Hello,

What do I need to put in the webpack.config.js - or other configuration file - in order to add the CSS file of a node module installed via npm to www/build/css so that I can include it in my index.html?

If there is a “best-practice” for including 3rd party .css files in ionic2 applications I’d be interested in hearing about it.

Thanks!

/David
