I haven't used SASS or SCSS in anything besides codepen before so apologies if this is a basic question, but my CSS was working fine, but I wanted to nest some tags, and when I setup the SCSS and SASS dependencies and changed my filename to .scss, all of my formatting went away. I read something somewhere about importing an scss file into the css file, but I'm not really sure how to accomplish that.
Here's a link to the code sandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/oj15rk1vw9
Use the Parcel Bundler template instead of the create-react-app template
Also if you're using react add react and react-dom as dependencies since the Parcel Bundler template only comes with parcel as a dev dependency

If you just change all instances of style.css to style.scss then it'll work

I am creating a project in react and needed bootstrap. But it is overriding my custom css. Some of default bootstrap changing my headings. I have tried everything like putting my css link below bootstrap and also importing it into my index.js file but nothing working. i have attached the picture of my project.
Try maybe using bootstrap as a dependency:
npm i bootstrap
and import in index.js:
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
or even try a react-bootstrap dependency
npm i react-bootstrap
Bootstrap is written with !important rules, so they has the highest priority if given!
Maybe you can try inline css in React elements (although not recomended in a simple HTML)
All the best!
As you haven't added any codes example or link of your live project, please check if CSS file has been linked properly. Go to page source and click on styles.css. It should open all your codes inside CSS file. If you can't open this file, or there's nothing found, you should check CSS file linking once again.
But if you can see css file properly but still not working, as a final option, you can use "!important" in CSS class. It will work fine.
Install bootstrap as npm package using npm i bootstrap. Then place your styles.css in the src folder and import styles.css in your App.jsx.
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import './styles.css'
Or you can even try using !important. This will definitely work but you will need to to it every time you want to override a style.
As mentioned, bootstrap adds !important to seemingly everything. In order to remove all of them you'll need to install the npm package instead of linking to a CDN (like you're currently doing). So:
npm install bootstrap or yarn add bootstrap
Then create an app.scss (naming is arbitrary here) and add the following lines
$enable-important-utilities: false; //this disables !important
#import "../../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
Then, import that app.scss file into your index.js file:
import './app.scss'
The next time your run npm start (or whatever command you're using) it should generate a new css file to use. You may need to install sass if your project isn't already using it. But, that's beyond the scope of this answer.
While webpack seems to support a wide variety of detailed configuration options, I only want to accomplish the simple task of taking a single css source file located at project/frontend/static/css/style.css and outputting a minified version of that css file to project/frontend/static/css/style.min.css. I can't seem to find anything in the documentation of webpack that discusses this, as I am not importing my CSS from JS, just linking it in the HTML head the old fashioned way, so all I want to output is a plain CSS file, just minified.
With webpack you may like to use mini-css-extract-plugin
npm install --save-dev mini-css-extract-plugin
This plugin extracts CSS into separate files. It creates a CSS file per JS file which contains CSS. It supports On-Demand-Loading of CSS and SourceMaps.
It builds on top of a new webpack v4 feature (module types) and requires webpack 4 to work.
Please look at the documentation for more info

I have a web application that uses Bootstrap 3. I'm using webpack, so I npm installeded bootstrap, and I'm referencing it like so:
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';
This works well. But now I want to use a different bootstrap theme (Slate), that only changes the css file.
I can think of two options of doing this.
Replace bootstrap.css inside the node_modules directory. Since node_modules is not a part of our source repo, we will need to do this repeatedly. This is clearly not a good option.
Don't use npm for bootstrap at all - put all the bootstrap files in a folder and reference that instead. This will work, but we won't get updates if a new version of Bootstrap is released.
Is there a way to reference bootstrap.css from one place, and all the other bootstrap files from another place? Can webpack do that?
I'm trying to make a jekyll blog using foundation and sass, and I just can't seem to get the foundation sass to compile correctly. When I build jekyll, there are no errors, and the partial I wrote seems to load correctly, and foundation seems to import, but only the comments at the top.
My process so far was basically to run
npm install foundation-sites --save
move the foundation sass stuff out of the node_modules folder, and then include foundation in my scss file.
You can see the directory and the css file that is output in the following screenshots.
I'm kind of not sure what else I can try at this point any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Edit: Here is a link to the branch and repo for this to see the code. https://github.com/samuraiseoul/kimchiChingu/tree/23-sass
Hmm.. it seems like all the partials imported in foundation.scss are just sass functions, mixins and variables. So there's no actual css output.
Alright so I figured it out. The problem is that I had to either include the foundation-everything mixin in my sass file or the specific modules I wanted.
just using #import 'foundation'; wasn't good enough, I had to also put #include foundation-everything; or list each component I wanted in case I didn't want everything.
I had similar issue even after adding
#include foundation-everything($flex: false);
I figured it out after updating my gulp-sass module.
Preface: I can't use webpack. It breaks too much of my AWS stuff and I'm too frustrated finding ever more problems. I wish I could use the convenience of webpack but I stopped using it and AWS now works. Now its all watchify and babel.
Can I use CSS/Sass without using Webpack (as mentioned) or import CSS Modules, PostCSS etc?
Issue: I can link a css file, pass in the classes to my component and it all renders out proper div / class syntax, but (I assume) the virtual DOM just doesnt load it. How can I get around this?
[Edited as I got a down-vote, just to be safe.]
You can just run gulp, and gulp-sass. That compiles a .css file and you can just manually include that file in the <head> of your file. Try there are dozens of tutorials on Google like this one
