css-modules-ts-definitions-loader

Webpack loader that generates TypeScript definition files for CSS Modules.

Installation

npm install --save-dev css-modules-ts-definitions-loader

Usage

css-modules-ts-definitions-loader generates TypeScript definition files (*.d.ts) from the output of css-loader with the modules and camelCase options enabled. It must come directly after css-loader (but before style-loader) in the Webpack config.

Note: Any CSS class names that are invalid TypeScript identifiers are filtered out. This includes invalid characters as well as class names that are reserved words in TypeScript.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: [ 
          'style-loader', // adds styles to the DOM
          'css-modules-ts-definitions-loader', // generates TypeScript type definition files
          {
            loader: 'css-loader', // converts CSS into CommonJS
            options: {
              modules: true,
              camelCase: true
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Example

Input file:

file.css

@value foo: red;

.bar {
  width: 100%;
}

.baz-qux {
  color: foo;
}

With the above configuration and input file, the loader would generate the following definition file:

file.css.d.ts

export const foo: string;
export const bar: string;
export const bazQux: string;

Preprocessing styles

This loader will also work with loaders that preprocess styles as long as the preprocessed files are passed to css-loader.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        use: [ 
          'style-loader', // adds styles to the DOM
          'css-modules-ts-definitions-loader', // generates TypeScript type definition files
          {
            loader: 'css-loader', // converts CSS into CommonJS
            options: {
              modules: true,
              camelCase: true
            }
          },
          'sass-loader' // compiles Sass to CSS
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
