# typed-css-modules-webpack-plugin ![Node.js CI](https://github.com/dropbox/typed-css-modules-webpack-plugin/workflows/Node.js%20CI/badge.svg)

This is a Webpack plugin to generate TypeScript typing declarations for a TypeScript + CSS Modules
project. The plugin generates `.css.d.ts` file co-located with the corresponding `.css` file before
compilation phase so all CSS imports in TypeScript source code type check.

This plugin is different from [typings-for-css-modules-loader][1] and [dts-css-modules-loader][2] in
that it generates the typings **before** loaders process source files during the compilation. That
means your TypeScript loader will type check the **up-to-date** typing definitions of your CSS modules.

# Installation

```
yarn add --dev typed-css-modules-webpack-plugin
# Or if you use npm
npm install --save-dev typed-css-modules-webpack-plugin
```

# Usage

A minimal TypeScript + CSS Modules Webpack configuration would look like this:

```javascript
const path = require('path');
const {TypedCssModulesPlugin} = require('typed-css-modules-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  entry: './src/index.ts',
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: 'bundle.js',
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.tsx?$/,
        loader: 'ts-loader',
      },
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: [
          'style-loader',
          // Use CSS Modules
          {
            loader: 'css-loader',
            options: {
              modules: true,
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
  // Generate typing declarations for all CSS files under `src/` directory.
  plugins: [
    new TypedCssModulesPlugin({
      globPattern: 'src/**/*.css',
    }),
  ],
};
```

Other than emitting the JS bundle, the build would produce the side-effect of generating `.css.d.ts`
files for all `.css` files in `src/` directory.

# Options

The available options for the plugin are:

## `globPattern: string`

This is the glob pattern used to match CSS Modules in the project. The plugin only generates `.d.ts`
for the matching CSS files. See [node-glob](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob) for the pattern
syntax.

## `postCssPlugins?: Plugin[] | (defaults: Plugin[]) => Plugin[]`

This field is optional. If specified, the plugin would use the specified PostCSS plugin to transform
CSS files instead of the default
[`css-modules-loader-core`](https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules-loader-core) plugins.

If a function is supplied, it will be called with the default plugin list. This is useful if you
chain a `postcss-loader` before `css-loader` for some custom transformations. For example:

```javascript
// In CSS rules
[
  // ...
  {
    loader: 'css-loader',
    options: {
      modules: true,
      importLoaders: 1,
    },
  },
  // Some PostCSS transformations applied before css-loader
  {
    loader: 'postcss-loader',
    options: {
      plugins: () => [require('postcss-theme')({themePath: './theme'})],
    },
  },
];
```

Now to ensure CSS Modules recognize the custom syntax, we can inject the same transform in the
plugin options:

```javascript
new TypedCSSModulesPlugin({
  globPattern: '**/*.css',
  postCssPlugins: defaultPlugins => [
    require('postcss-theme')({themePath: './theme'}),
    ...defaultPlugins,
  ],
});
```

## `camelCase?: boolean`

This field is optional. When set to `true` the CSS field definitions will be emitted using camel case naming conventions. When `undefined` or `false` the CSS field definitions will be emitted verbatim.

## `rootDir?: string`

This field is optional. Project root directory (default: `process.cwd()`).

## `searchDir?: string`

This field is optional. Directory which includes target `*.css` files (default: `'./'`).

## `outDir?: string`

This field is optional. Output directory (default: `option.searchDir`).
