I am a new Angular 2 user, and I have some problems with it.
Traditionally, we could use <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/normalize.css/normalize.css" />
to import a css file, but I want to make Angular 2 to automatically import it using import
.
I tried to use the same way when I used Material 2:
// angular-cli-build.js
module.exports = function(defaults) {
return new Angular2App(defaults, {
vendorNpmFiles: [
'normalize-path/index.js',
]
});
};
// system-config.ts
const map: any = {
'normalize': 'vendor/normalize-path',
};
/** User packages configuration. */
const packages: any = {
'normalize': {main: 'index.js'},
};
// app.component.ts
import { normalize } from 'normalize-path';
The editor will complain:
Cannot find module 'normalize-path'.
And the code won't compile. But I really have no idea what was wrong.
Update for Angular 8
Install the normalize.css library:
npm install --save normalize.css
Import it in your styles.css
@import '~normalize.css';
With the current (1.0.0-beta.15
) version of angular-cli, the solution is quite easy:
npm i normalize.css
- add
"../node_modules/normalize.css/normalize.css"
in apps[0].styles
in the config file angular-cli.json
Note: If using Angular 7, the config file is now angular.json
, and the path to normalise.css in apps[0].styles
should be "../node_modules/normalize.css/normalize.css"
.
Example:
{
"project": {
"version": "1.0.0-beta.15",
"name": "normalize.css-in-angular2"
},
"apps": [
{
"root": "src",
"outDir": "dist",
"assets": "assets",
"index": "index.html",
"main": "main.ts",
"test": "test.ts",
"tsconfig": "tsconfig.json",
"prefix": "app",
"mobile": false,
"styles": [
"../node_modules/normalize.css/normalize.css",
"styles.css"
],
"scripts": [],
"environments": {
"source": "environments/environment.ts",
"dev": "environments/environment.ts",
"prod": "environments/environment.prod.ts"
}
}
],
"addons": [],
"packages": [],
"e2e": {
"protractor": {
"config": "./protractor.conf.js"
}
},
"test": {
"karma": {
"config": "./karma.conf.js"
}
},
"defaults": {
"styleExt": "css",
"prefixInterfaces": false
}
}
Based on this answer, all needed to do was:
Install the normalize.css library:
npm install --save normalize.css
Import it in your styles.css
@import '~normalize.css';
The accepted response doesn't seem to be working on app. I needed to remove the ../
in the path name.
The angular.json styles bit should be something like this:
"styles": [
"node_modules/normalize.css/normalize.css",
"styles.css"
],
// angular-cli-build.js
module.exports = function(defaults) {
return new Angular2App(defaults, {
vendorNpmFiles: [
'systemjs/dist/system-polyfills.js',
'systemjs/dist/system.src.js',
'zone.js/dist/**/*.+(js|js.map)',
'es6-shim/es6-shim.js',
'reflect-metadata/**/*.+(ts|js|js.map)',
'rxjs/**/*.+(js|js.map)',
'@angular/**/*.+(js|js.map)',
'@angular2-material/**/*.+(js|js.map)',
'normalize.css/normalize.css'
]
});
};
and simple add the css link to index.html
// index.html
<link href="vendor/normalize.css/normalize.css" rel="stylesheet">
