Can styleguide style load via link tag instead of style tag? about styleguide

Yes, you can use single-spa-css to load css files that are in separate files. I'd like to switch over create-single-spa and vue-cli-plugin-single-spa over to use it rather than style-loader in production, but haven't done so yet. You can still do so though for your projects by modifying the webpack config to use https://webpack.js.org/plugins/mini-css-extract-plugin/ rather than style-loader.

single-spa-css is meant to use for single-spa app or parcel. But styleguide is of type utility and it doesn't make any sense to expose lifecycle methods(bootstrap, mount, unmount).

After some investigation, I've comed up with two solutions:

1. Export cssLifecycles from styleguide utility, then import and integrate them to one of exist application lifecycles which always actived.
2. Export cssLifecycles from styleguide utility, then register styleguide utility itself as application with activeWhen set to /

These two solutions work for me, I've chosed solution 1 after all, since it is weird to use utility as application. I've wonder if there any official recommend usage to combine single-spa-css with utility?

One option for utility modules is to use css browser modules, which are supported by systemjs. The css file would be a runtime static dependency of the systemjs bundle (a webpack external) and then the utility module can add it to the adopted stylesheets. I don't usually broadcast it as a solution because it requires some additional polyfilling for IE11 and the spec for CSS modules wasn't as far along in the standardization process as it is now. But that way would work well
