CSS map changes doesn't apply, if module was changed.
It's due all modules in node js exposed as cached objects.
All reference saved in require.cache.

This tiny helper, that we use for clear require.cache:

  /**
   * Clears node.js require cache by key.
   * @param {string} key Cache key.
   */
  function clearCacheKey (key) {
    delete require.cache[key];
  }

Yeah, that's true. Node.js caches all the require calls by default.
I assume you use this feature for the development needs only.

I think, I can add a check for the environment variable NODE_ENV and if it's equal to development, then clean cache from the require calls. Something similar to this: https://github.com/reactjs/express-react-views/blob/master/index.js#L59-L66

Yes, it's for development workaround. env var is good idea.

[markuplab]

@sullenor When you can fix it?

[mightyaleksey]

@markuplab I'll try tomorrow

[mightyaleksey]

Hey, everybody.
Thx, for great module!

I have some minor problem. Actually it`s not a problem at the moment, but think it could make some in future.

I'm talking about this https://github.com/reactjs/express-react-views/blob/master/index.js#L59-L66
Think NODE_ENV = "development" is very wide thing. And I would prefer something like this

var initHooks = require('css-modules-require-hook');
initHooks({
    generateScopedName: generateScopedName(config),
    extensions: config.extensions.styles,
    preprocessCss,
    processCss,
    debug: true // <------------------
});

to make cache cleaning sort of isolated. Just for that module. Without any influence to some other.
And this debug: true will make all that things that now are made by NODE_ENV="development"

Is that possible?

#56 add pr

[mightyaleksey]

Looks like you have a slightly different name of the option in the pr (devMode) :)

I don't mind to have a stronger option to control environment and I think its a good enhancement.

Sorry for the late response, I'll make the new version soon.

[yazonnile]

oops, my bad :)

I'll make the new version soon.

Wait for it. Good luck!

[mightyaleksey]

@yazonnile should be available for now. Check out 2.1.1

Thank you :)

[yazonnile]
