters in the `[local]` placeholder) will be converted to `-`. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { localIdentName: "[path][name]__[local]--[hash:base64:5]", }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `localIdentContext` Type: ```ts type localIdentContex = string; ``` Default: `compiler.context` Allows to redefine basic loader context for local ident name. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { localIdentContext: path.resolve(__dirname, "src"), }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `localIdentHashSalt` Type: ```ts type localIdentHashSalt = string; ``` Default: `undefined` Allows to add custom hash to generate more unique classes. For more information see [output.hashSalt](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/output/#outputhashsalt). **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { localIdentHashSalt: "hash", }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `localIdentHashFunction` Type: ```ts type localIdentHashFunction = string; ``` Default: `md4` Allows to specify hash function to generate classes . For more information see [output.hashFunction](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/output/#outputhashfunction). **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { localIdentHashFunction: "md4", }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `localIdentHashDigest` Type: ```ts type localIdentHashDigest = string; ``` Default: `hex` Allows to specify hash digest to generate classes. For more information see [output.hashDigest](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/output/#outputhashdigest). **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { localIdentHashDigest: "base64", }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `localIdentHashDigestLength` Type: ```ts type localIdentHashDigestLength = number; ``` Default: `20` Allows to specify hash digest length to generate classes. For more information see [output.hashDigestLength](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/output/#outputhashdigestlength). **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { localIdentHashDigestLength: 5, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `hashStrategy` Type: `'resource-path-and-local-name' | 'minimal-subset'` Default: `'resource-path-and-local-name'` Should local name be used when computing the hash. - `'resource-path-and-local-name'` Both resource path and local name are used when hashing. Each identifier in a module gets its own hash digest, always. - `'minimal-subset'` Auto detect if identifier names can be omitted from hashing. Use this value to optimize the output for better GZIP or Brotli compression. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { hashStrategy: "minimal-subset", }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `localIdentRegExp` Type: ```ts type localIdentRegExp = string | RegExp; ``` Default: `undefined` **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { localIdentRegExp: /page-(.*)\.css/i, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `getLocalIdent` Type: ```ts type getLocalIdent = ( context: LoaderContext, localIdentName: string, localName: string, ) => string; ``` Default: `undefined` Allows to specify a function to generate the classname. By default we use built-in function to generate a classname. If the custom function returns `null` or `undefined`, we fallback to the built-in function to generate the classname. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { getLocalIdent: (context, localIdentName, localName, options) => { return "whatever_random_class_name"; }, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `namedExport` Type: ```ts type namedExport = boolean; ``` Default: Depends on the value of the `esModule` option. If the value of the `esModule` options is `true`, this value will also be `true`, otherwise it will be `false`. Enables/disables ES modules named export for locals. > **Warning** > > Because it is not allowed to use the `default` class in CSS when the `namedExport` is `true` (since ECMA modules have a reserved keyword `default` for default export), it will be automatically renamed to the `_default` class. **styles.css** ```css .foo-baz { color: red; } .bar { color: blue; } .default { color: green; } ``` **index.js** ```js import * as styles from "./styles.css"; // If using `exportLocalsConvention: "as-is"` (default value): console.log(styles["foo-baz"], styles.bar); // If using `exportLocalsConvention: "camel-case-only"`: console.log(styles.fooBaz, styles.bar); // For the `default` classname console.log(styles["_default"]); ``` You can enable a ES module named export using: **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { esModule: true, modules: { namedExport: true, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` To set a custom name for namedExport, can use [`exportLocalsConvention`](#exportLocalsConvention) option as a function. Example below in the [`examples`](#examples) section. ##### `exportGlobals` Type: ```ts type exportsGLobals = boolean; ``` Default: `false` Allow `css-loader` to export names from global class or id, so you can use that as local name. