A Babel plugin that transforms React's styleName attribute into className at compile time using CSS module resolution. It offers much lower runtime overhead and bundle size than the runtime react-css-modules alternative.

Use cases

• use css modules in react without runtime overhead
• resolve styleName to className at build time
• speed up react css modules performance
• reduce bundle size compared to react-css-modules
• support dynamic styleName resolution in react components
• migrate from react-css-modules to a babel-based approach

When to choose

• you use React with CSS Modules and want minimal runtime cost
• you need a small footprint alternative to react-css-modules
• your build pipeline already uses Babel

When to avoid

• your project does not use Babel
• you need actively maintained software with timely bug fixes
• you use modern CSS Modules support built into bundlers like webpack or Vite
