+
+By default, `mini-css-extract-plugin` generates JS modules that use the CommonJS modules syntax.
+There are some cases in which using ES modules is beneficial, like in the case of [module concatenation](https://webpack.js.org/plugins/module-concatenation-plugin/) and [tree shaking](https://webpack.js.org/guides/tree-shaking/).
+
+You can enable a ES module syntax using:
+
+**webpack.config.js**
+
+```js
+const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');
+
+module.exports = {
+  plugins: [new MiniCssExtractPlugin()],
+  module: {
+    rules: [
+      {
+        test: /\.css$/i,
+        use: [
+          {
+            loader: MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
+            options: {
+              esModule: true,
+            },
+          },
+          'css-loader',
+        ],
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+};
+```

 #### Minimal example
 
 **webpack.config.js**

 const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');
