Trying to setup a react-app with all latest versions.

Github Repo Link

Trying to run storybook with sass file imported will result in below error. Trying to run without importing the styles, storybook works.

The same code works correctly when its run as npm start run with no warnings and errors.

I have configured css modules using @dr.pogodin/babel-plugin-react-css-modules with sass, webpack 5, react 17 and with latest packages.

ERROR in ./src/assets/stylesheets/app.scss 1:0
Module parse failed: Unexpected character '@' (1:0)

I don't know what you have done with your configuration but you would define the config things inside .storybook/main.js. And for global style css is supposed to be included in preview.js file.

In short, you have to do the few things:

  • Remove your .storybook/config.js and add .storybook/main.js with following content:
const custom = require('../webpack.config.js');

module.exports = {
  stories: [
    '../src/**/stories.js', // The name should have a prefix for component name like `button.stories.js` instead of `stories.js` like you've done. As you renamed, you can remove this pattern
    "../src/**/*.stories.@(js|jsx|ts|tsx)"
  ],
  webpackFinal: (config) => {
    return {
      ...config,
      module: {
        rules: custom.module.rules,
      },
      resolve: {
        ...config.resolve,
        ...custom.resolve,
      }
    };
  },
};
  • Create the .storybook/preview.js to import your global style:
import "../src/assets/stylesheets/app.scss";
