# stylus-loader

A Stylus loader for webpack. Compiles Styl to CSS.

## Getting Started

To begin, you'll need to install `stylus` and `stylus-loader`:

```console
npm install stylus stylus-loader --save-dev
```

or

```console
yarn add -D stylus stylus-loader
```

or

```console
pnpm add -D stylus stylus-loader
```

Then add the loader to your `webpack` config. For example:

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl$/,
loader: "stylus-loader", // compiles Styl to CSS
},
],
},
};
```

And run `webpack` via your preferred method.

## Options

- **[`stylusOptions`](#stylusOptions)**
- **[`sourceMap`](#sourcemap)**
- **[`webpackImporter`](#webpackimporter)**
- **[`additionalData`](#additionalData)**
- **[`implementation`](#implementation)**

### `stylusOptions`

Type:

```ts
type stylusOptions =
| {
use: Array;
include: Array;
import: Array;
define: Array;
includeCSS: false;
resolveURL: boolean | Object;
lineNumbers: boolean;
hoistAtrules: boolean;
compress: boolean;
}
| (loaderContext: LoaderContext) => Array;
```

Default: `{}`

You can pass any Stylus specific options to the `stylus-loader` through the `stylusOptions` property in the [loader options](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/module/#rule-options-rule-query).
See the [Stylus documentation](https://stylus-lang.com/docs/js.html).
Options in dash-case should use camelCase.

#### `object`

Use an object to pass options through to Stylus.

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl$/,
use: [
{
loader: "style-loader",
},
{
loader: "css-loader",
},
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
stylusOptions: {
/**
* Specify Stylus plugins to use. Plugins may be passed as
* strings instead of importing them in your Webpack config.
*
* @type {(string|Function)[]}
* @default []
*/
use: ["nib"],

/**
* Add path(s) to the import lookup paths.
*
* @type {string[]}
* @default []
*/
include: [path.join(__dirname, "src/styl/config")],

/**
* Import the specified Stylus files/paths.
*
* @type {string[]}
* @default []
*/
import: ["nib", path.join(__dirname, "src/styl/mixins")],

/**
* Define Stylus variables or functions.
*
* @type {Array|Object}
* @default {}
*/
// Array is the recommended syntax: [key, value, raw]
define: [
["$development", process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"],
["rawVar", 42, true],
],
// Object is deprecated syntax (there is no possibility to specify "raw')
// define: {
// $development: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',
// rawVar: 42,
// },

/**
* Include regular CSS on @import.
*
* @type {boolean}
* @default false
*/
includeCSS: false,

/**
* Resolve relative url()'s inside imported files.
*
* @see https://stylus-lang.com/docs/js.html#stylusresolveroptions
*
* @type {boolean|Object}
* @default { nocheck: true }
*/
resolveURL: true,
// resolveURL: { nocheck: true },

/**
* Emits comments in the generated CSS indicating the corresponding Stylus line.
*
* @see https://stylus-lang.com/docs/executable.html
*
* @type {boolean}
* @default false
*/
lineNumbers: true,

/**
* Move @import and @charset to the top.
*
* @see https://stylus-lang.com/docs/executable.html
*
* @type {boolean}
* @default false
*/
hoistAtrules: true,

/**
* Compress CSS output.
* In the "production" mode is `true` by default
*
* @see https://stylus-lang.com/docs/executable.html
*
* @type {boolean}
* @default false
*/
compress: true,
},
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

#### `function`

Allows setting the options passed through to Stylus based off of the loader context.

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl/,
use: [
"style-loader",
"css-loader",
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
stylusOptions: (loaderContext) => {
// More information about available properties https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/
const { resourcePath, rootContext } = loaderContext;
const relativePath = path.relative(rootContext, resourcePath);

if (relativePath === "styles/foo.styl") {
return {
paths: ["absolute/path/c", "absolute/path/d"],
};
}

return {
paths: ["absolute/path/a", "absolute/path/b"],
};
},
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

### `sourceMap`

Type:

```ts
type sourceMap = boolean;
```

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl$/i,
use: [
"style-loader",
{
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
sourceMap: true,
},
},
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
sourceMap: true,
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

### `webpackImporter`

Type:

```ts
type webpackImporter = boolean;
```

Default: `true`

Enables/Disables the default Webpack importer.

This can improve performance in some cases.
Use it with caution because aliases and `@import` at-rules starting with `~` will not work.

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl/i,
use: [
"style-loader",
"css-loader",
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
webpackImporter: false,
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

### `additionalData`

Type:

