Using CSS modules with Meteor


The first step is to install a package to support the CSS modules:

 >> meteor add nathantreid:css-module.

In the components folder, create a NavBar subdirectory where we'll create the NavBar component.

In the index.js file , we will import and export the component:

import NavBar from './NavBar'
export default NavBar;

We will define the NavBar as a presentational component that will get an array of links as props and render them. As a presentational component, that is the only thing it will do:

import React from 'react'
import {Link} from 'react-router'
import styles from './style.css'
class NavBar extends React.Component {
   constructor(props) {
   super(props);
 }
 render() {
   const {links} = this.props;
 return (
   <nav className="navbar navbar-light bg-faded">
    <ul className="nav navbar-nav">
       {links.map((name, index) => {
         return <li className={'nav-item'} key={index}>{name}</li>;
       })}
   </ul>...
