I was having the same issue, I solved it by splitting the webpack's css loader rules into 2:
- Will include everything except node_modules, uses css modules. This will deal with internal css modules.
- Will only include node_modules, exclude /src. This will deal with semantic-ui and any other third-party library
The resulting rules on webpack.config.dev.js generated by CRA's eject script, would look like this:
// Internal CSS
// "postcss" loader applies autoprefixer to our CSS.
// "css" loader resolves paths in CSS and adds assets as dependencies.
// "style" loader turns CSS into JS modules that inject <style> tags.
// In production, we use a plugin to extract that CSS to a file, but
// in development "style" loader enables hot editing of CSS.
{
test: /\.css$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
use: [
require.resolve('style-loader'),
{
loader: require.resolve('css-loader'),
options: {
importLoaders: 1,
modules: true,
localIdentName: '[name]__[local]___[hash:base64:5]'
},
},
{
loader: require.resolve('postcss-loader'),
options: {
// Necessary for external CSS imports to work
// https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/issues/2677
ident: 'postcss',
plugins: () => [
require('postcss-flexbugs-fixes'),
autoprefixer({
browsers: [
'>1%',
'last 4 versions',
'Firefox ESR',
'not ie < 9', // React doesn't support IE8 anyway
],
flexbox: 'no-2009',
}),
],
},
},
],
},
// External CSS
{
test: /\.css$/,
include: /node_modules/,
exclude: /src/,
use: [
require.resolve('style-loader'),
{
loader: require.resolve('css-loader'),
options: {
importLoaders: 1,
},
},
{
loader: require.resolve('postcss-loader'),
options: {
// Necessary for external CSS imports to work
// https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/issues/2677
ident: 'postcss',
plugins: () => [
require('postcss-flexbugs-fixes'),
autoprefixer({
browsers: [
'>1%',
'last 4 versions',
'Firefox ESR',
'not ie < 9', // React doesn't support IE8 anyway
],
flexbox: 'no-2009',
}),
],
},
},
],
},
I don't think this answer is optimal, but certainly worked for me. Good luck
create-react-app. I'm familiar with CSS modules and have used it before, just not along with Semantic UI.:global{@import 'semantic.css'}, github.com/css-modules/css-modules#usage-with-preprocessors
