Package Exports

postcss-molten

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

Readme

postcss-molten

Used for shorthand for molten leading calculations in font, line-height, margins and more.

Installation

Run npm install postcss-molten --save.
Add require("postcss-molten")() to your plugins array for PostCSS.

Recommended Usage

Based on the artical by Michael Riethmuller at Smashing Magazine.

Example 1 - Fluid Typography

html {
  font-size: 12rem;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 30rem) {
  html {
    font-size: molten(12 22 30 55 'rem');
  }
}

@media screen and (min-width: 55rem) {
  html {
    font-size: 22rem;
  }
}

Example of Usage

The plugin currently does not do any calculations of unit types. May add this feature in the future to make it easier to use. Below are example usage patterns both valid and invalid.

Valid Usage

html {
  /* With Commas */
  font-size: molten(16, 22, 30, 45, 'rem');
  /* Without Commas */
  line-height: molten(1.4 1.8 30 40 'rem');
}

h1 {
  /* Units Inline */
  font-size: molten(22em 36em 30em 45em);
  /* No Units, defaults to REM - Note: throws warning, but not error) */
  margin-bottom: molten(1.5 3.0 20 50);
}

p {
  /* Oddity - Only one unit needs specified as long as there
  are no conflicting units it will be used for all entries. */
  margin-bottom: molten(2rem 4 20 50);
}

Invalid Usage

blockquote {
  /* Invalid! - Do not mix units */
  font-size: (18rem 22rem 320px 720px);
  /* May add conversion in the future, with the goal to
  convert to rem if no unit specified in 5 param spot */
}

Notes

Make sure you include this plugin below postcss-cssnext plugin in your plugins array if you want to use var().
