How to apply sass loaders correctly to apply styles

Question

I am working on a project where I am using several sass files and I am calling them into one single file, the problem is that when I try to apply the styles they don't show up. sass files . Now this is how i configured my webpack.config.js file

const path = require("path");

module.exports = {
  mode: "development",
  entry: "./src/index.js",
  output: {
    filename: "main.js",
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"),
    assetModuleFilename: "images/[hash][ext][query]",
  },

  devtool: "inline-source-map",
  devServer: {
    contentBase: "./dist",
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(s[ac]|c)ss$/i,
        use: [
          // Creates `style` nodes from JS strings
          "style-loader",
          // Translates CSS into CommonJS
          "css-loader",
          // Compiles Sass to CSS
          "sass-loader",
        ],
      },
      {
        test: /\.(png|svg|jpg|jpeg|gif)$/i,
        type: "asset/resource",
        generator: {
          filename: "static/[hash][ext][query]",
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

and this is the error i get

webpack 5.18.0 compiled with 1 error in 2816 ms

this is how I am importing the style to the project

import "../sass/main.scss";

I can't apply my styles to the project, I have been trying all day to fix this issue with no success, I would really appreciate if someone can please point me in the right direction.

Answer 1

Your Webpack config is correct. Error in your

$font-dancingScript: "Dancing Script", cursive;

adding ' must solve your problem;

$font-dancingScript: ' "Dancing Script", cursive ';

Config:

  {
    test: /\.css$/,
    use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"],
  },
  {
    test: /\.s[ac]ss$/i,
    use: ["style-loader","css-loader","sass-loader"],
  }
