    @fbem/css-loader is very similar to css-loader (and actually a fork of it) and has almost the same set of options and functionality. You can even use it with different style preprocessors by simply chaining loaders together in webpack config. But be sure to pick up if you need them 😏.
  • React SSR loading CSS on express server problems.

    Css files need a css loader like https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader. In fact I see you already have 2 css loaders in your normal webpack config. the server config needs those too. Your fronted build and server build will be very similar in that regard.
  • Vue devs, what can React do better than Vue 3?
    7 projects | /r/vuejs | 26 May 2022
    React comes by default with css module support via https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader, which is stable and not deprecated. (Note that this entirely independent of react)

    One possible non-JSS solution is css-modules supported in css-loader. That requires some setup which may get convoluted if you need CSS preprocessors or SSR.

    Before we start, you should have a minimum knowledge of webpack, you should have css-loader. Along this article, I use nuxt for example, but you can use React or Angular.

    The above should work in Create React App out of the box. If you are rolling your own Webpack configuration (may God have mercy on your soul), you'll need to configure modules with a compileType of icss:
