+### Server-side rendering
+
+To create a webpack build of [isomorphic](https://www.lullabot.com/articles/what-is-an-isomorphic-application)/[universal](http://www.acuriousanimal.com/2016/08/10/universal-applications.html) web application that pre-renders pages on the server side you might need to bundle CSS dependencies, such as `bootstrap.min.css`, installed from `node_modules`.
+
+There are several caveats in loading CSS in server-side environment:
+
+1) `style-loader` [can't be used in server-side node.js](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/extract-text-webpack-plugin/issues/503), because it refers to `window` global when trying to inline your `css` into the javascript bundle. You need to use [extract-text-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/extract-text-webpack-plugin) with `css-loader` to extract styles into a separate file.
+2) [target: node](https://webpack.js.org/concepts/targets/#usage) setting and [webpack-node-externals](https://github.com/liady/webpack-node-externals) package should be used to keep standard node.js modules and javascript dependencies from `node_modules` outside of the bundle.
+3) with default `webpack-node-externals` setup, CSS that resides in `node_modules` will also be excluded from the bundle. Imports of CSS files in sources will be replaced with `require('bootstrap.min.css')` statements in the bundle as if they were javascript, which results in `SyntaxError` in runtime. Thus non-javascript dependencies in `node_modules` need to be [whitelisted from externals](https://github.com/liady/webpack-node-externals#how-can-i-bundle-required-assets-ie-css-files-from-node_modules).
+
+**webpack.config.js**
+```js
+const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
+const nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals');
+
+module.exports = {
+  target: 'node', // don't bundle standard node.js modules such as http or path
+  externals: [nodeExternals({ // don't bundle dependencies from node_modules folder, except by non-javascript files
+    whitelist: [ // non-javascript files in node_modules should go to the bundle and be processed by ExtractTextPlugin
+      /\.(?!(?:jsx?|json)$).{1,5}$/i,
+    ],
+  })],
+  plugins: [
+    new ExtractTextPlugin('server.css') // extract css files into server.css bundle
+  ],
+  ...
+  module: {
+    rules: [
+      ...
+      {
+        test: /\.css$/,
+        use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
+          use: [
+            { loader: 'css-loader', options: {sourceMap: true} }
+          ]
+        })
+      },
+      ...
+    ]
+  }
+};
+```
