rollup-plugin-import-css

A Rollup plugin to import CSS into JavaScript

Usage

import css from "rollup-plugin-import-css";

export default {
    input: "index.js",
    output: { file: "dist/index.js", format: "esm" },
    plugins: [ css() ]
};

This plugins supports three forms of importing css.

import "./styles.css"; /* extract the styles to a external css bundle */
import styles from "./styles.css"; /* import the styles as a string */
import styles from "./styles.css" with { type: "css" }; /* import the styles as a CSSStyleSheet */

NOTICE: using import attributes requires Rollup v3+

If your build uses preserveModules, this plugin will process and output your css files while maintaining their original file structure.

This plugin respects the import order of your css files.

Why

With modern web frameworks, its useful to be able to import the css for components in a variety of ways. Other solutions for Rollup either lack features or are large and bloated with extra features that some users may not need such as SASS or LESS support. This plugin is small and by default only supports standard css with the option to process it further. Unlike most other css plugins this plugin maintains the order of your imports in order to avoid overwritting css unexpectedly and respects Rollup's preserveModules option.
