I was tired of downloading js and css lib manually every time, then I jump into npm and webpack as I started a react project. But there are some awkwark:
Using npm install is fine, but I have to know where css/js/scss placed, they may be :
node_modules\materialize-css\sass\materialize.scss
node_modules\materialize-css\dist\js\materialize.min.js
node_modules\sweetalert\dist\sweetalert.min.js
node_modules\sweetalert\dist\sweetalert.css
node_modules\hint.css\hint.min.css
...
I still need found the correct path by myself, and add to index.html or import at index.js, like before , but it does reduce the time for searching lib's download link)
There are many js lib contain css file, but webpack is not so easy to add a lib with both css and js:
Such as webpack-import-bootstrap-js-and-css, have to add so much config code to make css import, why don't I just include the css at index.html? It just one line. However separate js,css import in different file make me feel uncomfortable too.
I hope there is a way like:
npm install --save sweetalert
add webpack config, something like(no need to know structure of a lib ):
...
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
swal: "sweetalert",
use_css: true, // false for someone need custom theme
use_js: true
}),
...
But I don't found a good way now.
You can provide path to the .css file. This works for me:
import swal from 'sweetalert'
import 'sweetalert/dist/sweetalert.css'

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.
My goal is to import scss-classes using dynamic classes.
I've seem several usages such as in Ambar opensource, and wish to do something similar in my project.
// App.js
import classes from './App.scss'
...
<div className={classes.App}/>
// App.scss
.App {
text-align: center;
}
The Problem is that those css changes won't occur, using dev-tools I can see that none of the classes are a part of the HTML.
Changing the className='App', will work.
I've used the command npm install node-sass -S for the SCSS installation process.
I've found module called sass-loader that handle the request, but after completing the steps on their guide - it still won't work.
This structure is called CSS Modules. If you use create-react-app, apply these steps.
1) First install node-sass module.
npm install node-sass
2) Save your SCSS file with .module.scss extension. For example:
App.module.scss
3) Import this file like this:
import classes from "./App.module.scss";
4) Now, you can apply your styles like this:
<div className={classes.App}>
I'm using Sage, a WordPress framework, and it lets you choose during creation some css frameworks, but I want to use Materialize CSS instead.
It uses Webpack to build and combine the .scss files into one. I did an npm install materialize-css so it's in my node_modules. In my project structure, I made an scss file that's used to import the module basically.
I also have bulma in this build, included via the original creation, so I can try to see how the structure is setup. It uses the following import statement:
#import "~bulma";
This works. I'm so confused about how this works. I think the ~ (tilde) tells Webpack something, but I don't know what. What I figured is that Webpacks checks the package.json file or something and finds it in the node_modules.
I've tried #import "~materialize-css"; with no luck.
Can someone explain what the heck Webpack is doing? Haha, because I can't find any documentation on this.
Here are the node_module folder structures, maybe this has something to do with it:
Perhaps the root of Bulma is bulma.sass yet for Materialize-CSS, there's no file, it's in sass/materialize.scss.
If needed, here's the github for the Sage framework, the webpack.config.js is in the build folder: https://github.com/roots/sage/tree/master/resources/assets
You have to specific the file you want to import also like this
#import "~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
#import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome";
#import "~toastr/toastr";
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 trying to import the .css from full-calendar package.
First, I created a new component my-calendar (html, scss, ts).
Then, I tried 3 different ways but only the last one worked for me:
Reference the file directly, as the documentation suggested, in the index.html (it does not work because the reference to node_modules is lost when you build the project)
<link href="node_modules/fullcalendar/dist/fullcalendar.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Adding #import "~fullcalendar/dist/fullcalendar.min.css"; in my-calendar.scss. If I am not wrong, this should add the style into main.css when the project is being built (is not working)
Create custom copy config (copy.config.js)
module.exports = {
...
copyFullCalendar: {
src: ['{{ROOT}}/node_modules/fullcalendar/dist/fullcalendar.min.css'],
dest: '{{BUILD}}'
}
}
and adding #import "fullcalendar.min.css"; into my-calendar.scss
UPDATE:
and adding #import "fullcalendar"; into my-calendar.scss
to avoid compiler errors when use ionic build --aot --minifycss --minifyjs
I would appreciate if someone could clarify the best way and explain if I misunderstood some concept.
PS: Remember that I am working with Ionic3 and I am not using the Angular CLI.
third method of yours will be the best way to implement , but it can be done in another way more like ionic.
You need to make use of the includePaths when configuring the custom path , as we are dealing with custom css, add sass.config.js to local project folder where we configure custom includePaths like this
includePaths: [
....
'node_modules/ap-angular2-fullcalendar'
],
In package.json scripts to include custom css configuration file, like this:
"scripts": {
.....
"ionic:serve": "ionic-app-scripts serve -s ./config/sass.config.js"
},
Only problem with this implementation is when you update ionic-app-scripts you have to compare the native sass.config.js file to the local file and check if there is anything changed.
This is a troublesome method and an issue was raised in Github but unfortunately they closed the issue with the following justification
Configs are extended, so only include the fields that you're changing.
Everything else will inherit the defaults.
As of #ionic/app-scripts : 3.2.0, it seems you'll still need to
#include FILE; somewhere
See this closed issue on app script's github
I found that as of
'Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.9.2'
you have two choices insert your import in src/theme/variables.scss or src/app/app.scss.
For example in variables.scss
/* some declarations here */
#import 'insrctest';/*file sits in src/test/insrctest.scss*/
And in my custom.config.js
includePaths: [
'node_modules/ionic-angular/themes',
'node_modules/ionicons/dist/scss',
'node_modules/ionic-angular/fonts',
'./src/test', /* when the import above gets called, node-sass will look in here */