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { exportGlobals: true, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `exportLocalsConvention` Type: ```ts type exportLocalsConvention = | "as-is" | "camel-case" | "camel-case-only" | "dashes" | "dashes-only" | ((name: string) => string); ``` Default: Depends on the value of the `modules.namedExport` option, if `true` - `as-is`, otherwise `camel-case-only`. > **Warning** > > Names of locals are converted to camelcase when the named export is `false`, i.e. the `exportLocalsConvention` option has > `camelCaseOnly` value by default. You can set this back to any other valid option but selectors > which are not valid JavaScript identifiers may run into problems which do not implement the entire modules specification. Style of exported class names. ###### `string` By default, the exported JSON keys mirror the class names (i.e `as-is` value). | Name | Type | Description | | :---------------------: | :------: | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **`'as-is'`** | `string` | Class names will be exported as is. | | **`'camel-case'`** | `string` | Class names will be camelized, the original class name will not to be removed from the locals | | **`'camel-case-only'`** | `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 | | **`'dashes-only'`** | `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$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { exportLocalsConvention: "camel-case-only", }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ###### `function` **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { exportLocalsConvention: function (name) { return name.replace(/-/g, "_"); }, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { exportLocalsConvention: function (name) { return [ name.replace(/-/g, "_"), // dashesCamelCase name.replace(/-+(\w)/g, (match, firstLetter) => firstLetter.toUpperCase(), ), ]; }, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `exportOnlyLocals` Type: ```ts type exportOnlyLocals = boolean; ``` Default: `false` Export only locals. **Useful** when you use **css modules** for pre-rendering (for example SSR). For pre-rendering with `mini-css-extract-plugin` you should use this option instead of `style-loader!css-loader` **in the pre-rendering bundle**. It doesn't embed CSS but only exports the identifier mappings. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { exportOnlyLocals: true, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ##### `getJSON` Type: ```ts type getJSON = ({ resourcePath, imports, exports, replacements, }: { resourcePath: string; imports: object[]; exports: object[]; replacements: object[]; }) => Promise | void; ``` Default: `undefined` Enables a callback to output the CSS modules mapping JSON. The callback is invoked with an object containing the following: - `resourcePath`: the absolute path of the original resource, e.g., `/foo/bar/baz.module.css` - `imports`: an array of import objects with data about import types and file paths, e.g., ```json [ { "type": "icss_import", "importName": "___CSS_LOADER_ICSS_IMPORT_0___", "url": "\"-!../../../../../node_modules/css-loader/dist/cjs.js??ruleSet[1].rules[4].use[1]!../../../../../node_modules/postcss-loader/dist/cjs.js!../../../../../node_modules/sass-loader/dist/cjs.js!../../../../baz.module.css\"", "icss": true, "index": 0 } ] ``` (Note that this will include all imports, not just those relevant to CSS modules.) - `exports`: an array of export objects with exported names and values, e.g., ```json [ { "name": "main", "value": "D2Oy" } ] ``` - `replacements`: an array of import replacement objects used for linking `imports` and `exports`, e.g., ```json { "replacementName": "___CSS_LOADER_ICSS_IMPORT_0_REPLACEMENT_0___", "importName": "___CSS_LOADER_ICSS_IMPORT_0___", "localName": "main" } ``` Using `getJSON`, it's possible to output a files with all CSS module mappings. In the following example, we use `getJSON` to cache canonical mappings and add stand-ins for any composed values (through `composes`), and we use a custom plugin to consolidate the values and output them to a file: **webpack.config.js** ```js const path = require("path"); const fs = require("fs"); const CSS_LOADER_REPLACEMENT_REGEX = /(___CSS_LOADER_ICSS_IMPORT_\d+_REPLACEMENT_\d+___)/g; const REPLACEMENT_REGEX = /___REPLACEMENT\[(.*?)]\[(.*?)]___/g; const IDENTIFIER_REGEX = /\[(.*?)]\[(.*?)]/; const replacementsMap = {}; const canonicalValuesMap = {}; const allExportsJson = {}; function generateIdentifier(resourcePath, localName) { return `[${resourcePath}][${localName}]`; } function addReplacements(resourcePath, imports, exportsJson, replacements) { const importReplacementsMap = {}; // create a dict to quickly identify imports and get their absolute stand-in strings in the currently loaded file // e.g., { '___CSS_LOADER_ICSS_IMPORT_0_REPLACEMENT_0___': '___REPLACEMENT[/foo/bar/baz.css][main]___' } importReplacementsMap[resourcePath] = replacements.reduce( (acc, { replacementName, importName, localName }) => { const replacementImportUrl = imports.find( (importData) => importData.importName === importName, ).url; const relativePathRe = /.*!(.