# Scoped stylesheets with PostCSS example

```
npm i -g create-next-app
create-next-app --example with-scoped-stylesheets-and-postcss with-scoped-stylesheets-and-postcss-app
```

### Download manually

Download the example [or clone the repo](https://github.com/zeit/next.js):

# Why

Scoped CSS is neat and keeps your JS clean. PostCSS is amazing for extended features, such as nesting. CSS Modules keep your class names “local”.

# Known issues

Composed CSS files are not watched by next.js, and thus, if you change one, nothing will happen. You'll need to edit a JS file or the CSS file you're composing for it to hot reload.
