PostCSS Modules Local by Default offers a streamlined approach to CSS Modules, automatically scoping class names locally unless explicitly declared global, simplifying CSS management in component-based architectures. Version 4.0.0 introduces notable upgrades, primarily revolving around its dependencies and development tooling. Significantly, it now requires PostCSS version 8.1.0 or higher as a peer dependency, marking a major version bump compatibility shift compared to version 3.0.3 which supported PostCSS version 7.0.32 and up. This change signifies an adoption of newer PostCSS features and improvements, potentially affecting existing projects relying on older PostCSS versions.
Furthermore, the dependency management sees an update changing the version of icss-utils, alongside the introduction of modern development dependencies such as Jest for testing (replacing Tape from 3.0.3), Husky and lint-staged for improved code quality workflows, ESLint with Prettier integration for code formatting, and Coveralls for coverage reporting. The shift reflects a commitment to contemporary testing and code quality practices. While the core functionality remains consistent, the updated dependencies and development tooling in version 4.0.0 provide developers with potentially enhanced performance, better integration with modern JavaScript ecosystems, and an improved development experience, though they must ensure compatibility with their existing PostCSS setup. Developers should also note the newer version introduces breaking changes when it comes to previously supported PostCSS version.
