ESLint is Now Language-Agnostic: Linting JSON, Markdown, and Beyond
ESLint has added JSON and Markdown linting support with new officially-supported plugins, expanding its versatility beyond JavaScript.
dxm-mini-css-extract-plugin
Advanced tools
This plugin extracts CSS into separate files. It creates a CSS file per JS file which contains CSS. It supports On-Demand-Loading of CSS and SourceMaps.
It builds on top of a new webpack v4 feature (module types) and requires webpack 4 to work.
Compared to the extract-text-webpack-plugin:
TODO:
npm install --save-dev mini-css-extract-plugin
webpack.config.js
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
// Options similar to the same options in webpackOptions.output
// both options are optional
filename: "[name].css",
chunkFilename: "[id].css"
})
],
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: [
{
loader: MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
options: {
// you can specify a publicPath here
// by default it use publicPath in webpackOptions.output
publicPath: '../'
}
},
"css-loader"
]
}
]
}
}
This plugin should be used only on production
builds without style-loader
in the loaders chain, especially if you want to have HMR in development
.
Here is an example to have both HMR in development
and your styles extracted in a file for production
builds.
(Loaders options left out for clarity, adapt accordingly to your needs.)
webpack.config.js
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
const devMode = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
// Options similar to the same options in webpackOptions.output
// both options are optional
filename: devMode ? '[name].css' : '[name].[hash].css',
chunkFilename: devMode ? '[id].css' : '[id].[hash].css',
})
],
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.(sa|sc|c)ss$/,
use: [
devMode ? 'style-loader' : MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
'css-loader',
'postcss-loader',
'sass-loader',
],
}
]
}
}
While webpack 5 is likely to come with a CSS minimizer built-in, with webpack 4 you need to bring your own. To minify the output, use a plugin like optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin. Setting optimization.minimizer
overrides the defaults provided by webpack, so make sure to also specify a JS minimizer:
webpack.config.js
const UglifyJsPlugin = require("uglifyjs-webpack-plugin");
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
const OptimizeCSSAssetsPlugin = require("optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin");
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
cache: true,
parallel: true,
sourceMap: true // set to true if you want JS source maps
}),
new OptimizeCSSAssetsPlugin({})
]
},
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
filename: "[name].css",
chunkFilename: "[id].css"
})
],
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: [
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
"css-loader"
]
}
]
}
}
The runtime code detects already added CSS via <link>
or <style>
tag.
This can be useful when injecting CSS on server-side for Server-Side-Rendering.
The href
of the <link>
tag has to match the URL that will be used for loading the CSS chunk.
The data-href
attribute can be used for <link>
and <style>
too.
When inlining CSS data-href
must be used.
Similar to what extract-text-webpack-plugin does, the CSS
can be extracted in one CSS file using optimization.splitChunks.cacheGroups
.
webpack.config.js
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
module.exports = {
optimization: {
splitChunks: {
cacheGroups: {
styles: {
name: 'styles',
test: /\.css$/,
chunks: 'all',
enforce: true
}
}
}
},
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
filename: "[name].css",
})
],
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: [
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
"css-loader"
]
}
]
}
}
You may also extract the CSS based on the webpack entry name. This is especially useful if you import routes dynamically but want to keep your CSS bundled according to entry. This also prevents the CSS duplication issue one had with the ExtractTextPlugin.
const path = require('path');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
function recursiveIssuer(m) {
if (m.issuer) {
return recursiveIssuer(m.issuer);
} else if (m.name) {
return m.name;
} else {
return false;
}
}
module.exports = {
entry: {
foo: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/foo'),
bar: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/bar')
},
optimization: {
splitChunks: {
cacheGroups: {
fooStyles: {
name: 'foo',
test: (m,c,entry = 'foo') => m.constructor.name === 'CssModule' && recursiveIssuer(m) === entry,
chunks: 'all',
enforce: true
},
barStyles: {
name: 'bar',
test: (m,c,entry = 'bar') => m.constructor.name === 'CssModule' && recursiveIssuer(m) === entry,
chunks: 'all',
enforce: true
}
}
}
},
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
filename: "[name].css",
})
],
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: [
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
"css-loader"
]
}
]
}
}
For long term caching use filename: "[contenthash].css"
. Optionally add [name]
.
If you'd like to extract the media queries from the extracted CSS (so mobile users don't need to load desktop specific CSS anymore) you should use the media-query-plugin. It will take over the filename option of the mini-css-extract-plugin and recognize its generated CSS chunks.
