A stylus loader for webpack.

npm install stylus-loader stylus --save-dev

Important: in order to have ability use any stylus package version, it won't be installed automatically. So it's required to add it to package.json along with stylus-loader.

The latest version supporting webpack 1 can be installed with:

npm install stylus-loader@webpack1 stylus --save-dev

var css = require('!raw!stylus!./file.styl'); // Just the CSS
var css = require('!css!stylus!./file.styl'); // CSS with processed url(...)s

See css-loader to see the effect of processed url(...)s.

Or within the webpack config:

module: {
  loaders: [{
    test: /\.styl$/,
    loader: 'css-loader!stylus-loader?paths=node_modules/bootstrap-stylus/stylus/'
  }]
}

Then you can: var css = require('./file.styl');.

Use in tandem with the style-loader to add the css rules to your document:

module: {
  loaders: [
    { test: /\.styl$/, loader: 'style-loader!css-loader!stylus-loader' }
  ]
}

and then require('./file.styl'); will compile and add the CSS to your page.

stylus-loader can also take advantage of webpack's resolve options. With the default options it'll find files in web_modules as well as node_modules, make sure to prefix any lookup in node_modules with ~. For example if you have a styles package lookup files in it like @import '~styles/my-styles. It can also find stylus files without having the extension specified in the @import and index files in folders if webpack is configured for stylus's file extension.

module: {
  resolve: {
    extensions: ['', '.js', '.styl']
  }
}

will let you have an index.styl file in your styles package and require('styles') or @import '~styles' it. It also lets you load a stylus file from a package installed in node_modules or if you add a modulesDirectories, like modulesDirectories: ['node_modules', 'web_modules', 'bower_components'] option you could load from a folder like bower_components. To load files from a relative path leave off the ~ and @import 'relative-styles/my-styles'; it.

Be careful though not to use the extensions configuration for two types of in one folder. If a folder has a index.js and a index.styl and you @import './that-folder', it'll end up importing a javascript file into your stylus.

You can also use stylus plugins by adding an extra stylus section to your webpack.config.js.

var stylus_plugin = require('stylus_plugin');
module: {
  loaders: [
    { test: /\.styl$/, loader: 'style-loader!css-loader!stylus-loader' }
  ]
},
stylus: {
  use: [stylus_plugin()]
}

Multiple configs can be used by giving other configs different names and referring to the with the config query option.

var stylus_plugin = require('stylus_plugin');
module: {
  loaders: [
    {
      test: /\.other\.styl$/,
      loader: 'style-loader!css-loader!stylus-loader?config=stylusOther'
    }
  ]
},
stylusOther: {
  use: [stylus_plugin()]
}

Webpack 2 formalizes its options with a schema. Options can be provided to stylus-loader in the options field to module.rules or through LoaderOptionsPlugin or stylus-loader's OptionsPlugin (a convenience wrapper around LoaderOptionsPlugin).

Config through module rules:

module: {
  rules: [
    {
      test: /\.styl$/,
      use: [
        'style-loader',
        'css-loader',
        {
          loader: 'stylus-loader',
          options: {
            use: [stylus_plugin()],
          },
        },
      ],
    }
  ],
},

Config through LoaderOptionsPlugin:

module: {
  rules: [
    {
      test: /\.styl$/,
      loader: 'style-loader!css-loader!stylus-loader',
    },
  ],
},
plugins: [
  new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({
    test: /\.styl$/,
    stylus: {
      // You can have multiple stylus configs with other names and use them
      // with `stylus-loader?config=otherConfig`.
      default: {
        use: [stylus_plugin()],
      },
      otherConfig: {
        use: [other_plugin()],
      },
    },
  }),
],

Config through stylus-loader's OptionsPlugin (convenience wrapper for LoaderOptionsPlugin):

plugins: [
  new stylusLoader.OptionsPlugin({
    default: {
      use: [stylus_plugin()],
    },
  }),
],

The easiest way of enabling nib is to import it in the stylus options:

stylus: {
  use: [require('nib')()],
  import: ['~nib/lib/nib/index.styl']
}

where ~ resolves to node_modules/

stylus-loader currently prefers resolving paths with stylus's resovling utilities and then falling back to webpack when it can't find files. Use the preferPathResolver option with the value 'webpack' to swap this. This has the benefit of using webpack's async resolving instead of stylus's sync resolving. If you have a lot of dependencies in your stylus files this'll let those dependencies be found in parallel.

stylus: {
  preferPathResolver: 'webpack',
}

npm test
open http://localhost:8080/test/
