+# typings-for-css-modules-loaderg
+
+Webpack loader that works as a css-loader drop-in replacement to generate TypeScript typings for CSS modules on the fly
+
+## Installation
+
+Install via npm `npm install --save-dev typings-for-css-modules-loader`
+
+## Usage
+
+Keep your `webpack.config` as is just instead of using `css-loader` use `typings-for-css-modules-loader`
+*its important you keep all the params that you used for the css-loader before, as they will be passed along in the process*
+
+before:
+```js
+webpackConfig.module.loaders: [
+    { test: /\.css$/, loader: 'css?modules' }
+    { test: /\.scss$/, loader: 'css?modules&sass' }
+];
+```
+
+after:
+```js
+webpackConfig.module.loaders: [
+    { test: /\.css$/, loader: 'typings-for-css-modules?modules' }
+    { test: /\.scss$/, loader: 'typings-for-css-modules?modules&sass' }
+];
+```
+
+## Example
+
+Imagine you have a file `~/my-project/src/component/MyComponent/component.scss` in your project with the following content:
+```
+.some-class {
+  // some styles
+  &.someOtherClass {
+    // some other styles
+  }
+  &-sayWhat {
+    // more styles
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Adding the `typings-for-css-modules-loader` will generate a file `~/my-project/src/component/MyComponent/mycomponent.scss.d.ts` that has the following content:
+```
+export interface IMyComponentScss {
+  'some-class': string;
+  'someOtherClass': string;
+  'some-class-sayWhat': string;
+}
+declare const styles: IMyComponentScss;
+
+export default styles;
+```
+
+### Example in Visual Studio Code
+![typed-css-modules](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/749171/16340497/c1cb6888-3a28-11e6-919b-f2f51a282bba.gif)
+
+## Support
+
+As the loader just acts as an intermediary it can handle all kind of css preprocessors (`sass`, `scss`, `stylus`, `less`, ...).
+The only requirement is that those preprocessors have proper webpack loaders defined - meaning they can already be loaded by webpack anyways.
+
+## Requirements
+
+The loader uses `css-loader`(https://github.com/webpack/css-loader) under the hood. Thus it is a peer-dependency and the expected loader to create CSS Modules.
+
+## Known issues
+
+ - There may be a lag or a reload necessary when adding a new style-file to your project as the typescript loader may take a while to "find" the new typings file.