```ts
type additionalData =
| string
| (
content: string | Buffer,
loaderContext: LoaderContext,
meta: any
) => string;
```

Default: `undefined`

Prepends `Stylus` code before the actual entry file.
In this case, the `stylus-loader` will not override the source but just **prepend** the entry's content.

This is especially useful when some of your Stylus variables depend on the environment:

> [!NOTE]
>
> Since you're injecting code, this will break the source mappings in your entry file. Often there's a simpler solution than this, like multiple Stylus entry files.

#### `string`

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl/,
use: [
"style-loader",
"css-loader",
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
additionalData: `@env: ${process.env.NODE_ENV};`,
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

#### `function`

##### Sync

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl/,
use: [
"style-loader",
"css-loader",
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
additionalData: (content, loaderContext) => {
// More information about available properties https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/
const { resourcePath, rootContext } = loaderContext;
const relativePath = path.relative(rootContext, resourcePath);

if (relativePath === "styles/foo.styl") {
return "value = 100px" + content;
}

return "value 200px" + content;
},
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

##### Async

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl/,
use: [
"style-loader",
"css-loader",
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
additionalData: async (content, loaderContext) => {
// More information about available properties https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/
const { resourcePath, rootContext } = loaderContext;
const relativePath = path.relative(rootContext, resourcePath);

if (relativePath === "styles/foo.styl") {
return "value = 100px" + content;
}

return "value 200px" + content;
},
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

### `implementation`

Type:

```ts
type implementation = Function | string;
```

The special `implementation` option determines which implementation of Stylus to use. Overrides the locally installed `peerDependency` version of `stylus`.

#### `function`

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl/i,
use: [
"style-loader",
"css-loader",
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
implementation: require("stylus"),
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

#### `string`

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl/i,
use: [
"style-loader",
"css-loader",
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
implementation: require.resolve("stylus"),
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

## Examples

### Normal usage

Chain the `stylus-loader` with the [`css-loader`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader) and the [`style-loader`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/style-loader) to immediately apply all styles to the DOM.

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl$/,
use: [
{
loader: "style-loader", // creates style nodes from JS strings
},
{
loader: "css-loader", // translates CSS into CommonJS
},
{
loader: "stylus-loader", // compiles Stylus to CSS
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

### Source maps

To enable sourcemaps for CSS, you'll need to pass the `sourceMap` property in the loader's options. If this is not passed, the loader will respect the setting for webpack source maps, set in `devtool`.

**webpack.config.js**

```javascript
module.exports = {
devtool: "source-map", // any "source-map"-like devtool is possible
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl$/,
use: [
"style-loader",
{
loader: "css-loader",
options: {
sourceMap: true,
},
},
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
sourceMap: true,
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

### Using nib with stylus

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl$/,
use: [
{
loader: "style-loader", // creates style nodes from JS strings
},
{
loader: "css-loader", // translates CSS into CommonJS
},
{
loader: "stylus-loader", // compiles Stylus to CSS
options: {
stylusOptions: {
use: [require("nib")()],
import: ["nib"],
},
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

### Import JSON files

Stylus does not provide resolving capabilities in the `json` function.
Therefore webpack resolver does not work for `.json` files.
Use [`stylus resolver`](#stylus-resolver).

**index.styl**

```styl
// Suppose the file is located here `node_modules/vars/vars.json`
json('vars.json')

@media queries-small
body
display nope

```

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl$/,
use: [
"style-loader",
"css-loader",
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
stylusOptions: {
// Specify the path. where to find files
paths: ["node_modules/vars"],
},
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

### In production

Usually, it's recommended to extract the style sheets into a dedicated file in production using the [MiniCssExtractPlugin](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/mini-css-extract-plugin). This way your styles are not dependent on JavaScript.

### webpack resolver

Webpack provides an [advanced mechanism to resolve files](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/resolve/).
The `stylus-loader` applies the webpack resolver when processing queries.
Thus you can import your Stylus modules from `node_modules`.

```styl
@import 'bootstrap-styl/bootstrap/index.styl';
```

Using `~` is deprecated and can be removed from your code (**we recommend it**), but we still support it for historical reasons.
Why you can removed it? The loader will first try to resolve `@import`/`@require` as relative, if it cannot be resolved, the loader will try to resolve `@import`/`@require` inside [`node_modules`](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/resolve/#resolve-modules).
Just prepend them with a `~` which tells webpack to look up the [`modules`](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/resolve/#resolve-modules).

```styl
@import "~bootstrap-styl/bootstrap/index.styl";
```

It's important to only prepend it with `~`, because `~/` resolves to the home-directory.
Webpack needs to distinguish between `bootstrap` and `~bootstrap`, because CSS and Styl files have no special syntax for importing relative files.
Writing `@import "file"` is the same as `@import "./file";`

### Stylus resolver

If you specify the `paths` option, modules will be searched in the given `paths`.
This is Stylus default behavior.

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.styl/,
use: [
{
loader: "style-loader",
},
{
loader: "css-loader",
},
{
loader: "stylus-loader",
options: {
stylusOptions: {
paths: [path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules")],
},
},
},
],
},
],
},
};
```

### Extracting style sheets

Bundling CSS with webpack has some nice advantages like referencing images and fonts with hashed urls or [hot module replacement](https://webpack.js.org/concepts/hot-module-replacement/) in development. In production, on the other hand, it's not a good idea to apply your style sheets depending on JS execution. Rendering may be delayed or even a [FOUC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_of_unstyled_content) might be visible. Thus it's often still better to have them as separate files in your final production build.

There are two possibilities to extract a style sheet from the bundle:

- [`extract-loader`](https://github.com/peerigon/extract-loader) (simpler, but specialized on the css-loader's output)
- [MiniCssExtractPlugin](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/mini-css-extract-plugin) (more complex, but works in all use-cases)