*)"/; const [, relativePath] = replacementImportUrl.match(relativePathRe); const importPath = path.resolve(path.dirname(resourcePath), relativePath); const identifier = generateIdentifier(importPath, localName); return { ...acc, [replacementName]: `___REPLACEMENT${identifier}___` }; }, {}, ); // iterate through the raw exports and add stand-in variables // ('___REPLACEMENT[][]___') // to be replaced in the plugin below for (const [localName, classNames] of Object.entries(exportsJson)) { const identifier = generateIdentifier(resourcePath, localName); if (CSS_LOADER_REPLACEMENT_REGEX.test(classNames)) { // if there are any replacements needed in the concatenated class names, // add them all to the replacements map to be replaced altogether later replacementsMap[identifier] = classNames.replaceAll( CSS_LOADER_REPLACEMENT_REGEX, (_, replacementName) => importReplacementsMap[resourcePath][replacementName], ); } else { // otherwise, no class names need replacements so we can add them to // canonical values map and all exports JSON verbatim canonicalValuesMap[identifier] = classNames; allExportsJson[resourcePath] = allExportsJson[resourcePath] || {}; allExportsJson[resourcePath][localName] = classNames; } } } function replaceReplacements(classNames) { return classNames.replaceAll( REPLACEMENT_REGEX, (_, resourcePath, localName) => { const identifier = generateIdentifier(resourcePath, localName); if (identifier in canonicalValuesMap) { return canonicalValuesMap[identifier]; } // Recurse through other stand-in that may be imports const canonicalValue = replaceReplacements(replacementsMap[identifier]); canonicalValuesMap[identifier] = canonicalValue; return canonicalValue; }, ); } function getJSON({ resourcePath, imports, exports, replacements }) { const exportsJson = exports.reduce((acc, { name, value }) => { return { ...acc, [name]: value }; }, {}); if (replacements.length > 0) { // replacements present --> add stand-in values for absolute paths and local names, // which will be resolved to their canonical values in the plugin below addReplacements(resourcePath, imports, exportsJson, replacements); } else { // no replacements present --> add to canonicalValuesMap verbatim // since all values here are canonical/don't need resolution for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(exportsJson)) { const id = `[${resourcePath}][${key}]`; canonicalValuesMap[id] = value; } allExportsJson[resourcePath] = exportsJson; } } class CssModulesJsonPlugin { constructor(options) { this.options = options; } // eslint-disable-next-line class-methods-use-this apply(compiler) { compiler.hooks.emit.tap("CssModulesJsonPlugin", () => { for (const [identifier, classNames] of Object.entries(replacementsMap)) { const adjustedClassNames = replaceReplacements(classNames); replacementsMap[identifier] = adjustedClassNames; const [, resourcePath, localName] = identifier.match(IDENTIFIER_REGEX); allExportsJson[resourcePath] = allExportsJson[resourcePath] || {}; allExportsJson[resourcePath][localName] = adjustedClassNames; } fs.writeFileSync( this.options.filepath, JSON.stringify( // Make path to be relative to `context` (your project root) Object.fromEntries( Object.entries(allExportsJson).map((key) => { key[0] = path .relative(compiler.context, key[0]) .replace(/\\/g, "/"); return key; }), ), null, 2, ), "utf8", ); }); } } module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { getJSON } }, }, ], }, plugins: [ new CssModulesJsonPlugin({ filepath: path.resolve(__dirname, "./output.css.json"), }), ], }; ``` In the above, all import aliases are replaced with `___REPLACEMENT[][]___` in `getJSON`, and they're resolved in the custom plugin. All CSS mappings are contained in `allExportsJson`: ```json { "foo/bar/baz.module.css": { "main": "D2Oy", "header": "thNN" }, "foot/bear/bath.module.css": { "logo": "sqiR", "info": "XMyI" } } ``` This is saved to a local file named `output.css.json`. ### `importLoaders` Type: ```ts type importLoaders = number; ``` Default: `0` Allows to enables/disables or setups number of loaders applied before CSS loader for `@import` at-rules, CSS modules and ICSS imports, i.e. `@import`/`composes`/`@value value from './values.css'`/etc. The option `importLoaders` allows you to configure how many loaders before `css-loader` should be applied to `@import`ed resources and CSS modules/ICSS imports. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, use: [ "style-loader", { loader: "css-loader", options: { importLoaders: 2, // 0 => no loaders (default); // 1 => postcss-loader; // 2 => postcss-loader, sass-loader }, }, "postcss-loader", "sass-loader", ], }, ], }, }; ``` This may change in the future when the module system (i. e. webpack) supports loader matching by origin. ### `sourceMap` Type: ```ts type sourceMap = boolean; ``` Default: depends on the `compiler.devtool` value By default generation of source maps depends on the [`devtool`](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/devtool/) option. All values enable source map generation except `eval` and `false` value. