  445. <p name="d899" id="d899" class="graf--p graf--first">On <a href="https://github.com/webpack/css-loader/commit/d2c9c25721a711b0fe041c597b43646e82d9f145" data-href="https://github.com/webpack/css-loader/commit/d2c9c25721a711b0fe041c597b43646e82d9f145" class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" rel="nofollow">April 22, 2015</a>, <a href="https://github.com/sokra" data-href="https://github.com/sokra" class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" rel="nofollow">Tobias Koppers</a> — the ever tireless author of Webpack — committed the first iteration of a new feature to css-loader, at the time called <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">placeholders</em>, now known as <a href="https://github.com/webpack/css-loader#local-scope" data-href="https://github.com/webpack/css-loader#local-scope" class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" rel="nofollow">local scope</a>.</p>
  446. <p name="2794" id="2794" class="graf--p">This feature allows us to export class names from our CSS into the consuming JavaScript code.</p>
  447. <p name="3479" id="3479" class="graf--p">In short, instead of writing this:</p>
  448. <pre name="8c0d" id="8c0d" class="graf--pre"><strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">require</strong>('./MyComponent.css');</pre>
  449. <p name="2bd7" id="2bd7" class="graf--p">We write this:</p>
  450. <pre name="db53" id="db53" class="graf--pre"><strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">import</strong> styles <strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">from</strong> './MyComponent.css';</pre>
  451. <p name="130c" id="130c" class="graf--p">So, in this example, what does <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">styles </em>evaluate to?</p>
  452. <p name="d8a4" id="d8a4" class="graf--p">To see what is exported from our CSS, let’s take a look at an example of what our style sheet might look like.</p>
  453. <pre name="a4f1" id="a4f1" class="graf--pre"><strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">:local(.</strong>foo) {<br/> <strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">color</strong>: red;<br/>}</pre>
  454. <pre name="01b4" id="01b4" class="graf--pre"><strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">:local(.</strong>bar) {<br/> <strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">color</strong>: blue;<br/>}</pre>
  455. <p name="067a" id="067a" class="graf--p">In this case, we’ve used css-loader’s custom <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">:local(.identifier)</em> syntax to export two identifiers — <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">foo</em> and <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">bar</em>.</p>
  456. <p name="7aae" id="7aae" class="graf--p">These identifiers map to class strings that we can use in our JavaScript file. For example, when using <a href="http://facebook.github.io/react/" data-href="http://facebook.github.io/react/" class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" rel="nofollow">React</a>:</p>
  457. <pre name="4e34" id="4e34" class="graf--pre"><strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">import</strong> styles <strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">from</strong> './MyComponent.css';</pre>
  458. <pre name="fe30" id="fe30" class="graf--pre"><strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">import</strong> React, { Component } <strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">from</strong> 'react';</pre>
  459. <pre name="7c51" id="7c51" class="graf--pre"><strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">export default class</strong> MyComponent <strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">extends</strong> Component {</pre>
  460. <pre name="cced" id="cced" class="graf--pre"> <strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">render</strong>() {<br/> return (<br/> &lt;div&gt;<br/> &lt;div className={<strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">styles.foo</strong>}&gt;<strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">Foo</strong>&lt;/div&gt;<br/> &lt;div className={<strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">styles.bar</strong>}&gt;<strong class="markup--strong markup--pre-strong">Bar</strong>&lt;/div&gt;<br/> &lt;/div&gt;<br/> );<br/> }</pre>
  461. <pre name="14c7" id="14c7" class="graf--pre">}</pre>
  462. <p name="6f59" id="6f59" class="graf--p">Importantly, these identifiers map to class strings that are guaranteed to be unique in a global context.</p>
  463. <p name="05fe" id="05fe" class="graf--p graf--last">We no longer need to add lengthy prefixes to all of our selectors to simulate scoping. More components could define their own <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">foo</em> and <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">bar</em> identifiers which — unlike the traditional global selector model—wouldn’t produce any naming collisions.</p>
  464. <p name="e256" id="e256" class="graf--p graf--first">It’s critical to recognise the massive shift that’s occurring here.</p>
  465. <p name="8051" id="8051" class="graf--p">We can now make changes to our CSS with confidence that we’re not accidentally affecting elements elsewhere in the page. We’ve introduced a sane scoping model to our CSS.</p>
  466. <p name="0169" id="0169" class="graf--p">The benefits of global CSS — style re-use between components via utility classes, etc. — are still achievable with this model. The key difference is that, just like when we work in other technologies, we need to explicitly import the classes that we depend on. Our code can’t make many, if any, assumptions about the global environment.</p>
  467. <blockquote name="db73" id="db73" class="graf--pullquote pullquote graf--last">Writing maintainable CSS is now encouraged, not by careful adherence to a naming convention, but by style encapsulation during development.</blockquote>

Luckily, this is something that we can configure.</p><p name="b528" id="b528" class="graf--p">By default, css-loader transforms our identifiers into hashes.</p><p name="f6c6" id="f6c6" class="graf--p">For example, this:</p><pre name="98b2" id="98b2" class="graf--pre">:local(.foo) { … }</pre><p name="75ad" id="75ad" class="graf--p">Is compiled into this:</p><pre name="06d9" id="06d9" class="graf--pre">._1rJwx92-gmbvaLiDdzgXiJ { … }</pre><p name="679e" id="679e" class="graf--p">In development, this isn’t terribly helpful for debugging purposes.
