Mixed Style loader

The loader that should not even exist. But who doesn't like to nurse a bunch of legacy code.

what it does

It consumes css files with css @import statements and other css code. The magic is that those @import statements can go to any kind of css or css-precompiler file, as long as there is a proper loader existing and configured for it.

example

imagine you have 3 files a.css, b.sass, and c.scss and you need to load them in the order:

* `c.scss`
* `b.sass`
* `a.css`

so you create a file d.css which looks as follows:

    @import 'c.scss';
    @import 'b.sass';
    @import 'a.css';

then you will probably run into a couple of issues:

• css-loader will fail trying to interpret sass and scss
• sass-loader will hoist all *.css imports assuming you are too stupid to know where they belong
• …and so on

mixedstyle to the rescue!

assuming you still have your d.css file just add this to your loader:

    loaders: [
        {
            test: /\W?d\.css$/,
            loader: "mixedstyle"
        }
    ]

or probably you want to use it for the Extract-Text-Plugin, in that case do:

    loaders: [
        {
            test: /\W?d\.css$/,
            loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract("style-loader", "mixedstyle")
        }
    ]

or simply go for inline

    var x = require('mixedstyle!./d.css');

    //or
    var x = require('style!mixedstyle!./d.css');
