According to a tweet by Dan Abramov, CSS modules support is there in create-react-app (CRA). One just needs to give extension of module.css to his stylesheets to enable the feature, but this is not working with me. I am having version 1.1.4 of react-scripts. How can I enable css modules with CRA? Thanks
You do not need to eject.
Create React App supports CSS Modules right out of the box as of version 2.
Upgrade to the latest (react-scripts@latest) version.
If you use yarn:
yarn upgrade react-scripts@latest
If you use npm:
npm install --save react-scripts@latest
Then you just have to create a file with the extension .module.css
For example:
.myStyle {
color: #fff
}
Then you can use it like so:
import React from 'react'
import styles from './mycssmodule.module.css'
export default () => <div className={styles.myStyle}>We are styled!</div>
To enable CSS module in to your app, you don't need to eject create-react-app. You can follow these simple steps described in this link to use CSS module in your project.
But in case if you ejected your create-react-app, then you must find file named
"webpack.config.js"
open this file and find this {test:cssRegex....etc} in line no. 391 and replace to this changes:
{
test: cssRegex,
exclude: cssModuleRegex,
use: getStyleLoaders({
importLoaders: 1,
modules: true,
localIdentName: '[name]__[local]__[hash:base64:5]'
}),
},
Open .js file and import statement like this
import cssStyleClassName from './MyApp.css';
Then this import statement allow you to do following changes in component tags like this
<div className={cssStyleClassName.styleName}></div>
styleName is what you defined in your MyAppStyle.css file
.styleName{
your properties here...
}
After eject your app, you must restart your local server, sometime changes don't get reflect.
Note In earlier version there were two generated file for production and dev separately. Now in current version one file named "webpack.config.js" file for which you need to concerned for changes. Thank you.
i am using 3.4.1 version of the react-scripts so here is my approach
npm run eject
2.Then you will get a config file , in that open webpack.config.jstest: cssRegex or just search cssRegextest: cssRegex,
exclude: cssModuleRegex,
use: getStyleLoaders({
importLoaders: 1,
sourceMap: isEnvProduction && shouldUseSourceMap,
}),
now after importLoaders:1, add modules:true, and just save the file.
5.Now you can restart the server using npm start and you will see your styles applied.
(if you already know them how to use)
here when I used [name]__[local]__[hash:base64:5]
because I got an error that
- options has an unknown property 'localIdentName'. These properties are valid:
object { url?, import?, modules?, sourceMap?, importLoaders?, localsConvention?, onlyLocals?, esModule? }
so I removed it and I just used modules:true
and it worked for me.
