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 and dts-css-modules-loader 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.

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

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

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.

The available options for the plugin are:

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 for the pattern syntax.

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 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:

// 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:

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