Thank you Webpacker, Goodbye Webpacker
Webpacker also includes webpack-dev-server, so we made it work as well. Since I had Simpacker installed, I only had to change the devServer part in webpack.config.js to make it work with npm scripts.

Building a web application with Rust and WebAssembly
This shouldn't be the case, at least not if you're doing it "properly". For dev builds, sure, but for production, it's better to use something like mini-css-extract-plugin to extract the bundled CSS into separate files. Then for files in your main entrypoint, the CSS will be loaded via tags, and files loaded via code-splitting, the tags will be added to the DOM dynamically.
