I'm using CSS modules and by far everything was working great.
We started to use external UI library along with our own one, so I'm writing components like this:
<div className={styles['my-component']}>
<ExternalUIComponent />
</div>
Assuming that the ExternalUIComponent
has its own class that in the final CSS file looks like this external-ui-component
, how can I make adjust this component styling from my css
file? The below example does not work:
.my-component {
font-size: 1em;
}
.my-component .external-ui-component {
padding: 16px;
// Some other styling adjustments here
}
Please do not use inline styles as someone else suggested. Stay away from inline styles as much as you can because they can cause unnecessary re-renders.
You should use global
instead.
.my-component {
:global {
.external-ui-component {
padding: 16px;
// Some other styling adjustments here
}
}
}

Also, I recommend using camel case style names which is the preferred way for css-modules.
So your class name would be : .myComponent { ... }
And you can use it in your code as
<div className={ styles.myComponent } >
If you wanted to add more styles , you can use the array.join(' ')
syntax.
<div className={ [ styles.myComponent, styles.anotherStyle ].join(' ') } >
This is cleaner!
Did you try inline styles for that component ?
https://reactjs.org/docs/dom-elements.html#style
const divStyle = {
color: 'blue',
backgroundImage: 'url(' + imgUrl + ')',
};
function HelloWorldComponent() {
return <div style={divStyle}>Hello World!</div>;
}
