React naming conventions for beginners

Naming components as "Home.module.css" is a convention for CSS Modules in React. Here's why:

  • ".module.css" suffix tells bundlers like webpack to treat it as a CSS Module.

  • It scopes styles to the component, preventing global namespace pollution.

  • Allows you to use simple class names without worrying about conflicts.

Benefits:

  • Local scoping

  • Reusable class names

  • Explicit dependencies

It's not mandatory, but it's widely adopted in React projects for its advantages in maintainability and modularity.
