Page specific css file and its usage

To implement page-specific CSS in a Next.js application, you can use CSS Modules, which allow you to scope CSS locally to the component rather than globally. This is particularly useful for applying unique styles that only affect a single page without risking style leakage across your application.

Step 1: Create a CSS Module

Create a CSS file with a module suffix, for example, BlogPage.module.css, in the same directory as your page component.

/* app/blog/BlogPage.module.css */
.container {
  max-width: 800px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 20px;
}

.title {
  color: #333;
  font-size: 24px;
}

.content {
  font-size: 16px;
  color: #666;
}
JavaScript

Step 2: Import the CSS Module in Your Page Component

Next, import this CSS module into your specific page component where you want to apply these styles.

// app/blog/page.tsx
import styles from './BlogPage.module.css';

export default function BlogPage() {
  return (
    <div className={styles.container}>
      <h1 className={styles.title}>Welcome to Our Blog</h1>
      <p className={styles.content}>Here you will find the latest updates and insights.</p>
    </div>
  );
}
JavaScript

Benefits of Using CSS Modules

  • Local Scope: CSS classes are locally scoped to the component and do not conflict with other styles in the application.
  • Maintenance and Refactoring: Easier to maintain and update styles without affecting other parts of the application.
  • Code Splitting: Next.js automatically code-splits CSS so that styles are only loaded when the component is rendered.
