Install

``bash
yarn add --dev @griffel/webpack-extraction-plugin


or


npm install --save-dev @griffel/webpack-extraction-plugin
`

When to use it?

It's designed to be used only in applications.

How it works?

This plugin relies on assets transformed by @griffel/webpack-loader. Usage of these utilities is a prerequisite.

The plugin transforms code to remove generated CSS from JavaScript files and create CSS assets.

_Currently, all CSS rules will be extracted to a single CSS file i.e. code splitting for extracted CSS will not work._

Usage

Webpack documentation:

- Loaders
- Plugins

> Please configure @griffel/webpack-loader first.

Within your Webpack configuration object, you'll need to add the loader and the plugin from @griffel/webpack-extraction-plugin like so:

`js
const { GriffelCSSExtractionPlugin } = require('@griffel/webpack-extraction-plugin');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');

module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.(js|ts|tsx)$/,
// Apply "exclude" only if your dependencies do not use Griffel
// exclude: /node_modules/,
use: {
loader: GriffelCSSExtractionPlugin.loader,
},
},
// Add "@griffel/webpack-loader" if you use Griffel directly in your project
{
test: /\.(ts|tsx)$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
use: {
loader: '@griffel/webpack-loader',
},
},
// "css-loader" is required to handle produced CSS assets by Griffel
// you can use "MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader" to handle CSS insertion
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: [MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader, 'css-loader'],
},
],
},
plugins: [new MiniCssExtractPlugin(), new GriffelCSSExtractionPlugin()],
};
`

- mini-css-extract-plugin is not mandatory and configured there for example, you can use other tooling to inject CSS on a page

> ⚠️ style-loader does not produce necessary assets for the Griffel plugin to order CSS rules correctly. Using it to handle CSS insertion would result in partially broken styling in your app.

For better performance (to process less files) consider to use include for GriffelCSSExtractionPlugin.loader:

`js
const { GriffelCSSExtractionPlugin } = require('@griffel/webpack-extraction-plugin');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');

module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.(js|ts|tsx)$/,
include: [
path.resolve(__dirname, 'components'),
/\/node_modules\/@fluentui\/,
// see https://webpack.js.org/configuration/module/#condition
],
use: {
loader: GriffelCSSExtractionPlugin.loader,
},
},
],
},
};
`

If you use mini-css-extract-plugin, you may need to set it to false to remove warnings about conflicting order of CSS modules:

`
WARNING in chunk griffel [mini-css-extract-plugin]
Conflicting order. Following module has been added:
* css ./node_modules/css-loader/dist/cjs.js!./node_modules/@griffel/webpack-extraction-plugin/virtual-loader/index.js?style=%2F%20%40griffel%3Acss-start%20%5Bd%5D%20%2F%0A.fm40iov%7Bcolor%3A%23ccc%3B%7D%0A%2F%20%40griffel%3Acss-end%20%2F%0A!./src/foo-module/baz.js
despite it was not able to fulfill desired ordering with these modules:
* css ./node_modules/css-loader/dist/cjs.js!./node_modules/@griffel/webpack-extraction-plugin/virtual-loader/index.js?style=%2F%20%40griffel%3Acss-start%20%5Bd%5D%20%2F%0A.f1e30ogq%7Bcolor%3Ablueviolet%3B%7D%0A%2F%20%40griffel%3Acss-end%20%2F%0A!./src/foo-module/qux.js
- couldn't fulfill desired order of chunk group(s)
`

This will not affect the order of CSS modules in the final bundle as Griffel sorts own CSS modules anyway.

`js
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');

module.exports = {
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
ignoreOrder: true,
}),
],
};
