CSS Modules with TypeScript: css-modules-typescript-loader

Created by: jednano

TypeScript users are flying blind when they import a CSS module. For example, if they type styles.foo they have no idea if .foo actually exists in the CSS module without manually checking the file.

This is not a great TypeScript experience.

I propose adding the css-modules-typescript-loader (or something similar) to emit type declarations for CSS modules on the fly.

It could be as simple as this:

  const loaders = [
    require.resolve('style-loader'),
    ...(useTypeScript && cssOptions.modules
      ? require.resolve('css-modules-typescript-loader')
      : []
    ),

What do you think?
