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.
