How can I use CSS Modules with TypeScript?

To use CSS Modules with TypeScript, you need to set up your project with the right configurations. First, ensure you have the necessary packages installed, like css-loader and style-loader. Then, create a TypeScript declaration file for CSS Modules.

What should the declaration file look like?

The declaration file, typically named global.d.ts, should include the following code:

declare module '*.module.css';

This tells TypeScript to treat any imported CSS module as a module.

Can I use CSS Modules with React?

Yes, CSS Modules work great with React! You can import your CSS module like this:

import styles from './Component.module.css';

Then, you can use the styles in your component like className={styles.className}.

Are there any performance considerations?

Using CSS Modules can help with performance by scoping styles locally, reducing the chance of style conflicts. However, be mindful of the size of your CSS files and consider using tools like PurgeCSS to remove unused styles.
