Package Exports

postcss-font-weights

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-font-weights) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Options

prefix

The prefix option determines the prefix applied to properties being processed (e.g. x for -x-font-weight). Wrapping dashes (-) are automatically applied.

custom

The custom option determines additional font weight keywords and numeric pairs (e.g. custom: { lite: 300 } for font-weight: lite to become font-weight: 300).
