[spamshaker]

Describe the bug

Here is a reproduced issue. I am trying to load css dynamiclally
https://github.com/spamshaker/vite-css-bundling-issue

this says that it should work
https://github.com/rollup/plugins/tree/master/packages/dynamic-import-vars#import-assertions

I am getting

npm run build && npm run preview

> vite-project@0.0.0 build
> tsc && vite build

vite v5.2.11 building for production...

I also have an issue with the import-analysis.
In my project i get this warning:

[vite] warning:

[ng] Plugin: vite:import-analysis
[ng] File: C:/[project path]/src/.angular/cache/17.3.7/vite/deps/chunk-CK32LNO7.js?v=10cb471d

This import should be legit while starting with "./" I do not think there is much I can do here while that code is automatically generated.
I can do as suggested to add the "/* @vite-ignore */" part. And that does remove the warning but only untill angular decides to update its cache or i install the project on another machine.

I was on vite 5.1.4 and now tried to update it to 5.2.11 with the same result.

ignoring it is not a resolution, I need to bundle them correctly and chunk for each css should be created

[spamshaker]

I updated the issue to clarify expectations

[spamshaker]

might be related #14102

[spamshaker]

ooo please.... seems its only works this way

https://github.com/spamshaker/vite-css-bundling-issue/blob/working/src/theme-loader.ts

Now those two chunks have been created and finally can be reached in runtime:

dist/assets/theme-dark-6jg3YJQ8.css 0.03 kB │ gzip: 0.04 kB
dist/assets/theme-light-DdXo6UAR.css 0.03 kB │ gzip: 0.04 kB

full output I got:

Does anyone know if this is gonna be like that or it it's going to be fixed?

[spamshaker]

here is exactly what I needed and it seems to be working

https://github.com/spamshaker/vite-css-bundling-issue/blob/b6cac1beb197910ad50006a5497ae211e15f492f/node_modules/themes/loader.js?plain=1#L1-L13

this means that it loads it in appropriate way - switch/case is enough in my case. I have put it into node_modules to ensure that it can be bundled when the css is provided as a library

as for the import.meta.glob - it works, however it is not part of any ECMA or tc39 proposals (or I just didn't find it) so I would treat it as a workaround.

At this stage if no objection the Issue could be closed, or the documentation would need to be updated as I saw there are opened couple of similar issues like

• Can't dynamically import a node module with a variable #14102
• Dynamic imported files not in built files #15864

[pwuertz]

I'm having a similar issue (I think) with Vue single file components dynamically loaded via Vite import.meta.glob.

In production, dynamically loaded components are missing a lot of CSS styles. There is no issue when running vite in dev mode.

As suggested in #10630, this seems to be triggered by the cssCodeSplit: true build option, so cssCodeSplit: false might be a workaround.

[sapphi-red]

Vite does not support CSS import attributes yet (#17700).
