How to import CSS via npm?

hey, try importing the css in your js file: import ‘uiCss/style.css’. bundlers like webpack should pick it up if properly configured- might need to check your loaders. hope that helps.

In my experience, the most reliable method was to import the CSS directly in the JavaScript entry point. This means that in your main file, you would add a line like import ‘uiCss/style.css’; which ensures that your bundler recognizes and processes the stylesheet. Ensure your bundler is configured correctly with the appropriate loaders (such as css-loader for webpack). This approach also helps avoid potential issues with path resolution, as the module resolution is handled by the bundler, leading to a more maintainable setup.

Based on my own experience working on a similar project, I found that creating an explicit import statement in my main JavaScript file worked best. I adjusted my file path to target the specific css file within the module. In my case, importing it as import ‘uiCss/dist/style.css’ allowed my bundler to process it correctly. Additionally, ensuring that my webpack configuration had the right setup for handling CSS files prevented any file resolution issues. This method not only offered better control but also made debugging the build process much more straightforward.

hey, i solved mine by using require(‘uiCss/style.css’) in my main js. makes my bundlr pick it up automatically. if things act weird, double-check your webpack config. works for me!
