Build error when including npm module @ckeditor/ckeditor5-basic-styles@41.0.0 and others

[milelo]

I’m trying to include the npm module @ckeditor/ckeditor5-basic-styles@41.0.0 as a plugin for @ckeditor/ckeditor5-react. The basic editor works ok but this and other plugins cause a build error when I “require” them.

Any help appreciated TIA

shadow-cljs does not support CSS. Thefore you cannot require CSS files directly and need a secondary tool for that.

If the plugin requires those CSS files you can setup webpack and follow these directions. Then shadow-cljs will only be processing the CLJS files and JS/CSS is left to webpack.
