So I did
npm install animate.css --save
Which installed it successfully, I can see it in my node_modules
I want to be able to use animate.css in my elixir-phoenix-react project.
I am just unsure where to import/require it and what the path would even be.
I tried to #import "animate.css"; from my app.scss file but that did not work
I also tried to import "animate.css/animate.min.css"; in my app.js file that also did not work.
My question is where do I import/require animate.css so that it works? I want to use it in my react components to add some animation.
After I installed animate.css in the way below
npm install animate.css --save
I simple had to import the css file like this from my node_modules:
#import "~animate.css/animate.css";
Cheers
So, you can see it in your node_modules folder.
Now, you can use #import in your css file, or just <link> in your head but using the entire path where your animate.css is.
It should be something like node_modules/animate/animate.css
If you want to use it in production, just move the css file into your styles folder.

Just added the package normalize-scss to my new Vue project, but none of the styles are being applied... I've tried both:
#import 'normalize-scss' in my styles.scss
import 'normalize-scss' in my main.js page
Am I doing something wrong? The package is clearly there because the app runs, but it doesn't actually apply any css rules.
I figured it out. You need to put the normalize() after you import it, in your main.scss file. So:
#import 'normalize-scss';
#include normalize();
after installing it with npm import it at the top of main.js file:
import "normalize.css"
If you have a main/global scss file you already use:
Add normalize.css (any of these) to your project: yarn add normalize.css (or npm)
in your main.scss for example: #import '~normalize.css';
Note the ~ for ambiguity as cli docs say: https://cli.vuejs.org/guide/css.html#referencing-assets
Not sure if this is the correct way to do this but, if you are using vue-templates maybe you can try to import the style doing this:
<style lang="scss">
#import 'src/assets/css/mycss_lib.css';
</style>
Also remember, do not use scoped in the style-tags. You also need, scss loader and node-sass to make this work.
npm install --save normalize-scss
In main scss file #import "normalize-scss/sass/normalize/import-now";
I have used vue cli to create a custom vue project. I included router and vuex. I have bootstrap.min.css and styles.css in src/assets/css/
in my App.vue styles tag I use the following:
#import './src/assets/css/bootstrap.min.css';
#import './src/assets/css/styles.css';
when I do npm run serve, these files are served as html. It feels like I have tried a million variations of this import path but nothing works. I have wrapped it in a URL, I have 'required' it in main.js. Nothing works.
This should work if you are pulling it from node_modules:
#import "~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
check how I did it here.
I tried importing the files in my main.js file instead of the app.vue tags and noticed errors along the lines of 'couldn't find modules … /assets/img/bg1.jpg' etc etc. Turns out that all the asset path within my styles.css files needed correcting before it would work.
Thanks to everyone who assisted!
I have this really simple webpack projects in with I now want to also use bulma a css framework.
I installed the package via npm i bulma and tried to include it inside my app.js-file using the following snipped unsuccessfully:
import bulma from '~bulma/bulma.sass';
I also tried using a specific sass part, which also did not work:
import bulma from '~bulma/sass/base/_all';
Can you help me get this working or maybe point me in the right direction?
You need to update your webpack config file so the sass loader also processes sass files, not only scss files.
Change this line:
test: /\.scss$/, to test: /\.(sass|scss)$/
I'm trying to include some CSS in my create-react-app project. The CSS is from a 3rd party NPM package and therefore its in the node_modules directory.
I tried:
import '/node_modules/packagename/css/styles.css';
But I get the error:
Module not found: You attempted to import /node_modules/packagename/css/styles.css which falls outside of the project src/ directory. Relative imports outside of src/ are not supported. You can either move it inside src/, or add a symlink to it from project's node_modules/.
I would prefer to not move the CSS to src/ so it can be updated via NPM. I could symlink but as I develop on windows and deploy to linux this isn't ideal.
What's the best way from me to include the CSS?
Find the path of the css file
example: ./node_modules/packagename/dist/css/styles.css
Import using the path related to node_modules (anything after node_modules/ )
import 'packagename/dist/css/styles.css'
relative paths are unnecessary from node_modules and should not be the recommended way to include the css
all you have to do is leave off the preceding slash and node_modules directory same as importing a js package from node modules:
import 'package/css/style-to-import.css'
when using (s)css imports, use the tilde (~) to indicate an absolute import:
#import '~package/css/style-to-import.css'
A distinction not made from the previous answers is it depends on where you're importing the CSS into; a component or into a stylesheet.
