# Scoped stylesheets with PostCSS example

This is an example of using scoped stylesheets and PostCSS, heavily influenced by @davibe's [`with-global-stylesheet`](https://github.com/zeit/next.js/tree/master/examples/with-global-stylesheet).

## How to use

### Using `create-next-app`

Download [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/segmentio/create-next-app) to bootstrap the 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):

```bash
curl https://codeload.github.com/zeit/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/with-scoped-stylesheets-and-postcss
cd with-scoped-stylesheets-and-postcss
```

To get this example running you must

    npm install .
    npm run dev

# 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.
