ReactJS - including other scss files in main.scss

Question

In my reactJS application - I am including all .scss files in one main.scss file - under styles folder in src folder. I have the following webpack configuration. tried including main.scss file directly in my main component - getting error at '@import' where I import other scss files. if i include separate scss file styles are fine - but how to get this working with one main.scss file and how to include it?

error: Unexpected token, expected ( (1:8)

Answer 1

You should import your .scss file via javascript in your top level React component.

import './styles/main.scss';

Webpack will then include it in your bundle.

For production you will want to use the Extract Text Plugin for webpack which will export a separate css file from the import statement.

Answer 2

Webpack operates on .js files. You need to convert your .scss into a .css file using the ExtractTextPlugin:

{test: /\.scss$/,
    use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
        fallback: "style-loader",
        use: [{
            loader: "css-loader" // translates CSS into CommonJS
        }, {
            loader: "sass-loader"
        }]
    })
}

Set your webpack entry point for this to the directory in which yourmain.scss file lives, then create an index.js in that directory with the following line:

require("./main.scss") (or import ./main.scss)

The path you include here: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./styles/main.scss"> should be the path to the generated .css file.

Answer 3

Below settings work for me.

webpack.config.js

{
    use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
      fallback: "style-loader",
      use: [
         'css-loader', //knows how to deal with css
         'autoprefixer-loader?browsers=last 3 versions',
         'sass-loader?outputStyle=expanded' //this one is applied first.
      ]
    }),
    test: /\.scss$/,
    exclude: /node_modules/
  }

in the top index.js

import "./styles/main.scss";
import "./reactApp";

example of main.scss

// Import any of your custom variables for bootstrap here first.
@import "my-theme/custom";
// Then, import bootstrap scss
@import "~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";  
//for bootstrap 3 using bootstrap-sass
$icon-font-path: '~bootstrap-sass/assets/fonts/bootstrap/';
@import '~bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/_bootstrap.scss';
// Finally import any custom styles.
@import "my-theme/master-theme";

Answer 4

I would just import them the way you are doing and dont reuse id or class names unless you want the styles to be the same so:

import '../styles/main1.scss';
import '../styles/main2.scss';
....

Like that and so on
