# Customize your Webpack Config
{% callout type="note" title="Webpack Config Setup" %}
This guide helps you customize your webpack config - add extra functionality and support for other frameworks or features. To see how you can set up a basic webpack config for Nx, read the [Webpack Config Setup guide](/packages/webpack/documents/webpack-config-setup).
{% /callout %}
For most apps, the default configuration of webpack is sufficient, but sometimes you need to tweak a setting in your webpack config. This guide explains how to make a small change without taking on the maintenance burden of the entire webpack config.
## React projects
React projects use the `@nrwl/react` package to build their apps. This package provides a `withReact` plugin that adds the necessary configuration for React to work with webpack. You can use this plugin to add the necessary configuration to your webpack config.
```js {% fileName="apps/my-app/webpack.config.js" %}
const { composePlugins, withNx } = require('@nrwl/webpack');
const { withReact } = require('@nrwl/react');
// Nx plugins for webpack.
module.exports = composePlugins(
withNx(),
withReact(),
(config, { options, context }) => {
// Update the webpack config as needed here.
// e.g. config.plugins.push(new MyPlugin())
return config;
}
);
```
## Add a Loader
To add the `css-loader` to your config, install it and add the rule.
{% tabs %}
{% tab label="yarn" %}
```shell
yarn add -D css-loader
```
{% /tab %}
{% tab label="npm" %}
```shell
npm install -D css-loader
```
{% /tab %}
{% /tabs %}
```js {% fileName="apps/my-app/webpack.config.js" %}
const { composePlugins, withNx } = require('@nrwl/webpack');
const { merge } = require('webpack-merge');
module.exports = composePlugins(withNx(), (config, { options, context }) => {
return merge(config, {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/i,
use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader'],
},
],
},
});
});
```
## Module Federation
If you use the [Module Federation](/recipes/module-federation/faster-builds) support from `@nrwl/angular` or `@nrwl/react` then
you can customize your webpack configuration as follows.
```js {% fileName="apps/my-app/webpack.config.js" %}
const { composePlugins, withNx } = require('@nrwl/webpack');
const { merge } = require('webpack-merge');
const withModuleFederation = require('@nrwl/react/module-federation');
// or `const withModuleFederation = require('@nrwl/angular/module-federation');`
module.exports = composePlugins(withNx(), (config, { options, context }) => {
const federatedModules = await withModuleFederation({
// your options here
});
return merge(federatedModules(config, context), {
// overwrite values here
});
});
```
Reference the [webpack documentation](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/) for details on the structure of the webpack
config object.
## Next.js Applications
Next.js supports webpack customization in the `next.config.js` file.
```js {% fileName="next.config.js" %}
const { withNx } = require('@nrwl/next/plugins/with-nx');
const nextConfig = {
webpack: (
config,
{ buildId, dev, isServer, defaultLoaders, nextRuntime, webpack }
) => {
// Important: return the modified config
return config;
},
};
return withNx(nextConfig);
```
Read the [official documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/custom-webpack-config) for more details.
