LESS output is always bundled into JS

See original GitHub issue

For CSS and SASS in create-react-app

development build (npm start), the css is bundled with the js files.
production build (npm build) , the css is chunked out into css files.

While using this plugin, the css is always bundled with the js files. Ideally this less plugin functions the same way the sass loader in CRA does, which would include extracting CSS from the js bundle and including it in css files.

No problem. Thanks for the package.

I was thinking, one interesting way to solve this particular issue, and to keep it entirely in sync with how the set of loaders supporting sass in official CRA work, is to…

have this plugin find and copy the sass loader section (output of getStyleLoader)
in that copy, just replace the sass-loader for less-loader
push that copy into the list of loaders (before file-loader)
