Setup issue with webpack, angular 2, css and sass

Question

[UPDATED FROM ORIGINAL ISSUE] I am trying to setup the latest version of Angular2 with webpack to process sass. I have scss files being processed now. However, the problem is with css now.

I have added the following to the app.component.ts file...

require('../../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css');
require('../../public/styles/styles.scss');

I am getting a build error from npm start...

    ./~/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css
Module build failed: ReferenceError: window is not defined
bootstrap\dist\css\bootstrap.css doesn't export content

The relevant bits of webpack.common.js...

{
    test: /\.css$/,
    loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({ loader: [{ loader: "style-loader" }, { loader: "css-loader" } ] })
  },
  {
    test: /\.scss$/,
    loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({ loader: [{ loader: "css-loader" }, { loader: "sass-loader" } ] })
  }

A snippet from my package.json...

"devDependencies": {
"@types/jasmine": "2.5.38",
"@types/node": "^6.0.42",
"codelyzer": "~2.0.0-beta.1",

}

I have been trying to solve this for days. Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

So, I found the answer. It appears the angular docs are out of date, as well as webpack docs.

I ended up with this as my working config file...

var webpack = require('webpack');
var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
var ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
var helpers = require('./helpers');

module.exports = {
  entry: {
    'polyfills': './src/polyfills.ts',
    'vendor': './src/vendor.ts',
    'app': './src/main.ts'
  },

  resolve: {
    extensions: ['.ts', '.js', '.json', '.css', '.scss', '.html']
  },

  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.ts$/,
        loaders: [{
          loader: 'awesome-typescript-loader',
          options: { configFileName: helpers.root('src', 'tsconfig.json') }
        },
        'angular2-template-loader']
      },
      {
        test: /\.html$/,
        loader: 'html-loader'
      },
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpg|jpe?g|gif|svg|woff|woff2|ttf|eot|ico)$/,
        loader: 'file-loader?name=assets/[name].[hash].[ext]'
      },
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({ loader: [{ loader: "css-loader" }, { loader: "postcss-loader" } ]})
      },
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({ loader: [{ loader: "css-loader" }, { loader: "sass-loader" } ] })
      }
    ]
  },

  plugins: [
    new ExtractTextPlugin({ filename: 'css/[name].css', disable: false, allChunks: true }),
    // Workaround for angular/angular#11580
    new webpack.ContextReplacementPlugin(
      // The (\\|\/) piece accounts for path separators in *nix and Windows
      /angular(\\|\/)core(\\|\/)(esm(\\|\/)src|src)(\\|\/)linker/,
      helpers.root('./src'), // location of your src
      {} // a map of your routes
    ),

    new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin({
      name: ['app', 'vendor', 'polyfills']
    }),

    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
      template: 'src/index.html'
    })
  ]
};

Then I added require statements to the app.component.ts file for the global css requirements, and then use the styles attribute on nested components for component specific styling.

Here's an example that works for me with regards to the use of scss. It's important to note that I don't compile my resulting css into a separate file. It gets generated as a module in my resulting js file:

  {
    test: /\.(scss)$/,
    loaders: [
      'raw-loader',
      'sass-loader'
    ]
  }
