Webpack defines the right loaders to support CSS.
To use it, add import "myfile.scss"
in your Webpack imported file.
When setting hot: true
in your crafty.config.js
for your main JavaScript bundle, you can enable Hot Module Replacement.
With this, the CSS files imported in your Webpack bundles are automatically reloaded upon changes.
This is used inside crafty watch
, the build mode will not take it into account.
By default, the CSS will be embedded in your bundle, but you can provide the extractCSS
option to extract your styles using the MiniCssExtractPlugin
.
extractCSS
controls if the CSS should be embedded within the JavaScript bundle or extracted in a separate file.
By default, the default is that the CSS content remains within the main file.
