Package Exports

postcss-custom-properties

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 (postcss-custom-properties) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

postcss-custom-properties

PostCSS plugin to transform W3C CSS Custom Properties for cascading variables syntax to more compatible CSS.

N.B. The transformation is not complete. It currently just aims to provide a future-proof way of using a limited subset (to top-level :root selector) of the features provided by native CSS custom properties.
Read #1 & #9 to know why this limitation exists.

Works great with postcss-calc.

Installation

$ npm install postcss-custom-properties

Usage

// dependencies
var fs = require("fs")
var postcss = require("postcss")
var customProperties = require("postcss-custom-properties")

// css to be processed
var css = fs.readFileSync("input.css", "utf8")

// process css using postcss-custom-properties
var output = postcss()
  .use(customProperties())
  .process(css)
  .css

Using this input.css:

:root {
  --color: red;
}

div {
  color: var(--color);
}

you will get:

div {
  color: red;
}

Checkout tests for more.

Options

`preserve` (default: `false`)

Allow you to preserve custom properties & var() usage in output.

var out = postcss()
  .use(customProperties({preserve: true}))
  .process(css)
  .css

`variables` (default: `{}`)

Allow you to pass an object of variables for :root. These definitions will override any that exist in the CSS.
