Component library reuse requires CSS or SCSS TSC to compile without copying the compiled style file

Thank you for bringing this up.

I aimed to avoid showcasing styling solutions in this repository. I did add a naive css extraction webpack setup for the sanitize.css, but it doesn't have any asset copying (into dist) so it doesn't really support local css assets.

The thing is... each styling solution has its own set of requirements.

CSS-in-JS based solutions, for example, probably won't need to worry about it at all.

Within Wix, we use Stylable, which has its own CLI (stc) to build and/or copy .st.css files into dist.

Full support for source code importing .css/.scss/.less/.whatever requires additional building. It would have to be addressed for Node as well, if one wants to execute mocha on tests importing these source files.

Because of the above, I tend to view this as currently out of the scope for this repository. I'll probably add a note in the README explaining this.

Having said all that, you could probably write a short asset copying script to build/copy .css assets from src to dist. If there's specific assistance you need, please let me know.
