We have an Angular 4 project that I've recently tried to upgrade to Angular 8. I followed the migration guide in Angular website, changed some of the syntaxes, and everything preventing project to be built. I faced the problem of my styles were not loading properly locally and not at all on Azure.
I found Webpack and tried to configure it, added style-loader, sass-loader, and css-loader.
Now when I'm running locally, I can see in the network tab in the browser that all styles are loading properly, but it only loads the default index.html file and not bootstrapping the application.
When I deploy the app on Azure, it loads other components, but none of the styles are loading. I spent 3 weeks on migration, nothing promising yet.

};Please note that the reason I've commented use[] in Webpack config was that it was throwing some postcss-loader exception and on an issue on Github found that some conflict will occur with default sass-loader and Webpack and you should remove them.
Here is the build config in angular.json

"dev": {

},
"production": {
"browserTarget": "projectName:build:production"
}
}
},I have imported all styles in styles.scss using @import statements. Just one thing I am not sure about is that I'm using Highcharts and getting some warnings during the build.
WARNING in ./node_modules/angular2-highcharts/dist/index.js
Module Warning (from ./node_modules/source-map-loader/index.js):
(Emitted value instead of an instance of Error) Cannot find source file '../src/index.ts': Error: Can't resolve '../src/index.ts'
Other than these, there is not compile/runtime error in the project.
Thank you for taking the time to read my problem. I appreciate any hint/tip.
