Currently, I am using webpack for developing a React app with a NodeJS backend.
I've encountered an issue with styling the app as webpack seems to be interfering with my CSS, causing changes in class names.
For example, in my base.css file, I have defined the following styles:
body {
background: #ECEFF1;
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 15px;
line-height: 1.7;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 30px;
max-width: 980px;
}
.progress {
background-color: #FFECB3;
}
.progress .indeterminate {
background-color: #FFC107;
}
However, when I inspect the page and check the head section, the classes are transformed into something like this:
<style type="text/css">
body {
background: #ECEFF1;
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 15px;
line-height: 1.7;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 30px;
max-width: 980px;
}
.base---progress---1RR8Z {
background-color: #FFECB3;
}
.base---progress---1RR8Z .base---indeterminate---23sZH {
background-color: #FFC107;
}
This transformation is causing issues with applying the progress styles correctly on the page. How can I prevent this or make React handle the class names appropriately?
If I remove the following from my webpack configuration:
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: 'style!css?modules&localIdentName=[name]---[local]---[hash:base64:5]'
}
An error occurs mentioning it cannot find the CSS file, even though the specified path is correct.
Providing the webpack configuration for reference:
'use strict';
var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
devtool: 'eval-source-map',
entry: [
'webpack-hot-middleware/client?reload=true',
path.join(__dirname, 'public/app/main.js')
],
output: {
path: path.join(__dirname, '/dist/'),
filename: '[name].js',
publicPath: '/'
},
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: 'public/app/index.html',
inject: 'body',
filename: 'index.html'
}),
new webpack.optimize.OccurrenceOrderPlugin(),
new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin(),
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('development')
})
],
module: {
loaders: [{
test: /\.jsx?$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: 'babel',
query: {
"presets": ["react", "es2015", "stage-0", "react-hmre"]
}
}, {
test: /\.json?$/,
loader: 'json'
}, {
test: /\.css$/,

}]
}
};
