Troubleshooting CSS Integration in Your React Library: A Quick Guide

Creating a UI component library with React is a fantastic way to share reusable components across different applications. However, one of the common issues developers face is when the CSS styles fail to apply to their linked projects. If you've found yourself asking, "Why are my CSS styles not applying to my React library?" then you're in the right place.

The Problem

After successfully creating a UI component library using create-react-library, you might run into a situation where the SCSS styles compile into CSS and are included in your library's bundle. However, when you try to use the components in a different application, the styles do not show up as expected. This can be frustrating and may lead to hours of debugging, as you check through your library code to find the source of the issue.

Understanding the Issue

The primary reason CSS isn’t applying in your linked React application is often due to a simple oversight: missing the import statement for your external styles. The styles are compiled, but without explicitly importing the CSS file in your application, the styles will not be utilized.

Key Checklist

Ensure you have compiled your SCSS to CSS.

Confirm that the CSS file is included in the library bundle.

Remember to check if you’ve imported the CSS file in your application where you’re using the component.

Solution: Importing the CSS Correctly

To resolve this issue, you'll need to ensure that the CSS file from your library is being imported correctly into your application. Here’s how to do it:

Locate your CSS File:
The compiled CSS file is typically located in the dist folder of your library project.

Add the Import Statement:
At the top of your application file (where you are utilizing your components), import the CSS file with the following syntax:

Make sure to replace <your-library-name> with the actual name of your library.

Test Your Application:
Once you add the import, run your application again. Your components should now render with the correct styles applied!

Conclusion

Debugging CSS issues can be a frustrating task, especially when working with a component library in React. By ensuring you import your CSS file correctly, you can save yourself from a lot of time spent troubleshooting. Now you're equipped to tackle this common pitfall and keep your UI components looking sharp in your applications. Happy coding!
