external library overriding component scoped classes in style

I have a modal component with scoped style like this

<style lang="scss" scoped>
  .modal-wrapper {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    display: flex;
    overflow-y: auto;

    .modal-container {
      position: relative;
      max-width: 634px;
...

<style lang="scss" scoped>
  .modal-wrapper {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    display: flex;
    overflow-y: auto;

    .modal-container {
      position: relative;
      max-width: 634px;
...

I was asked to integrate a library (via html script) that has an internal modal.
That library for some reason clashes with my component classes (modal-wrapper and modal-container)

The computed styles are both the library and component mixed together (like it's treating the component styles as global)

Hi @JuanMCe. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base.

----------------------
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some insights into your issue with scoped styles in Nuxt.

The problem you're experiencing where scoped styles are being treated as global and clashing with an external library's styles is not typical behavior for scoped styles in Vue/Nuxt components. Scoped styles should normally be applied only to the component they're defined in.

However, there are a few potential explanations and solutions to consider:

CSS Specificity: The external library's styles might have higher specificity, causing them to override your scoped styles. You could try increasing the specificity of your styles or using (though this is generally not recommended as a long-term solution).
CSS Modules: As an alternative to scoped styles, you could consider using CSS Modules, which are supported in Nuxt. According to the Nuxt documentation on CSS Modules, you can use them like this:

This approach generates unique class names, which might help avoid conflicts with the external library.

Nuxt Configuration: Check your Nuxt configuration to ensure you haven't accidentally disabled scoped styles. The Nuxt documentation on CSS shows how to configure global styles, but doesn't mention any option to disable scoped styles.
External Library Integration: The way the external library is integrated might be affecting how styles are applied. If possible, try to isolate the library's styles or use a more Nuxt-friendly integration method.

Recent Changes: There have been some changes to how Nuxt handles styles in recent versions. According to the Nuxt 4 upgrade guide, Nuxt now only inlines styles for Vue components, not global CSS. This change shouldn't directly affect scoped styles, but it's worth being aware of.

If none of these suggestions resolve the issue, you might need to investigate further. Consider creating a minimal reproduction of the problem and seeking help from the Nuxt community or filing an issue on the Nuxt GitHub repository.

I’m not sure how scoped styles can be treated as global. Sounds like the other way round, the styles from external lib are interfering with your scoped styles.

yeah you're right, the component was inheriting global classes from the library. feel dumb hehe
