Blueprint: Unable to import Blueprint 2 in LESS through webpack

[kaiyoma]

Bug report

• __blueprint version__: 2.0.0-beta.3
• __webpack version__: 3.10.0

Steps to reproduce

I also posted about this here but haven't heard anything.

The Blueprint docs say to use this:

@import "~@blueprintjs/core";

However, if I try that, I get this error from webpack:

Can't resolve '@blueprintjs/core.less'

123 deals with similar issues and a lot of people suggested using this:

@import "~@blueprintjs/core/dist/blueprint.css";

webpack doesn't like that either:

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@blueprintjs/core/dist/blueprint.css'

Looking in the dist/ directory, I can see that there's only a JS file in there:

$ ls node_modules/\@blueprintjs/core/dist/
core.bundle.js

After some trial and error, I found that this works:

@import "~@blueprintjs/core/lib/css/blueprint.css";

But this doesn't seem right to me. Also, none of the icons are loaded via this method.

What's the correct way to do this?

Icons are not included in blueprint core anymore; there's a new package called @blueprintjs/icons.

@import "~@blueprintjs/core/lib/css/blueprint.css";

this is correct. most of the built assets moved from /dist/ to /lib/.

Ah, okay, I don't think that's in the docs anywhere. It looks like your v2 docs don't reflect some of the changes that have been made since v1.

For posterity:

1. Both @blueprintjs/core and @blueprintjs/icons need to be installed.
2. In your LESS, import both Blueprint stylesheets:

@import '~@blueprintjs/core/lib/css/blueprint.css';
@import '~@blueprintjs/icons/lib/css/blueprint-icons.css';

1. Make sure to add appropriate loaders to your webpack configuration (for LESS/CSS files and the icon fonts).
