    scss: require('postcss-scss'),
    // syntax for parse less (non-required options)
    less: require('postcss-less'),
    // syntax for parse css blocks (non-required options)
    css: require('postcss-safe-parser'),
});
var autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer');
postcss([ autoprefixer ]).process(source, { syntax: syntax }).then(function (result) {
    // An alias for the result.css property. Use it with syntaxes that generate non-CSS output.
