Angular 2: how to import your css file with Webpack without errors

Updated:

According to the Angular documentation load an external style file in a component is as easy as :

template: 
    ` 
        <h2>{{hero.name}}</h2> 
        <hero-team [hero]=hero></hero-team> 
        <ng-content></ng-content> 
    `, 
styleUrls: ['app/hero-details.component.css'] 

This configuration is challenging when you have building process that include Webpack. In our reference example application the call of the css file using styleUrl

@Component({ 
    selector: 'cv-experience', 
    templateUrl:'cv-experience.html', 
    styleUrls:['cv.css'] 
}) 

resulted in this error:

{'Uncaught Error: Expected 'styles' to be an array of strings. at assertArrayOfStrings (eval at <anonymous> '}

To solve the issue we had to migrate from Webpack 1.x to the new version 2 and call the css file with the following code:

    @Component({ 
        selector: 'cv-experience', 
        templateUrl:'cv-experience.html', 
        styles:[require('./cv.css').toString()] 
    }) 

This is the loader of Webpack

    { test: /\.css$/, loader: "style-loader!css-loader" }, 
    { test: /\.scss$/,loaders: ['style', 'css', 'postcss', 'sass'] }
