Add support to CSS modules

[sheltondong]

Typescript can not recognize CSS file, so it self can't support CSS modules, when I type this:

import React from 'react';
import styles from './style.css';

const Button = () => {
     return (
         <button className={styles.myButtonClass}>click me</button>
     )
}

It will cause:

Cannot find module './style.css'.

Could you please add support for CSS modules?

This is already supported, see https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules.html#wildcard-module-declarations

in your case, you need to add something like the following in a globaltypes.d.ts (name not important), which you include in your project.

declare module "*.css" {
declare const css: string;
export = css;
}

Excuse me again, but how could I include wildcard modules into my project? This is my config:

"compilerOptions": {
    ...
    "typeRoots": ["./"],
    "types": ["global.d.ts"]
}  

And this is my definition:

declare module "*.css" {
    declare const css: string;
    export = css;
}

And I import CSS file:

import styles from './style.css!css';

It still doesn't work and will also yells me:

Cannot find type definition file for 'global.d.ts'.

// globals.d.ts
declare module "*.css!css" {
  const css: string;
  export default css;
}

Also note that adding the file to typeRoots is not necessary and may have unintended consequences as that property is generally only used for third party declarations.
