+## Using CSS Modules on the backend
+
+If you want to use CSS Modules in server-generated templates there are a couple of options:

+- Option A (nodejs only): register the [require-hook](https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules-require-hook) so that `var styles = require('./foo.css')` operates the same way as on the frontend. Make sure that the `rootDir` option matches to guarantee that the classnames are the same.
+
+- Option B: configure the `jsonOutput` option with a file path and `css-modulesify` will generate a JSON manifest of classnames.
