css modules :external support

[pavel06081991]

There is new feature in css modules, you can read about this here https://github.com/tivac/modular-css/blob/master/docs/features.md#overriding-styles
It is necessary for using some css selector from another css file.
Are you planning to add this feature in css-loader?

@pavel06081991 future css-loader don't have buildin css-modules, for this purpose we create new css-modules-loader/postcss-plugin-pack, but we will leave this issue here until it starts, then we will move this to related repo

@evilebottnawi, thank you for your answer. Maybe you know when new css-loader and css-modules-loader/postcss-plugin-pack will be released?

@evilebottnawi, maybe there are any updates? I've seen there is already new branch for new version of the loader, but the last commit was made long time ago.

Is anyone working on this? How can I help? I'd really like this functionality.

@amireldor yes, see webpack-contrib/postcss-loader#227 and webpack-contrib/postcss-loader#323