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { sourceMap: true, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ### `esModule` Type: ```ts type esModule = 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$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { esModule: false, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ### `exportType` Type: ```ts type exportType = "array" | "string" | "css-style-sheet"; ``` Default: `'array'` Allows exporting styles as array with modules, string or [constructable stylesheet](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/02/constructable-stylesheets) (i.e. [`CSSStyleSheet`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CSSStyleSheet)). Default value is `'array'`, i.e. loader exports array of modules with specific API which is used in `style-loader` or other. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { assert: { type: "css" }, loader: "css-loader", options: { exportType: "css-style-sheet", }, }, ], }, }; ``` **src/index.js** ```js import sheet from "./styles.css" assert { type: "css" }; document.adoptedStyleSheets = [sheet]; shadowRoot.adoptedStyleSheets = [sheet]; ``` #### `'array'` The default export is array of modules with specific API which is used in `style-loader` or other. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.(sa|sc|c)ss$/i, use: ["style-loader", "css-loader", "postcss-loader", "sass-loader"], }, ], }, }; ``` **src/index.js** ```js // `style-loader` applies styles to DOM import "./styles.css"; ``` #### `'string'` > **Warning** > > You should not use [`style-loader`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/style-loader) or [`mini-css-extract-plugin`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/mini-css-extract-plugin) with this value. > **Warning** > > The `esModule` option should be enabled if you want to use it with [`CSS modules`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader#modules), by default for locals will be used [named export](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader#namedexport). The default export is `string`. **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.(sa|sc|c)ss$/i, use: ["css-loader", "postcss-loader", "sass-loader"], }, ], }, }; ``` **src/index.js** ```js import sheet from "./styles.css"; console.log(sheet); ``` #### `'css-style-sheet'` > **Warning** > > `@import` rules not yet allowed, more [information](https://web.dev/css-module-scripts/#@import-rules-not-yet-allowed) > **Warning** > > You don't need [`style-loader`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/style-loader) anymore, please remove it. > **Warning** > > The `esModule` option should be enabled if you want to use it with [`CSS modules`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader#modules), by default for locals will be used [named export](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader#namedexport). > **Warning** > > Source maps are not currently supported in `Chrome` due [bug](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1174094&q=CSSStyleSheet%20source%20maps&can=2) The default export is a [constructable stylesheet](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/02/constructable-stylesheets) (i.e. [`CSSStyleSheet`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CSSStyleSheet)). Useful for [custom elements](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components/Using_custom_elements) and shadow DOM. More information: - [Using CSS Module Scripts to import stylesheets](https://web.dev/css-module-scripts/) - [Constructable Stylesheets: seamless reusable styles](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/02/constructable-stylesheets) **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { assert: { type: "css" }, loader: "css-loader", options: { exportType: "css-style-sheet", }, }, // For Sass/SCSS: // // { // assert: { type: "css" }, // rules: [ // { // loader: "css-loader", // options: { // exportType: "css-style-sheet", // // Other options // }, // }, // { // loader: "sass-loader", // options: { // // Other options // }, // }, // ], // }, ], }, }; ``` **src/index.js** ```js // Example for Sass/SCSS: // import sheet from "./styles.scss" assert { type: "css" }; // Example for CSS modules: // import sheet, { myClass } from "./styles.scss" assert { type: "css" }; // Example for CSS: import sheet from "./styles.css" assert { type: "css" }; document.adoptedStyleSheets = [sheet]; shadowRoot.adoptedStyleSheets = [sheet]; ``` For migration purposes, you can use the following configuration: ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, oneOf: [ { assert: { type: "css" }, loader: "css-loader", options: { exportType: "css-style-sheet", // Other options }, }, { use: [ "style-loader", { loader: "css-loader", options: { // Other options }, }, ], }, ], }, ], }, }; ``` ## Examples ### Recommend 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), because it creates separate css files. For `development` mode (including `webpack-dev-server`) you can use [style-loader](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/style-loader), because it injects CSS into the DOM using multiple `` and works faster. > **Note** > > Do not use `style-loader` and `mini-css-extract-plugin` together. **webpack.config.js** ```js const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin"); const devMode = process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production"; module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { // If you enable `experiments.css` or `experiments.futureDefaults`, please uncomment line below // type: "javascript/auto", test: /\.