Bundles of styles in a layout in Webpack
Now let's make Webpack automatically include the CSS bundle into the HTML layout of the site.
Let's import two CSS files to the entry point:
import './styles1.css';
import './styles2.css';
Let's set up the assembly of these files into one common bundle. First, let's perform all the necessary imports:
import path from 'path';
import MiniCssExtractPlugin from "mini-css-extract-plugin";
import HtmlWebpackPlugin from 'html-webpack-plugin';
Now let's make the settings:
export default {
context: path.resolve( 'src'),
entry: './index.js',
output: {
filename: 'build.[contenthash].js',
path: path.resolve('dist'),
},
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
filename: 'build.[contenthash].css'
}),
new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
],
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
use: [MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader, 'css-loader'],
},
],
},
};
As a result, after the build we will have a bundle with scripts and a bundle with styles connected:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Webpack App</title>
<script defer src="build.4173b379c6d6ff439604.js"></script>
<link href="build.97299e5ee87c9c343a4c.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Include three CSS files to the entry point. Make them gather into a common bundle. Check that this bundle is automatically included in the layout file.
