scss-config-webpack-plugin

Creating a webpack loader configurations can be quite time consuming.
The scss-config-webpack-plugin is part of the common-config-webpack-plugin suite which tries to provide best practices for the most common loader requirements.

If no mode is explicitly set for the plugin the configuration will adjust depending on your webpack mode setting. The injected configurations are based on create-react-app css part

Installation

npm i --save-dev scss-config-webpack-plugin

Webpack Config

In most projects you will need to set up project specific options but you can still use all or some common-config-webpack-plugin parts.

const ScssConfigWebpackPlugin = require('scss-config-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
  plugins: [new ScssConfigWebpackPlugin()],
};

Output filename

Webpack allows to configure the output file name for javascript files with output.filename. By default the ScssConfigWebpackPlugin will reuse this option but will replace .js to .css and /js/ to /css/.

const ScssConfigWebpackPlugin = require('scss-config-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
  output: {
    filename: 'js/app.js',
  },
  plugins: [
    new ScssConfigWebpackPlugin(), // Generates a new file called css/app.css
  ],
};

If this behaviour doesn't fit your needs you can set a different name using the filename option:

const ScssConfigWebpackPlugin = require('scss-config-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new ScssConfigWebpackPlugin({
      filename: 'css/main.min.css',
    }),
  ],
};

css modules

Just as create-react-app the scss-config-webpack-plugin supports CSS Modules with the extension .module.css or .module.scss.
