[](#frontend-assets)

The module ships with pre-compiled CSS in `client/admin/dist/`. The CSS is automatically loaded by the field when it is rendered.

If you want to modify the styles, recompile them:

### Prerequisites

[](#prerequisites)

```
nvm use 20
npm install
```

### Build

[](#build)

```
npm run build
```

This compiles `client/admin/src/scss/main.scss` → `client/admin/dist/bundle.css`.
