Hello.

I went over the tuturial available at <https://play.kotlinlang.org/hands-on/Building%20Web%20Applications%20with%20React%20and%20Kotlin%20JS/01_Introduction> and after reading it my first exercise was to use one of the components available in the react bootstrap lib (<https://react-bootstrap.github.io/getting-started/introduction>). I created a `.kt` file for the `Alert` component and everything works fine exept importing the CSS resources. For now I dealt with this by importing the CSS file directly in html but I am wondering what would be the proper way of saying the following:
```{/* The following line can be included in your src/index.js or App.js file*/}

import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';```

`require("bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css")`

Where does `require` come from? My intellij does not seem to be able to find it. This is what I have so far:
```@file:JsModule("react-bootstrap")
@file:JsNonModule

import react.*

@JsName("Alert")
external val Alert: RClass&lt;AlertProps&gt;

external interface AlertProps: RProps {
    var variant: String
}```

and my `build.gradle.kts` has the following dependencies:
```implementation(npm("react-bootstrap"))
implementation(npm("bootstrap"))```

I think I got it:
```kotlinext.js.require("")```
What would be the preferred place to call it? Doing it in the `main` method raises an error:
```Uncaught Error: Module parse failed: Unexpected token (6:3)```

I just found <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-32721> which seems to be related.

I don’t have a ton of time to help, but the error could be related to your build... have you setup webpack to be able to import CSS files?

My memory on this is not great, but it vaguely looks like its trying to parse your CSS as if it were javascript

Nope, I have the same setup as in the tutorial. Thanks for the tip. I will dig into this.

Yep, it's working. I followed the instructions in <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-32721>.

Ah yeah, that’s pretty much what I guessed. Good!
