How to load Global scss files in storybook for angular app?

I am trying to load a custom global style file, theme-default.scss in storybook. Although my components are loading in storybook but styles are not being applied.I followed this tutorial Storybook official docs of custom webpack config. (I am not very familiar to webpack though)

here is my .storybook/main.js file

const path = require('path');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');
//import '!style-loader!css-loader!../src/stories/stories.scss'; // for scss
module.exports = {
  stories: ['../src/**/*.stories.ts'],
  addons: ['@storybook/addon-actions', '@storybook/addon-links', '@storybook/addon-notes'],
  webpackFinal: async (config, { configType }) => {
    // `configType` has a value of 'DEVELOPMENT' or 'PRODUCTION'
    // You can change the configuration based on that.
    // 'PRODUCTION' is used when building the static version of storybook.

    // Make whatever fine-grained changes you need
    config.module.rules.push({
      test: /\.scss$/,
      use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader', 'sass-loader'],
      include: path.resolve(__dirname, '../')
    });

    // Return the altered config
    return config;
  }
};

It is giving me following error

ERROR in ./src/app/app.component.scss

   ^

Then, I tried using inline loader syntax as mentioned in this comment Here is how my .storybook/preview.js looks

import '!style-loader!css-loader!sass-loader!./_common.scss';

Inside _common.scss

@import '../src/theme-default.scss';
@import '../src/styles.scss';

Although it is not giving any error but still styles are not getting applied!

Here is my angular.json

}

I have also tried using this approach sass-resources-loader

I have done a lot of trial and error but could not figure out solution. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Solution 1:

Since Angular 13 and onward, style imports must be added to your storybook-architekt in your angular.json, under your-project > (build-)storybook > options > styles. As importing the stylesheets in .storybook/main.js is no longer supported, you can remove it and instead add the stylesheets like shown below.

angular.json:

"your-project": {
  ...
  "storybook": {
      "builder": "@storybook/angular:start-storybook",
      "options": {
          ...
          "projectBuildConfig": "your-lib:build-storybook",
          "styles": [
              "path-to-the-stylesheet/styles.scss",
              "path-to-the-stylesheet/your-theme.scss"
          ],
          ...
      },
      ...
  
    },
    ...
}

You can find this information in the migration-guide of storybook.
