Deprecation: #95349 - TypoScript: page.includeCSS/includeCSSLibs.import
=======================================================================

See :issue:`95349`

Description
===========

The option to use the :css:`@import` syntax for including
external CSS files through TypoScript has been marked as deprecated.

This was possible through:

.. code-block:: typoscript

    page = PAGE
    page.includeCSSLibs.file1 = fileadmin/benni.css
    page.includeCSSLibs.file1.import = 1

Through the "import = 1" option the output was

.. code-block:: html

    <style>
        @import url('fileadmin/benni.css');
    </style>


Impact
======

A PHP :php:`E_USER_DEPRECATED` error is triggered when having the :typoscript:`import = 1`
flag enabled in TypoScript on :typoscript:`includeCSS` or
:typoscript:`includeCSSLibs` properties.


Affected installations
======================

TYPO3 installations with the TypoScript settings

:typoscript:`page.includeCSS.aFile.import = 1`
:typoscript:`page.includeCSSLibs.aFile.import = 1`

enabled are affected.


Migration
=========

Using the :html:`<link>` tag syntax, which is the de-facto standard syntax these days,
allows to load a file directly when interpreting the HTML of the
browser, instead of first interpreting the HTML, then the CSS
and have a blocking call to an external URL to continue interpreting the CSS.

It is recommended to use the :html:`<link>` tag or create a inlineCSS TypoScript
manually to load such a file with the :css:`@import` syntax.
