Create-React-App: What's the best way to include CSS from node_module directory

Find the path of the css file

example: ./node_modules/packagename/dist/css/styles.css

Import using the path related to node_modules (anything after node_modules/ )

import 'packagename/dist/css/styles.css'

relative paths are unnecessary from node_modules and should not be the recommended way to include the css

all you have to do is leave off the preceding slash and node_modules directory same as importing a js package from node modules:

import 'package/css/style-to-import.css'

when using (s)css imports, use the tilde (~) to indicate an absolute import:

@import '~package/css/style-to-import.css'

A distinction not made from the previous answers is it depends on where you're importing the CSS into; a component or into a stylesheet.

If you're importing a node_modules stylesheet into a component, you don't need a relative path like mentioned above.

import 'packagename/dist/css/styles.css'

However, if you're importing a node_modules stylesheet into a CSS/SCSS file, you need to use tilde ~.

@import '~packagename/dist/css/styles.css'
