# CSS Modules: Scope Locals & Extend
[](https://travis-ci.org/css-modules/postcss-modules-scope)
Transforms:
```css:local(.continueButton) { color: green;}```
into:
```css:export { continueButton: __buttons_continueButton_djd347adcxz9;}.__buttons_continueButton_djd347adcxz9 { color: green;}```
so it doesn't pollute CSS global scope and can be simply used in JS like so:
```jsimport styles from "./buttons.css";elem.innerHTML = `<button class="${styles.continueButton}">Continue</button>`;```
## Composition
Since we're exporting class names, there's no reason to export only one. This can give us some really useful reuse of styles:
```css.globalButtonStyle { background: white; border: 1px solid; border-radius: 0.25rem;}.globalButtonStyle:hover { box-shadow: 0 0 4px -2px;}:local(.continueButton) { compose-with: globalButtonStyle; color: green;}```
becomes:
```.globalButtonStyle { background: white; border: 1px solid; border-radius: 0.25rem;}.globalButtonStyle:hover { box-shadow: 0 0 4px -2px;}:local(.continueButton) { compose-with: globalButtonStyle; color: green;}```
**Note:** you can also use `composes` as a shorthand for `compose-with`
## Local-by-default & reuse across files
You're looking for [CSS Modules](https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules). It uses this plugin as well as a few others, and it's amazing.
## Building
```npm installnpm test```
