ag-grid is proud to partner with webpack

stylus-loader

A Stylus loader for webpack. Compiles Styl to CSS.

Getting Started

To begin, you'll need to install stylus and stylus-loader:

$ npm install stylus stylus-loader --save-dev

Then add the loader to your webpack config. For example:

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl$/,
        loader: 'stylus-loader', // compiles Styl to CSS
      },
    ],
  },
};

And run webpack via your preferred method.

Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
Name Type Default Description `stylusOptions` `{Object\\|Function}`	`{Object\\|Function}`	`{}`	Options for Stylus.
Name Type Default Description `sourceMap` `{Boolean}`	`{Boolean}`	`compiler.devtool`	Enables/Disables generation of source maps.
Name Type Default Description `webpackImporter` `{Boolean}`	`{Boolean}`	`true`	Enables/Disables the default Webpack importer.
Name Type Default Description `additionalData` `{String\\|Function}`	`{String\\|Function}`	`undefined`	Prepends/Appends `Stylus` code to the actual entry file.

`stylusOptions`

Type: Object|Function Default: {}

You can pass any Stylus specific options to the stylus-loader through the stylusOptions property in the loader options. See the Stylus documentation. Options in dash-case should use camelCase.

`Object`

Use an object to pass options through to Stylus.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl$/,
        use: [

          },
          {
            loader: 'css-loader',
          },
          {
            loader: 'stylus-loader',

  },
};

`Function`

Allows setting the options passed through to Stylus based off of the loader context.

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl/,
        use: [
          'style-loader',
          'css-loader',
          {
            loader: 'stylus-loader',
            options: {
              stylusOptions: (loaderContext) => {
                // More information about available properties https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/
                const { resourcePath, rootContext } = loaderContext;
                const relativePath = path.relative(rootContext, resourcePath);

                if (relativePath === 'styles/foo.styl') {
                  return {
                    paths: ['absolute/path/c', 'absolute/path/d'],
                  };
                }

                return {
                  paths: ['absolute/path/a', 'absolute/path/b'],
                };
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

`sourceMap`

Type: Boolean

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl$/i,
        use: [
          'style-loader',
          {
            loader: 'css-loader',
            options: {
              sourceMap: true,
            },
          },
          {
            loader: 'stylus-loader',
            options: {
              sourceMap: true,
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

`webpackImporter`

Type: Boolean Default: true

Enables/Disables the default Webpack importer.

This can improve performance in some cases. Use it with caution because aliases and @import at-rules starting with ~ will not work.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl/i,
        use: [
          'style-loader',
          'css-loader',
          {
            loader: 'stylus-loader',
            options: {
              webpackImporter: false,
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

`additionalData`

Type: String|Function Default: undefined

Prepends Stylus code before the actual entry file. In this case, the stylus-loader will not override the source but just prepend the entry's content.

This is especially useful when some of your Stylus variables depend on the environment:

ℹ Since you're injecting code, this will break the source mappings in your entry file. Often there's a simpler solution than this, like multiple Stylus entry files.

`String`

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl/,
        use: [
          'style-loader',
          'css-loader',
          {
            loader: 'stylus-loader',
            options: {
              additionalData: `@env: ${process.env.NODE_ENV};`,
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

`Function`

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl/,
        use: [
          'style-loader',
          'css-loader',
          {
            loader: 'stylus-loader',
            options: {
              additionalData: (content, loaderContext) => {
                // More information about available properties https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/
                const { resourcePath, rootContext } = loaderContext;
                const relativePath = path.relative(rootContext, resourcePath);

                if (relativePath === 'styles/foo.styl') {
                  return 'value = 100px' + content;
                }

                return 'value 200px' + content;
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Examples

Normal usage

Chain the stylus-loader with the [css-loader](/loaders/css-loader and the [style-loader](/loaders/style-loader to immediately apply all styles to the DOM.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'style-loader', // creates style nodes from JS strings
          },
          {
            loader: 'css-loader', // translates CSS into CommonJS
          },
          {
            loader: 'stylus-loader', // compiles Stylus to CSS
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Source maps

To enable sourcemaps for CSS, you'll need to pass the sourceMap property in the loader's options. If this is not passed, the loader will respect the setting for webpack source maps, set in devtool.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  devtool: 'source-map', // any "source-map"-like devtool is possible
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl$/,
        use: [
          'style-loader',
          {
            loader: 'css-loader',
            options: {
              sourceMap: true,
            },
          },
          {
            loader: 'stylus-loader',
            options: {
              sourceMap: true,
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Using nib with stylus

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'style-loader', // creates style nodes from JS strings
          },
          {
            loader: 'css-loader', // translates CSS into CommonJS
          },
          {
            loader: 'stylus-loader', // compiles Stylus to CSS
            options: {
              stylusOptions: {
                use: [require('nib')()],
                import: ['nib'],
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Import JSON files

Stylus does not provide resolving capabilities in the json function. Therefore webpack resolver does not work for .json files. Use stylus resolver.

index.styl

// Suppose the file is located here `node_modules/vars/vars.json`
json('vars.json')

@media queries-small
  body
    display nope

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl$/,
        use: [
          'style-loader',
          'css-loader',
          {
            loader: 'stylus-loader',
            options: {
              stylusOptions: {
                // Specify the path. where to find files
                paths: ['node_modules/vars'],
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

In production

Usually, it's recommended to extract the style sheets into a dedicated file in production using the [MiniCssExtractPlugin](/plugins/mini-css-extract-plugin. This way your styles are not dependent on JavaScript.

webpack resolver

Webpack provides an advanced mechanism to resolve files. The stylus-loader applies the webpack resolver when processing queries. Thus you can import your Stylus modules from node_modules. Just prepend them with a ~ which tells webpack to look up the modules.

@import '~bootstrap-styl/bootstrap/index.styl';

It's important to only prepend it with ~, because ~/ resolves to the home-directory. Webpack needs to distinguish between bootstrap and ~bootstrap, because CSS and Styl files have no special syntax for importing relative files. Writing @import "file" is the same as @import "./file";

Stylus resolver

If you specify the paths option, modules will be searched in the given paths. This is Stylus default behavior.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.styl/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'style-loader',
          },
          {
            loader: 'css-loader',
          },
          {
            loader: 'stylus-loader',
            options: {
              stylusOptions: {
                paths: [path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules')],
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Extracting style sheets

Bundling CSS with webpack has some nice advantages like referencing images and fonts with hashed urls or hot module replacement in development. In production, on the other hand, it's not a good idea to apply your style sheets depending on JS execution. Rendering may be delayed or even a FOUC might be visible. Thus it's often still better to have them as separate files in your final production build.

There are two possibilities to extract a style sheet from the bundle:

extract-loader (simpler, but specialized on the css-loader's output)
[MiniCssExtractPlugin](/plugins/mini-css-extract-plugin (more complex, but works in all use-cases)
