Mini CSS Extract Plugin is a Webpack plugin that extracts CSS into separate files, creating a dedicated CSS file for each entry point which contains CSS. This is useful when your CSS is relatively large, as it can result in faster initial load times for your web application because the browser can cache the CSS files separately from the JavaScript bundles.
Version 2.6.1 was released on June 15, 2022, introducing some updates compared to version 2.6.0 released on March 3, 2022.
