Use output.cssFilename as default filename #1041
Description
Feature Proposal
Use output.cssFilename as default filename, I know cssFilename is used for experiments.css, but it would be great if it can also used for this plugin
Feature Use Case
module.exports = {
output: {
cssFilename: "[name]-[contenthash].css",
},
plugins: [new MiniCssExtractPlugin()]
}

We can do it, but I am afraid it will be breaking change right now

@alexander-akait What about making
config.output.cssFilenameas a fallback?If the
filenameis passed tonew MiniCssExtractPlugin({ filename }), it takes precedence, and we always use that, andconfig.output.cssFilenameis ignored.And if
config.output.cssFilenameis specified,mini-css-extract-plugincan fallback to that.And if neither is specified,
mini-css-extract-pluginfalls back to the built-in default.If we always prefer
filenameis passed tonew MiniCssExtractPlugin({ filename })(the highest priority), this should avoid breaking existing users.alexander-akait commentedon Dec 23, 2025
@SukkaW I am fine with it, but I would like to add
experiments.cssis mostly ready (around 95% things are implemented), so you can try to use built-in css solution (we are planning to finish it completely by January)SukkaW commentedon Dec 23, 2025
My current use case is having a shared webpack config (doing something like
module.exports = require('@acme/webpack').createWebpackConfig({ webpackExperimentalCss: boolean })) stuff, and I want to have multiple projects (no matter which css solution is used) with a consolidatedcssFilenameconfig in one place.As for this issue, I will create a PR implementing #1041 (comment) since you gave it a go.

@SukkaW Got it, I am fine with it, do you want to send a PR?
