|
PostCSS is a tool for transforming styles with JS plugins.
|
|||
|
These plugins can lint your CSS, support variables and mixins,
|
|||
|
transpile future CSS syntax, inline images, and more.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
PostCSS is used by industry leaders including Wikipedia, Twitter, Alibaba,
|
|||
|
and JetBrains. The [Autoprefixer] PostCSS plugin is one of the most popular
|
|||
|
CSS processors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
PostCSS takes a CSS file and provides an API to analyze and modify its rules
|
|||
|
(by transforming them into an [Abstract Syntax Tree]).
|
|||
|
This API can then be used by [plugins] to do a lot of useful things,
|
|||
|
e.g. to find errors automatically insert vendor prefixes.

## Plugins
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Currently, PostCSS has more than 200 plugins. You can find all of the plugins
|
|||
|
in the [plugins list] or in the [searchable catalog]. Below is a list
|
|||
|
of our favorite plugins — the best demonstrations of what can be built
|
|||
|
on top of PostCSS.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you have any new ideas, [PostCSS plugin development] is really easy.

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Solve Global CSS Problem
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-use`] allows you to explicitly set PostCSS plugins within CSS
|
|||
|
and execute them only for the current file.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-modules`] and [`react-css-modules`] automatically isolate
|
|||
|
selectors within components.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-autoreset`] is an alternative to using a global reset
|
|||
|
that is better for isolatable components.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-initial`] adds `all: initial` support, which resets
|
|||
|
all inherited styles.
|
|||
|
* [`cq-prolyfill`] adds container query support, allowing styles that respond
|
|||
|
to the width of the parent.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Use Future CSS, Today
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|||
|
* [`postcss-preset-env`] allows you to use future CSS features today.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
and mixins.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-sorting`] sorts the content of rules and at-rules.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-utilities`] includes the most commonly used shortcuts and helpers.
|
|||
|
* [`short`] adds and extends numerous shorthand properties.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-assets`] inserts image dimensions and inlines files.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-sprites`] generates image sprites.
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
* [`postcss-inline-svg`] allows you to inline SVG and customize its styles.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-write-svg`] allows you to write simple SVG directly in your CSS.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Linters
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* [`stylelint`] is a modular stylesheet linter.
|
|||
|
* [`stylefmt`] is a tool that automatically formats CSS
|
|||
|
according `stylelint` rules.
|
|||
|

## Syntaxes
|

|
|
|||
|
PostCSS can transform styles in any syntax, not just CSS.
|
|||
|
If there is not yet support for your favorite syntax,
|
|||
|
you can write a parser and/or stringifier to extend PostCSS.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* [`sugarss`] is a indent-based syntax like Sass or Stylus.
|

|||
|
* [`postcss-jsx`] parsing CSS in template / object literals of source files.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-styled`] parsing CSS in template literals of source files.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-scss`] allows you to work with SCSS
|
|||
|
*(but does not compile SCSS to CSS)*.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-sass`] allows you to work with Sass
|
|||
|
*(but does not compile Sass to CSS)*.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-less`] allows you to work with Less
|
|||
|
*(but does not compile LESS to CSS)*.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-less-engine`] allows you to work with Less
|
|||
|
*(and DOES compile LESS to CSS using true Less.js evaluation)*.
|
|||
|
* [`postcss-js`] allows you to write styles in JS or transform
|
|||
|
React Inline Styles, Radium or JSS.
|
|||
|

## Usage
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You can start using PostCSS in just two steps:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Find and add PostCSS extensions for your build tool.
|
|||
|
2. [Select plugins] and add them to your PostCSS process.

