# style loader for webpack
## Usage
[Documentation: Using loaders](http://webpack.github.io/docs/using-loaders.html)
### Simple API
``` javascript
require("style!raw!./file.css");
// => add rules in file.css to document
```
It's recommended to combine it with the [`css-loader`](https://github.com/webpack/css-loader): `require("style!css!./file.css")`.
It also possible to add a URL instead of a css string:
``` javascript
require("style/url!file!./file.css");
// => add a <link rel="stylesheet"> to file.css to document
```
### Reference-counted API
``` javascript
var style = require("style/useable!css!./file.css");
style.use(); // = style.ref();
style.unuse(); // = style.unref();
```
Styles are not added on require, but instead on call to `use`/`ref`. Styles are removed from page if `unuse`/`unref` is called exactly as often as `use`/`ref`.
Note: Behavior is undefined when `unuse`/`unref` is called more often than `use`/`ref`. Don't do that.
### Options
#### `singleton`
If defined, the style-loader will re-use a single `<style>` element, instead of adding/removing individual elements for each required module. **Note:** this option is on by default in IE9, which has strict limitations on the # of style tags allowed on a page. You can enable or disable it with the singleton query parameter (`?singleton` or `?-singleton`).
## Recommended configuration
By convention the reference-counted API should be bound to `.useable.css` and the simple API to `.css` (similar to other file types, i. e. `.useable.less` and `.less`).
So the recommended configuration for webpack is:
``` javascript
{
module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.css$/, exclude: /\.useable\.css$/, loader: "style!css" },
{ test: /\.useable\.css$/, loader: "style/useable!css" }
]
}
}
```
