How can I configure CSS modules to style my visual with react - powerbi-visuals-api
How can I access "styles.title" like the example below?
import * as React from "react";
import styles from "./styles.module.css";
export class Visual implements IVisual {
constructor(options: VisualConstructorOptions) {
const element = document.createElement("div");
element.className = styles.title;
element.innerText = "Hello, Power BI!";
options.element.appendChild(element);
}
}
I am using "powerbi-visuals-api": "5.11.0"
I changed the property "esModules" to false, which works for me.
{ test: /\.css$/, include: /\.module\.css$/, exclude: /node_modules/, use: [ 'style-loader', { loader: 'css-loader', options: { esModule: false, modules: { localIdentName: '[name]__[local]__[hash:base64:5]' } }, }, ], }

Hi, Túlio
Thanks for your detailed explanation, I am more than willing to help you out.
As far as I understand, if you want to go through a custom CSS file, I hope you can check if it meets the requirements of the custom visual.
Here are the relevant documents I found that I hope will help you:
Create a React-based visual for Power . - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Get your Power BI visuals certified - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Of course, if you only want to implement custom visuals in Desktop, you can try to find out if there are similar custom visuals in your app that can run your CSS files.
For the issue you mentioned, it would be more advisable to post your question in Custom Visuals Development community to get professional support in time.We've now moved your question to that forum.Here is the link to the forum you need:

You need to make sure your project has the dependencies required by CSS modules installed. You may need the css-loader dependency required by Webpack. Here is the code to install the corresponding dependencies:
npm install css-loader style-loader --save-devModify your Webpack configuration to support CSS modules:
module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.css$/, use: [ { loader: 'style-loader' }, { loader: 'css-loader', options: { modules: true } } ] } ] } };Create a CSS Modules file:
/* styles.module.css */ .title { color: blue; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; }In your React component or Power BI visual, import the CSS module:
import * as React from "react"; import styles from "./styles.module.css"; export class Visual implements IVisual { constructor(options: VisualConstructorOptions) { const element = document.createElement("div"); element.className = styles.title; // This accesses the .title class from your CSS module element.innerText = "Hello, Power BI!"; options.element.appendChild(element); } }When you set element.className to styles.title , it applies the styles defined in the CSS module to that element. The class name is automatically scoped to avoid conflicts with other styles.

This is not working for me. I'm still not able to import it as
import styles from "./styles.module.css";
Is there some other solution?
