The steps to add Sass to Create React App are:

  1. Install node-sass:

    npm install node-sass

    or

    yarn add node-sass

Since node-sass has deprecated therefore you can use the following steps to install sass :-

   npm install sass --save-dev

   **or**

   yarn add sass
  1. Convert your .css files to .scss
  2. Import your .scss files in your React components like App.js

Node-sass is deprecated, use sass.

install sass:

Using npm: npm install sass --save-dev

Using yarn: yarn add sass

import in your component: import example from './example.scss'

if you are in starting your new project and want control over webpack config, try to use react-app-rewired or craco, they offer you control over webpack config, by which you can add any loader into your config.

if CRA suffices your need then no need to complicate things above-mentioned packages.

The way to use scss depends a bit on your React development environment. For beginners React recommends using Create React App which is, according to them, "a comfortable environment for learning React, and is the best way to start building a new single-page application in React." You can read more about it at https://reactjs.org/docs/create-a-new-react-app.html. To create your app you simply type the following at the command line:

npx create-react-app my-app

After that, React sets up a full development environment with css files you can edit to style your code.

If you want to continue using create-react-app (sometimes called CRA) and use scss then you can install the Dart Sass library by typing:

npm i sass --save-dev

(Keep in mind that node-sass in deprecated and we are using Dart Sass instead of it)
For a full explanation about how to use node-sass and CRA together see "How to Use SASS in Create React App?": https://www.robinwieruch.de/create-react-app-with-sass-support

Once you move beyond CRA you can tinker with your own webpack.config.js which can also be set up to compile and import SCSS files. But if you are just starting out with React then you may want to leave tinkering with your webpack.config.js for later and stick with CRA.

If using create-react-app then:

1)First install sass dependency using npm:

npm install sass --save-dev

2)Import your sass file to your componentName.js file

import '../scss/FileName.scss';

If you are using create-react-app, just add sass as a dev dependency.

yarn add -D sass or npm install --save-dev sass

Then just replace/rename all CSS files and corresponding imports to *.scss instead of *.css
