Question: Multiple JS chunks, single CSS chunk #52

AvraamMavridis · 2018-03-23T08:38:09Z

Is it possible to have multiple JS chunks but a single css output file?

My current setup is:

  optimization: {
    minimize: true,
    minimizer: [
      new UglifyJSPlugin({
        uglifyOptions: {
          compress: {
            passes: 2,
          },
          output: {
            comments: false,
          },
        },
      }),
    ],
    splitChunks: {
      chunks: 'all',
      cacheGroups: {
        vendor: {
          filename: 'vendorbundle.js',
          test: m => /node_modules/.test(m.context),
        },
      },
    },
  },

...
...

    new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
      filename: 'styles.css',
    }),

This generates 2 JS files, and 2 css files (styles.css, and 1.styles.css)

What I would like to have is a single css file, is that doable?

I've been using something like that for the same use-case with success:

  optimization: {
    splitChunks: {
      cacheGroups: {
        default: false,
        // Custom common chunk
        bundle: {
          name: 'commons',
          chunks: 'all',
          minChunks: 3,
          reuseExistingChunk: false,
        },
        // Customer vendor
        vendors: {
          chunks: 'initial',
          name: 'vendors',
          test: 'vendors',
        },
        // Merge all the CSS into one file
        styles: {
          name: 'styles',
          test: /\.s?css$/,
          chunks: 'all',
          minChunks: 1,
          reuseExistingChunk: true,
          enforce: true,
        },
      },
    },
  },

Doesnt seem to work for me

AvraamMavridis · 2018-03-23T12:12:51Z

@Akkenar can you share all of the config file please?

Pierre-Do · 2018-03-23T13:14:49Z

@AvraamMavridis it seems that I was missing an enforce: true on the rule.

You'll find an example project there: https://github.com/Akkenar/CSS-Single-File-Example

It seems that the vendors are still generated for the CSS.

You could try:

Add vendors: false, in cacheGroups, see if this disables the vendor~ generation
Try to add priorities to the rules within cacheGroups, see if you can have the style one being more greedy.

sokra · 2018-03-26T15:11:14Z

Do you want to send a PR adding this to the documentation?

minChunks: 1, and reuseExistingChunk: true, are not needed.

Pierre-Do · 2018-03-27T06:32:58Z

Thanks for your feedback @sokra .

I'll send a PR whenever I find time.

Is this supposed to work at the moment ?

@aboeglin no, please create issue in webpack repo with minimum reproducible test repo. thanks

mnpenner · 2018-06-26T18:46:12Z

I'm still getting a CSS file for every chunk with

styles: {
    name: 'styles',
    test: /\.(css|less)$/, // not sure if .less is necessary or its already been compiled at this point
    chunks: 'all',
    enforce: true
}

~~Which seems to be breaking my CSS~~ CSS break was my own dumb fault. cssnano was shrinking my z-indexes. I still haven't managed to produce a single output CSS file though. Probably something else I messed up...

klis87 · 2018-08-02T18:11:24Z

I also cannot make it work, whats happens for me is that I have multiple entries (multi real web pages SPA), and after any combination suggested here, I end up with unnecessary styles.js chunk, and, whats worse, without vendor and commons chunks which are generated otherwise.

For now I migrated back to extract-text-plugin@next, which works fine.

mnpenner · 2018-08-07T16:29:36Z

It should be jsx? unless you're using jsx and jx extensions, which would be weird.

@sokra
Why the issue has closed? This is not fixed. At least point people to a direction.

anastasiap · 2018-09-28T09:31:40Z

Non of the above proposed solutions worked for me.

I solved the issue by using underscore for scss files in components and then importing it in style.scss the usual way.

components
-- About
--- _about.scss
--- About.vue
--- About.ts
scss
-- style.scss

@import '../components/About/about';

Can this please be re-opened until a solution is in place?

alexander-akait · 2018-12-07T19:19:29Z

@rnicholus solution of what? use splitChunks and configure chunks how you want (one, two, one hundred)

rnicholus · 2018-12-07T22:51:47Z

I've followed that guidance, and it didn't seem to have any effect. This seems to have been a problem for other posters in this issue as well.

2-5 · 2018-12-07T23:02:42Z

This works for me, change the test regular expression to only match .js (and not something like .css):

optimization: {
  splitChunks: {
    cacheGroups: {
      vendor: {
        test: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/].*\.js$/,
        name: 'vendors',
        chunks: 'all',
      },
    },
  },
},

rnicholus · 2018-12-08T03:32:11Z

@2-5 After adding that to my webpack config, I'm still seeing about 50 CSS chunks.

ShubhamChodankar026531 · 2019-07-05T10:44:08Z

To Create a Single css file and create chunk of vendor.js file, can use the following configuration.

optimization: {
      splitChunks: {
         cacheGroups: {
           commons: {
             test: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/](.(?!.*\.css$))*$/,
             name: 'vendors',
             chunks: 'all'
           }
         },
       }
  }

the regex is different from one mentioned in above comments : test: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/].*\.js$/,
in a way that it takes all files apart from .css files in vendors.js...
can use either one based on file types used in project.
this is compatible with Webpack version > 4 at the time.

matzeeable · 2020-03-11T07:14:48Z

Stumbled over the same problem but I go one step further because my script imports also .scss and .less files from vendors:

splitChunks: {
    vendor: {
        // [...]
        test: /node_modules.*(?<!\.css)(?<!\.scss)(?<!\.less)$/
        // [...]
    }
}

StNekroman · 2020-04-10T17:29:12Z

Very bad bug.
It's impossible to fetch all styles to one file.

Found the reason - it was due to my custom webpack config, where I was combining chunks by issuer file.
But for one chunk the issuer was completely separate - that's why some styles gone to separate bundle.

temple · 2020-04-14T15:43:21Z

@StNekroman, have you tried the formula suggested in the PR #60 , which is already merged?
It works for me, combining in one file shared styles among different entry points dependency graphs, no matter if are vendors or local app ones.

StNekroman · 2020-04-15T06:51:58Z

@temple nevermind, it was my issue - comment updated.
