A browserify transform to load CSS Modules.
Please note that this is still highly experimental.
Normally you need to use a strict naming convention like BEM to ensure that one component's CSS doesn't collide with another's. CSS Modules are locally scoped, which allows you to use names that are meaningful within the context of the component, without any danger of name collision.
Read Mark Dalgleish's excellent "End of Global CSS" and check out css-modules for more context.
First install the package: npm install --save css-modulesify
Then you can use it as a browserify plugin, eg: browserify -p [ css-modulesify -o dist/main.css ] example/index.js
Inside example/index.js you can now load css into your scripts. When you do var box1 = require('./box1.css'), box1 will be an object to lookup the localized classname for one of the selectors in that file.
So to apply a class to an element you can do something like:
var styles = require('./styles.css');
var div = `<div class="${styles.inner}">...</div>`;The generated css will contain locally-scoped versions of any css you have require'd, and will be written out to the file you specify in the --output or -o option.
An example implementation can be found here.