(sa|sc|c)ss$/i, use: [ devMode ? "style-loader" : MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader, "css-loader", "postcss-loader", "sass-loader", ], }, ], }, plugins: [].concat(devMode ? [] : [new MiniCssExtractPlugin()]), }; ``` ### Disable url resolving using the `/* webpackIgnore: true */` comment With the help of the `/* webpackIgnore: true */`comment, it is possible to disable sources handling for rules and for individual declarations. ```css /* webpackIgnore: true */ @import url(./basic.css); @import /* webpackIgnore: true */ url(./imported.css); .class { /* Disabled url handling for the all urls in the 'background' declaration */ color: red; /* webpackIgnore: true */ background: url("./url/img.png"), url("./url/img.png"); } .class { /* Disabled url handling for the first url in the 'background' declaration */ color: red; background: /* webpackIgnore: true */ url("./url/img.png"), url("./url/img.png"); } .class { /* Disabled url handling for the second url in the 'background' declaration */ color: red; background: url("./url/img.png"), /* webpackIgnore: true */ url("./url/img.png"); } /* prettier-ignore */ .class { /* Disabled url handling for the second url in the 'background' declaration */ color: red; background: url("./url/img.png"), /* webpackIgnore: true */ url("./url/img.png"); } /* prettier-ignore */ .class { /* Disabled url handling for third and sixth urls in the 'background-image' declaration */ background-image: image-set( url(./url/img.png) 2x, url(./url/img.png) 3x, /* webpackIgnore: true */ url(./url/img.png) 4x, url(./url/img.png) 5x, url(./url/img.png) 6x, /* webpackIgnore: true */ url(./url/img.png) 7x ); } ``` ### Assets The following `webpack.config.js` can load CSS files, embed small PNG/JPG/GIF/SVG images as well as fonts as [Data URLs](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2397) and copy larger files to the output directory. **For webpack v5:** **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"], }, { test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg|eot|ttf|woff|woff2)$/i, // More information here https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/ type: "asset", }, ], }, }; ``` ### Extract For production builds it's recommended to extract the CSS from your bundle being able to use parallel loading of CSS/JS resources later on. - This can be achieved by using the [mini-css-extract-plugin](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/mini-css-extract-plugin) to extract the CSS when running in production mode. - As an alternative, if seeking better development performance and css outputs that mimic production. [extract-css-chunks-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/faceyspacey/extract-css-chunks-webpack-plugin) offers a hot module reload friendly, extended version of mini-css-extract-plugin. HMR real CSS files in dev, works like mini-css in non-dev ### Pure CSS, CSS modules and PostCSS When you have pure CSS (without CSS modules), CSS modules and PostCSS in your project you can use this setup: **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { // For pure CSS - /\.css$/i, // For Sass/SCSS - /\.((c|sa|sc)ss)$/i, // For Less - /\.((c|le)ss)$/i, test: /\.((c|sa|sc)ss)$/i, use: [ "style-loader", { loader: "css-loader", options: { // Run `postcss-loader` on each CSS `@import` and CSS modules/ICSS imports, do not forget that `sass-loader` compile non CSS `@import`'s into a single file // If you need run `sass-loader` and `postcss-loader` on each CSS `@import` please set it to `2` importLoaders: 1, }, }, { loader: "postcss-loader", options: { plugins: () => [postcssPresetEnv({ stage: 0 })] }, }, // Can be `less-loader` { loader: "sass-loader", }, ], }, // For webpack v5 { test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg|eot|ttf|woff|woff2)$/i, // More information here https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/ type: "asset", }, ], }, }; ``` ### 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$/i, use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"], }, ], }, resolve: { alias: { "/assets/unresolved/img.png": path.resolve( __dirname, "assets/real-path-to-img/img.png", ), }, }, }; ``` ### Named export with custom export names **webpack.config.js** ```js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/i, loader: "css-loader", options: { modules: { namedExport: true, exportLocalsConvention: function (name) { return name.replace(/-/g, "_"); }, }, }, }, ], }, }; ``` ### 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 `mode` 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$/i, exclude: /\.module\.scss$/i, use: [ { loader: "style-loader", }, { loader: "css-loader", options: { importLoaders: 1, modules: { mode: "icss", }, }, }, { loader: "sass-loader", }, ], }, // -------- // SCSS MODULES { test: /\.module\.scss$/i, use: [ { loader: "style-loader", }, { loader: "css-loader", options: { importLoaders: 1, modules: { mode: "local", }, }, }, { 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 * as svars from "variables.scss"; import * as 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}`; ``` ## Contributing Please take a moment to read our contributing guidelines if you haven't yet done so.
