Answer 1

You are using version 1.1.4 , so CSS Modules doesn't work by default ... above version 2.0, it works default by changing the css file name to name.module.css.

Answer 2

You do not need to eject.

Create React App supports CSS Modules right out of the box as of version 2, which is now stable.

Upgrade to v2 (react-scripts@latest) by running yarn upgrade react-scripts@latest or npm install --save react-scripts@latest.

You just have to create a file with the extension .module.css

For example:

.myStyle {
  color: #fff
}

Then you can use it like so:

import React from 'react'
import styles from './mycssmodule.module.css'

export default () => <div className={styles.myStyle}>We are styled!</div>