If you're importing a node_modules stylesheet into a component, you don't need a relative path like mentioned above.
import 'packagename/dist/css/styles.css'
However, if you're importing a node_modules stylesheet into a CSS/SCSS file, you need to use tilde ~.
#import '~packagename/dist/css/styles.css'
I found this a bug of a pain. specially my webpack.config.js is not running anymore.
specially react app is now running in src folder and the import files need to be in the public folder.
i was using materialize-social and found out the easiest way is to move node_module file folder "materialize-social" to the public directory any other way please commend it down.
I have pulled in bulma in my project through :
$ npm install bulma
After that, how can I refer to it in my pages. I really don't know how to work with npm, so please can you guide me. Do I have to refer to it in my js by saying:
import bulma from 'bulma' or require it, I don't know where my files are. That means I don't know where are they located.
You can find the final css build at projectName/node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.css.
Chances are you're using a file loader with webpack and similar. If, for example in a Vue project, you have that, then you can use import syntax:
import 'bulma/css/bulma.css'
within your js. This works because having import [xyz from] 'xyz' will look at projectName/node_modules/xyz, and in the case of a css file, it's as simple as that!
If you do not have that installed, you need to find a way to send it over to the client. Just copy projectName/node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.css into a file, maybe bulma.css, in either an assets or public or whatever you use, then fetch it like you'd fetch any css file within the html: <link rel="stylesheet" href="/bulma.css">
#import "../node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.css";
If you have a main.css file for your project or something similar to that, you can add the above line inside your main.css file. This will import the default bulma.css file located inside your project's path node_modules/bulma/css/ after you have installed bulma via npm.
NOTE: you must include your main.css file( or something similar) inside your index.html as a static import if you chose to go this way.
For that you need to have something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/main.css">
I prefer this since bulma is a CSS framework, I think it's best to keep the stylesheets linked with each other.
It's CSS only.
Bulma is a CSS framework.
So you can add it just in your index.html like a normal css link:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="your/bulma/path/bulma.css />
Edit: You have installed bulma through the nodejs environment with the package manager npm so you must have a directory called node_modules and inside the bulma directory.
That is really unevident. If you want to get bulma work with fontawesome5 via npm, minimum working deps (for now) are:
npm i -S bulma #fortawesome/fontawesome #fortawesome/fontawesome-free-solid
then needed to be initialized like this:
import fontawesome from '#fortawesome/fontawesome'
import solid from '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free-solid'
import 'bulma/css/bulma.css'
fontawesome.library.add(solid)
More details can be found here: https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/use-with-node-js
I had the same issue in Vue and in the end I solved it thanks to this link. For Bulma you just need to run:
$ npm install bulma
After npm install, your files should be located under node_modules folder.
For Bulma, check that you have a folder bulma under node_modules, then you can import bulma css framework in your main.js file as follows: import "./../node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.css";
Note: even if on the link I provided they suggest the full path to bulma this is not a good practice as #Omkar pointed out, so I ended up importing bulma as follows: import "bulma/css/bulma.css";
Alternative Answer: CSS Preprocessing
I'm posting a somewhat indirect way to answer the question. I came here looking to see how I could use rendered SASS in my main app.js (in my case, for use in a pug.js template).
The answer is: use a CSS pre-processor. In this minimal example, I'll use node-sass.
0. Install:
npm install node-sass
npm install bulma
1. Create an inherited style
mystyles.scss:
#charset "utf-8";
#import "node_modules/bulma/bulma.sass"; // <--- Check and make sure this file is here after installing Bulma
This will inherit styles from the Bulma installation, but override those styles with what you place here.
2. Build the CSS
app.js:
const nsass = require("node-sass");
const rendered_style = nsass.renderSync({ // <---- This call is synchronous!
file: "./mystyles.scss",
});
Here, node-sass is processing the .scss file into a Result object that has CSS buffer. Note that node-sass has an asynchronous call (sass.render()) as well, if needed.
3. Use the CSS
The buffer containing the CSS is now available at rendered_style.css
console.write(rendered_style.css)
--Notes--
The benefit of the SASS approach is that it unlocks Customization, which is what makes Bulma powerful!
Keep in mind that if app.js is your entry point, the CSS will be rendered every time you run the server. If your styles aren't changing frequently, it may be best to write it out to a file. You can see more on this approach in the Bulma Documenation I adapted this from.
declaring this in the index.html file worked for me.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bulma/0.6.0/css/bulma.min.css">
In React, we have to declare this in the same html file where the root of the app is present.
