Install the ones you need!

SASS npm i -D sass
LESS npm i -D less
STYLUS npm i -D stylus

CSS Modules

Server side rendering

A specific use case that this plugin covers is SSR. Using extract: false will not process css on server side but will keep css mapping for css modules.

PostCSS

The plugin is using PostCSS to handle css modules files. You can include any other plugins with the postcss option.

CSSNano

Do not use cssnano plugin. It won't work and if it did it minifies all files seperatly (slow not efficient). Just let esbuild minify and do his job.

Preprocessors import typings

If you want to be able to use import styles from 'styles.module.sass' without any errors Just add esbuild-style-plugin to your types in tsconfig.json
