(WEBPACK) Can't get it to work with webpack and htmlwebpackplugin

[Rami-Al]

Hey guys, I'm trying to use purgecss with my Webpack by using postcss but nothing's happening. I'm sure though that postcss is working fine since I tried other plugins like nanocss and autoprefixer and they're working perfectly. You can have a look at the simple zip project if you'd like. Don't forget to: $ npm i . postcss.zip OR have a look at my config files here.

webpack.config.js

const glob = require("glob");
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');
const path = require("path");
const HtmlWebPackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin");

const PATHS = {
    src: path.join(__dirname, 'src')
}

module.exports = {
    entry: path.join(__dirname, "src", "main.js"),
    output: {
        filename: "main_bundle.js",
        path: path.join(__dirname, "dist")
    },
    module: {
        rules: [{
                test: /\.js$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                use: "babel-loader"
            },
            {
                test: /\.(svg|jpeg|jpg|gif)$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                use: {
                    loader: "file-loader",
                    options: {
                        name: "[name].[ext]",
                        outputPath: "assets"
                    }
                }
            },
            {
                test: /\.(woff|woff2|eot|ttf|png|ico)$/,
                loader: 'url-loader?limit=100000'
            },
            {

                test: /\.(sc|c)ss$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                use: [{
                    loader: MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader
                }, "css-loader", "postcss-loader", "sass-loader", ]
            },
        ]
    },

    plugins: [
        new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
            filename: 'main.css'
        }),
        new HtmlWebPackPlugin({
            template: "./src/html-template.html",
            filename: "./index.html"
        })

    ]
}

postcss.config.js

module.exports = {
    plugins: [
        require('autoprefixer'),
        require("@fullhuman/postcss-purgecss")({
            content: ["./src/*.html", "./src/main.js", "./src/main.scss"],
            defaultExtractor: content => content.match(/[A-Za-z0-9-_:/]+(::)/g) || []
        })
        // require('cssnano')({
        //     preset: 'default',
        // })
    ]
}

I guess it's the problem of sass-loader, not HtmlWebPackPlugin. After adding a postcss-import plugin and everything works fine. Maybe the process order of loaders are different (I'm not sure) :/

Take a look at css-loader's importLoaders option From docs:

use: [
          'style-loader',
          {
            loader: 'css-loader',
            options: {
              importLoaders: 2,
              // 0 => no loaders (default);
              // 1 => postcss-loader;
              // 2 => postcss-loader, sass-loader
            },
          },
          'postcss-loader',
          'sass-loader',
        ],
