[Discussion] Use style field in package.json

[SimenB]

Like https://github.com/rotundasoftware/parcelify

E.g. I have @import url("~nanoscroller"); in my css. I expect that to use the style field in that package's package.json. Instead, that module's JS was included in my css.

Is there any talk on supporting this in Webpack?

[DataTables]

Would one of the authors of this package be willing to suggest how they would suggest go about approaching this? I'm willing to give it a ago, since as a library author myself, this will make my distribution documentation much easier.

One thing that I'm not clear on though is what is require('myModule')'s package.json contains both a main and a style property. My feeling is that it should pull in both the CSS and the JS...

Any updates on the thread?

[just-boris]

I can confirm. The feature is available at least since Webpack 3.5.1 with is currently used in Create-react-app.

[DataTables]

@just-boris - I don't see css-loader in the create-react-app dependencies. I'm trying to get it working and if they are using it, I might be able to follow along as an example.

@d3viant0ne - Could you possibly confirm why this was closed? Has it been implemented now - I don't see anything in the recent commits related to it, but I might just be missing it. Or was it closed as this feature not going to be implemented?
