I want to be able to use import in my react application for not only js/jsx files but also for css files. From what I've read, the best way to do that is to use the extract-text-webpack-plugin which will take your imported css files and bundle them together.
I've set it up so that its generating my bundled css file, but for some reason every time I load my page I get a syntax error:
SyntaxError: MyWebpage/views/global.css: Unexpected token, expected ; (1:5)
> 1 | body {
| ^
2 | margin: 0;
3 | }
My setup looks like this:
webpack.config.js
const path = require('path');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
const config = {
entry: ['babel-polyfill', './views/Index.jsx'],
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'public'),
filename: 'bundle.js',
publicPath: '/public'
},
module: {
rules: [
{ test: /\.(jsx|js)$/, exclude: /node_modules/ , use: 'babel-loader' },
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
fallback: "style-loader",
use: "css-loader"
})
}
]
},
plugins: [
new ExtractTextPlugin("styles.css"),
]
};
module.exports = config;
The entry point ./views/Index.js is where I'm importing my css file:
Index.js
import React from 'react';
import Layout from './Layout.jsx';
import PageContent from './PageContent.jsx';
import './global.css';
class Index extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<Layout title={this.props.title}>
<PageContent />
</Layout>
);
}
}
export default Index;
Inside the imported ./Layout.jsx file I'm using a <link> to include the bundled css file in my page:
Layout.jsx
import React from 'react';
class Layout extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<html>
<head>
<title>{this.props.title}</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="root">
{this.props.children}
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
);
}
}
export default Layout;
I'm pretty confused because it seems like my app is building fine, but when I try to access my webpage I keep getting a syntax error.
Can anyone please help me understand what I'm doing wrong?
It seems problem with loaders below is example of webpack.config.js file working for jsx and css loaders :
