 Is it possible to use custom inject name for CSS modules?

Yes, it's possible to customize the inject name for CSS Modules in Vue.js, allowing you to control the variable name used to reference the generated class names in your JavaScript code.

Here's how to achieve this:

1. Utilize the module option in vue-loader:

• Pass a configuration object with the inject property to the module option within your Webpack configuration:

JavaScript
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.module\.css$/,
        use: [
          'vue-style-loader',
          'css-loader',
          {
            loader: 'css-loader',
            options: {
              modules: {
                inject: 'myCustomClassNames', // Customize the inject name
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

2. Import the CSS Module:

• Import the CSS Module as usual, but use the custom inject name to access the generated class names:

JavaScript
import myCustomClassNames from './styles.module.css';

3. Apply Classes in Template:

• Use the imported object with the custom name in class bindings:

Code snippet
<template>
  <div :class="myCustomClassNames.container">
    <p :class="[myCustomClassNames.title, myCustomClassNames.bold]">Content</p>
  </div>
</template>

Visualizing the Process:

Benefits of Custom Inject Names:

• Clarify Code Intent: Use descriptive names that align with your component's purpose.

• Avoid Naming Conflicts: Prevent issues when multiple modules have similarly named classes.

• Improve Code Readability: Make it easier to understand which styles belong to which components.

Remember:

• Adjust the configuration based on your specific build setup.

• Customize the inject name to suit your preferences and project structure.

By leveraging custom inject names, you can enhance the organization and maintainability of your CSS Modules in Vue.js projects.
