scss file not compiling in react

Question

The scss file in not compiling in reactjs even after having the required dev dependencies .I have used create-react-app to create the app. Here is the package.json file.

{
  "name": "mydecisionapp",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "css": "^2.2.1",
    "loader": "^2.1.1",
    "react": "^16.2.0",
    "react-dom": "^16.2.0",
    "react-modal": "^3.1.11",
    "react-scripts": "1.1.0",
    "style": "^0.0.3",
    "validator": "8.0.0"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "css-loader": "^0.28.9",
    "node-sass": "^4.7.2",
    "sass-loader": "^6.0.6",
    "style-loader": "^0.20.1",
    "webpack": "^3.10.0"
  }
}

Here is the package style.scss file .

$brand-color:blue;
* {
color: $brand-color;
}

I looked at all imports in index.js file and it is completely ok but still, I don't see scss compiling .

Answer 1

create-react-app is not configured by default to support scss files. Try reading this How to add SASS/SCSS to a create-react-app

Answer 2

Pls ensure that your version of react-scripts inside the the package.json file is at least 2.0.0.

This is stated at the top of the documentation that can be found here: https://create-react-app.dev/docs/adding-a-sass-stylesheet

Note: this feature is available with react-scripts@2.0.0 and higher.
