How to add css-loader and stylus-loader into nuxt.config.js?

Question

I create an Nuxt.js skeleton:

yarn create nuxt-app myapp

Then I add css-loader and stylus loader:

yarn add css-loader
yarn add stylus stylus loader

I then add them to nuxt.config.js:

build: {
    /*
    ** You can extend webpack config here
    */
    extend(config, ctx) {
      // Run ESLint on save
      if (ctx.isDev && ctx.isClient) {
        config.module.rules.push({
          enforce: 'pre',
          test: /\.(js|vue)$/,
          loader: 'eslint-loader',
          exclude: /(node_modules)/
        })
        config.module.rules.push({
          test: /\.css$/,
          loader: ['css-loader', 'stylus-loader'],
          exclude: /(node_modules)/
        })
      }
    }
  }

I get this when I run yarn run dev:

begueradj@begueradj:~/myapp$ yarn run dev
yarn run v1.10.1
$ nuxt

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

Why I added these loaders into nuxt.config.js? Because, for instance, on here it says installing the loader is not enough unless you extend the webpack configuration. And to do so in Nuxt, we have to do it similarly to what I did (I suppose)

Answer 1

Your discussion helps me! My steps(if you have stylus globally):

npm install stylus-loader stylus --save-dev

And that's it. After that you can automatically use stylus in your project.

Answer 2

[Quite a long delayed answer. But will help someone for recent nuxt versions (^2.14)]

A solution from issue discussion nuxt issue with ref to webpack stylus options and for nuxt latest (2.14.7),

extend webpack configuration mapping all loaders,

build: {
    extend (config, { isDev, isClient }) {
      [].concat(...config.module.rules.find(e => e.test.toString().match(/\.styl/)).oneOf.map(e => e.use.filter(e => e.loader == 'stylus-loader'))).forEach(stylus => { 
        Object.assign(stylus.options, {
          //preferPathResolver: 'webpack',
          sourceMap: true,
          stylusOptions: { 
            //use: ['nib'],
            include: ['~assets/styles'],  //include all styl files from folder
            import: [
              '~assets/style/main.styl',  //your main styl file
            ],
          },
        })
        //console.log(stylus)
      }) 
    },

this imports the files and include stylus folder as well.
