classnames-loader | Webpack loader to automatically bind css | Build Tool library

React beginner here. My app uses create-react-app, and I'm pulling in react-slick for a carousel. I'm trying to follow the directions that are provided in the setup for react-slick, but the following doesn't work for me:

@import "~slick-carousel/slick/slick.css"; @import "~slick-carousel/slick/slick-theme.css";

I get the following error:

./src/components/Homepage.scss Module not found: Can't resolve '~slick-carousel/slick/slick.css' in '/Users/simon/Dev/frischideas/site-new/src/components'

It works if I add the css to index.html from the CDN, but I'd rather avoid that network call, as I believe it's affecting the rendering of the page on initial load.

I tried following the instructions for configuring create-react-app to use relative paths, but that wasn't working for me either. Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding, but I thought the ~ notation would allow me to import scss from a package in /node_modules.

Any suggestions/clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Update: adding the setup from my webpack.config file (most of which is the default from create-react-app).
