Package Exports

@gogors/postcss-lightningcss-rs
@gogors/postcss-lightningcss-rs/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@gogors/postcss-lightningcss-rs) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

postcss-lightningcss-rs

postcss-lightningcss-rs is a PostCSS plugin that combines CSS compression and transformation using lightningcss to compile and minify your CSS.

lightningcss is more than just a minifier; it can replace several PostCSS plugins such as autoprefixer.

This plugin is implemented based on the Rust version of lightningcss, with the entire wrapping process written in Rust.

Installation

yarn add -D postcss-lightningcss-rs

Usage

const postcss = require("postcss");
import { postcssLightningcssPlugin } from "postcss-lightningcss-rs";

postcss([postcssLightningcssPlugin(/* pluginOptions */)]);

Options

import { postcssLightningcssPlugin, Features } from "postcss-lightningcss-rs";

postcssLightningcss({
  // Enable minification (default: true)
  minify: true,

  // Mark unused symbols, which will be removed during minification
  unusedSymbols: ['foo', 'fade-in', '--color'],

  // Use a browserslist query to specify which browsers are supported and which features to compile
  targets: [">= .25%", "chrome 90"],
  // Always compile colors and CSS nesting even if the target supports them
  include: Features.Colors | Features.Nesting,
  // Do not add any vendor prefixes even if the target does not support them
  exclude: Features.VendorPrefixes,

  // Enable CSS modules for all files, default: false
  cssModules: true,

  // Individually enable various CSS draft syntaxes
  drafts: {
    // Enable CSS nesting (default: false)
    nesting: false,
    // Enable custom media queries (default: false)
    customMedia: false,
    // Enable deep selector combinator (default: false) to parse Vue/Angular >>> and /deep/ selector operators
    deepSelectorCombinator: false,
  },

  // Whether to ignore invalid rules and declarations instead of throwing an error. If enabled, warnings will be returned, and invalid rules or declarations will be omitted from the output code.
  errorRecovery: false,

  // Replace user action pseudo-classes with class names that can be applied with JavaScript.
  pseudoClasses: PseudoClasses,
});

Feature flags

The include and exclude options allow you to explicitly enable or disable certain features. These options override the defaults set based on the provided browser targets. For example, you might want to compile only colors and use other tools for autoprefixing or other features. Or, you might want to use Lightning CSS to handle everything except vendor prefixes.

The include and exclude options are configured using the Features enum, which can be imported from lightningcss. Multiple flags can be combined using bitwise OR operations to enable or disable them.

import { postcssLightningcssPlugin, Features } from 'postcss-lightningcss-rs';

let { code } = postcssLightningcssPlugin({
  // ...
  targets: [">= .25%", "chrome 90"],

  include: Features.Colors | Features.Nesting,
  exclude: Features.VendorPrefixes
});

unusedSymbols

If you know certain class names, IDs, @keyframes rules, CSS variables, or other CSS identifiers are unused, you can use the unusedSymbols option to remove them.

let { code } = postcssLightningcssPlugin({
  // ...
  minify: true,
  unusedSymbols: ['foo', 'fade-in', '--color']
});

With this configuration, the following CSS:

:root {
  --color: red;
}

.foo {
  color: var(--color);
}

@keyframes fade-in {
  from { opacity: 0 }
  to { opacity: 1 }
}

.bar {
  color: green;
}

is compressed to:

.bar{color:green}

Pseudo class replacement

Lightning CSS supports replacing CSS pseudo-classes with regular CSS classes, such as :focus-visible, which can be manipulated with JavaScript.

let { code, map } = transform({
  // ...
  pseudoClasses: {
    focusVisible: 'focus-visible'
  }
});

The above configuration will replace all occurrences of the :focus-visible pseudo-class with the .focus-visible class.

The following pseudo-classes can be configured in the same way:

hover – corresponds to the :hover pseudo-class
active – corresponds to the :active pseudo-class
focus – corresponds to the :focus pseudo-class
focusVisible – corresponds to the :focus-visible pseudo-class
focusWithin – corresponds to the :focus-within pseudo-class

CSS modules

Enable CSS modules

postcssLightningcss({
  cssModules: true,
});

You can also combine this with custom naming patterns:

postcssLightningcss({
  cssModules: {
    pattern: "my-company-[name]-[hash]-[local]",
  },
});
