Author message:

This package is no longer maintained because I'm not using it anymore, and it was very hacky to begin with, but it was a fun experiment.

gatsby-plugin-css-customs

Implements css-customs-loader in Gatsby.

Use CSS Modules!

Due to how Gatsby configures webpack rules for CSS in SSR stage, you have to put customs in a .module.css file, which uses CSS Modules. I could technically hack my way around this requirement, but it would be going against the grain and be unnecessarily fragile.

Configuration

Add the plugin to gatsby-config.js after gatsby-plugin-postcss and any other Gatsby plugins that modify CSS webpack rules:

yarn add gatsby-plugin-postcss gatsby-plugin-css-customs

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    'gatsby-plugin-postcss',
    // ...other CSS plugins
    'gatsby-plugin-css-customs',
  ],
}

gatsby-plugin-css-customs detects any valid PostCSS configuration (including options passed to gatsby-plugin-postcss!), so let's create one. importFrom will point to a global.module.css file containing our customs and, for the sake of this example, we'll enable all features related to CSS customs:

// postcss.config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    'postcss-preset-env': {
      importFrom: 'src/global.module.css',
      features: {
        'custom-properties': true, // already enabled by default
        'custom-media-queries': true,
        'custom-selectors': true,
      },
    },
  },
}

Usage

See usage instructions in the main readme, but use global.module.css instead of global.css.
