Not able to access the animate.css's animation keyframe names from scss file

I'm trying to use animate.css with React/Next.js. I can create animations using animate.css's inline class names, but I want to call animate.css's keyframe animations from my scss file. I was following a youtube guide and he was able to do it. The only difference is that I'm using Next.js.

As a reference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESHaail1eGc&t=4379s&ab_channel=CodewithSloba

He imports the animate.css file at 3:55 and and is able to use animate.css's bounceIn animation at 38:31.

Example:

In my styles/globals.scss file, I added animate.css

@import 'animate.css'

In my AnimateLetters.tsx file, at the top I import the scss module,

import styles from '../../styles/AnimatedLetters.module.scss'

In the same file and inside the React component,

This works for me:

<span className='animate__animated animated__bounceIn'> H </span>

But this doesn't:

<span className={styles.animateText}> H </span>

In my AnimatedLetters.module.scss, I have

.animateText {
  display: inline-block;
  animation-name: bounceIn;
  animation-duration: 2s
}

A hacky way of getting by this is finding the keyframe inside the node_modules/animate.css/animate.css file and then copying it into my scss file, like below:

@keyframes bounceIn {
  from,
  20%,
  40%,
  60%,
  80%,
  to {
    -webkit-animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.215, 0.61, 0.355, 1);
    animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.215, 0.61, 0.355, 1);
  }

  0% {
    opacity: 0;
    -webkit-transform: scale3d(0.3, 0.3, 0.3);
    transform: scale3d(0.3, 0.3, 0.3);
  }

  20% {
    -webkit-transform: scale3d(1.1, 1.1, 1.1);
    transform: scale3d(1.1, 1.1, 1.1);
  }

  40% {
    -webkit-transform: scale3d(0.9, 0.9, 0.9);
    transform: scale3d(0.9, 0.9, 0.9);
  }

  60% {
    opacity: 1;
    -webkit-transform: scale3d(1.03, 1.03, 1.03);
    transform: scale3d(1.03, 1.03, 1.03);
  }

  80% {
    -webkit-transform: scale3d(0.97, 0.97, 0.97);
    transform: scale3d(0.97, 0.97, 0.97);
  }

  to {
    opacity: 1;
    -webkit-transform: scale3d(1, 1, 1);
    transform: scale3d(1, 1, 1);
  }
}

I would prefer not to have to do this. Also, if I do resort to this, would it be best just to uninstall animate.css and just copy the keyframes I'm using into my global.scss?

Since the bounceIn animation is declared globally (i.e. imported from animate.css in your globals.scss), you have to use the :global selector when using it in your Sass Modules file. Otherwise, Sass Modules assumes bounceIn is locally scoped and will hash the animation name.

.animateText :global {
    display: inline-block;
    animation-name: bounceIn;
    animation-duration: 2s
}

/* or */

.animateText {
    display: inline-block;
    animation-duration: 2s
    &:global {
        animation-name: bounceIn;
    }
}

By default, CSS Modules assumes everything is locally scoped. If you want to access anything that's globally scoped you have to use :global.
