I've been trying to use sass-loader on webpack v4, but it fails to load scss files in a React component with TypeScript.

Here is a simplified snippet of the code.

//index.tsx

import * as React from 'react';
import './styles.scss';

const Navigation = () => {
    return (<div className="app-bar"></div>)
}


//styles.scss
.app-bar { 
    background-color: #2196f3;
}

The following code is from my webpack config.

module: {
    rules: [
    //loaders for jsx, tsx etc
    {
        test: /\.(css|scss)$/,
        use: [
            { loader: 'style-loader' },
            {
                loader: 'css-loader',
                options: {
                    modules: true
                }
            },
            { loader: 'sass-loader' }
        ]
    }]
},
plugins: [
    new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
        filename: "[name].css",
        chunkFilename: "[id].css"
    }),
    new CleanWebpackPlugin(),
]

I followed the official doc's example, but it fails to load the styles.scss.

Just in case, I re-installed style-loader, css-loader, sass-loader (and node-sass), but it didn't solve the error.

The error message is ...

Module build failed (from ./node_modules/sass-loader/lib/loader.js):

I'm running webpack via Laravel Mix, but don't know if Laravel has anything to do with it.

What caused this issue? Any advice will be appreciated.

You dont need to put css in the test section because the sass-loader and css-loader will take care for you and it will transform your scss to css file

Below is my config

{
                test: /\.scss$/,
                use: [
                    //'style-loader' was the culprit, so I just needed to remove it
                    MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
                    {
                        loader: "css-loader",
                        options: {
                            minimize: true,
                            sourceMap: true
                        }
                    },
                    {
                        loader: "sass-loader"
                    }
                ]

I seem to remember having the same issues with webpack. I switched from SASS to Styled Components, it's a css-in-js library. I was wary at first but it's great.

https://www.styled-components.com/

It allows you to change CSS styles programmatically using React props. For example if I want to change the opacity of a menu when a button is clicked I can do it like this:

opacity: ${props => (props.menuOpen ? 1 : 0)};

That’s just one benefit, check the docs to see others. I find using React with styled-components is a great way to work. You have your JS, CSS and HTML all being generated in one place.