### CSS-in-JS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The best way to use PostCSS with CSS-in-JS is [`astroturf`].
|
|||
|
Add its loader to your `webpack.config.js`:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
module.exports = {
|
|||
|
module: {
|
|||
|
rules: [
|
|||
|
{
|
|||
|
test: /\.css$/,
|
|||
|
use: ['style-loader', 'postcss-loader'],
|
|||
|
},
|
|||
|
{
|
|||
|
test: /\.jsx?$/,
|
|||
|
use: ['babel-loader', 'astroturf/loader'],
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
]
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Then create `postcss.config.js`:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
module.exports = {
|
|||
|
plugins: [
|
|||
|
require('autoprefixer'),
|
|||
|
require('postcss-nested')
|
|||
|
]
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[`astroturf`]: https://github.com/4Catalyzer/astroturf
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Parcel
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[Parcel] has perfect built-in PostCSS support. It already uses Autoprefixer
|
|||
|
and cssnano. If you want to change plugins, create `postcss.config.js`
|
|||
|
in project’s root:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
module.exports = {
|
|||
|
plugins: [
|
|||
|
require('autoprefixer'),
|
|||
|
require('postcss-nested')
|
|||
|
]
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Parcel will even automatically install these plugins for you.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Webpack
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Use [`postcss-loader`] in `webpack.config.js`:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
module.exports = {
|
|||
|
module: {
|
|||
|
rules: [
|
|||
|
{
|
|||
|
test: /\.css$/,
|
|||
|
exclude: /node_modules/,
|
|||
|
use: [
|
|||
|
{
|
|||
|
loader: 'style-loader',
|
|||
|
},
|
|||
|
{
|
|||
|
loader: 'css-loader',
|
|||
|
options: {
|
|||
|
importLoaders: 1,
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
},
|
|||
|
{
|
|||
|
loader: 'postcss-loader'
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
]
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
]
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Then create `postcss.config.js`:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
module.exports = {
|
|||
|
plugins: [
|
|||
|
require('precss'),
|
|||
|
require('autoprefixer')
|
|||
|
]
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[`postcss-loader`]: https://github.com/postcss/postcss-loader
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Gulp
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Use [`gulp-postcss`] and [`gulp-sourcemaps`].
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
gulp.task('css', () => {
|
|||
|
const postcss = require('gulp-postcss')
|
|||
|
const sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps')
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
return gulp.src('src/**/*.css')
|
|||
|
.pipe( sourcemaps.init() )
|
|||
|
.pipe( postcss([ require('precss'), require('autoprefixer') ]) )
|
|||
|
.pipe( sourcemaps.write('.') )
|
|||
|
.pipe( gulp.dest('build/') )
|
|||
|
})
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
[`gulp-postcss`]: https://github.com/postcss/gulp-postcss
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### npm run / CLI
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To use PostCSS from your command-line interface or with npm scripts
|
|||
|
there is [`postcss-cli`].
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```sh
|
|||
|
postcss --use autoprefixer -c options.json -o main.css css/*.css
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[`postcss-cli`]: https://github.com/postcss/postcss-cli
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Browser
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you want to compile CSS string in browser (for instance, in live edit
|
|||
|
tools like CodePen), just use [Browserify] or [webpack]. They will pack
|
|||
|
PostCSS and plugins files into a single file.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To apply PostCSS plugins to React Inline Styles, JSS, Radium
|
|||
|
and other [CSS-in-JS], you can use [`postcss-js`] and transforms style objects.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
var postcss = require('postcss-js')
|
|||
|
var prefixer = postcss.sync([ require('autoprefixer') ])
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
prefixer({ display: 'flex' }) //=> { display: ['-webkit-box', '-webkit-flex', '-ms-flexbox', 'flex'] }
|
|||
|
```

### JS API
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For other environments, you can use the JS API:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
const autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer')
|
|||
|
const postcss = require('postcss')
|
|||
|
const precss = require('precss')
|
|||
|
const fs = require('fs')
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
fs.readFile('src/app.css', (err, css) => {
|
|||
|
postcss([precss, autoprefixer])
|
|||
|
.process(css, { from: 'src/app.css', to: 'dest/app.css' })
|
|||
|
.then(result => {
|
|||
|
fs.writeFile('dest/app.css', result.css, () => true)
|
|||
|
if ( result.map ) {
|
|||
|
fs.writeFile('dest/app.css.map', result.map, () => true)
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
})
|
|||
|
})
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Read the [PostCSS API documentation] for more details about the JS API.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
All PostCSS runners should pass [PostCSS Runner Guidelines].

|
|||
|
* `syntax`: an object providing a syntax parser and a stringifier.
|
|||
|
* `parser`: a special syntax parser (for example, [SCSS]).
|
|||
|
* `stringifier`: a special syntax output generator (for example, [Midas]).
|
|||
|
* `map`: [source map options].
|
|||
|
* `from`: the input file name (most runners set it automatically).
|

### Treat Warnings as Errors
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In some situations it might be helpful to fail the build on any warning
|
|||
|
from PostCSS or one of its plugins. This guarantees that no warnings
|
|||
|
go unnoticed, and helps to avoid bugs. While there is no option to enable
|
|||
|
treating warnings as errors, it can easily be done
|
|||
|
by adding `postcss-fail-on-warn` plugin in the end of PostCSS plugins:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```js
|
|||
|
module.exports = {
|
|||
|
plugins: [
|
|||
|
require('autoprefixer'),
|
|||
|
require('postcss-fail-on-warn')
|
|||
|
]
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
