How to avoid duplicate sass imports(using @use) on Webpack

My sass modules can import each other like below.

// LinearLayout.scss
@mixin LinearLayout { ... }
linear-layout { @include LinearLayout; }

// ScrollView.scss
@use "LinearLayout" as *;
@mixin ScrollView {
    @include LinearLayout;
    ...
}
scroll-view { @include ScrollView; }

And because each sass module ends up in the bundled css file by being imported in scripts, the bundled css file contains duplicate css selectors.

How can I remove the duplicates?

sass-loader webpack typescript sass import

Common requirement under both Webpack versions

I haven't dug about this, but it seems both plugins work in a specific webpack bundling lifecycle which is made by mini-css-extract-plugin. So you can't use style-loader, and the thing that was done by it can be done by html-webpack-plugin.

The below is how your webpack.config.ts should be like. Note that you set optimization.minimize as true to make it run also in development.

import type Webpack from "webpack";
import HtmlBundler from "html-webpack-plugin";
import CssExtractor from "mini-css-extract-plugin";

// webpack@5
import CssMinimizer from "css-minimizer-webpack-plugin";
// under webpack@5
import CssMinimizer from "optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin";

const config: Webpack.Configuration = {
    ...
    plugins: [
        new HtmlBundler({
            template: "yourHtmlTemplate.html"
        });
        new CssExtractor({
            filename: "outputCssFilename.css",
        }),
    ],
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: /\.s[ac]ss$/,
                use: [
                    CssExtractor.loader,
                    "css-loader",
                    "resolve-url-loader",
                    "sass-loader",
                ]
            },
        ],
    },
    optimization: {
        minimize: true, // set true to run minimizers also in development
        minimizer: [
            new CssMinimizer(),
        ],
    },
};

export default config;
