[PostCSS Custom Properties] lets you use Custom Properties in CSS, following
|
|
the [CSS Custom Properties] specification.
|
|
|
|
```pcss
|
|
:root {
|
|
--color: red;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
h1 {
|
|
color: var(--color);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* becomes */
|
|
|
|
:root {
|
|
--color: red;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
h1 {
|
|
color: red;
|
|
color: var(--color);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Add [PostCSS Custom Properties] to your project:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install postcss-custom-properties --save-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use [PostCSS Custom Properties] to process your CSS:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const postcssCustomProperties = require('postcss-custom-properties');
|
|
|
|
postcssCustomProperties.process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions, pluginOptions */);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const postcss = require('postcss');
|
|
const postcssCustomProperties = require('postcss-custom-properties');
|
|
|
|
postcss([
|
|
postcssCustomProperties(/* pluginOptions */)
|
|
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
[PostCSS Custom Properties] runs in all Node environments, with special instructions for:
|
|
|
|
| [Node](INSTALL.md#node) | [PostCSS CLI](INSTALL.md#postcss-cli) | [Webpack](INSTALL.md#webpack) | [Create React App](INSTALL.md#create-react-app) | [Gulp](INSTALL.md#gulp) | [Grunt](INSTALL.md#grunt) |
|

|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### preserve
|
|
|
|
The `preserve` option determines whether Custom Properties and properties using
|
|
custom properties should be preserved in their original form. By default, both
|
|
of these are preserved.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
postcssCustomProperties({
|
|
preserve: false
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```pcss
|
|
:root {
|
|
--color: red;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
h1 {
|
|
color: var(--color);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* becomes */
|
|
|
|
h1 {
|
|
color: red;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### importFrom
|
|
|
|
The `importFrom` option specifies sources where Custom Properties can be imported
|
|
from, which might be CSS, JS, and JSON files, functions, and directly passed
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
postcssCustomProperties({
|
|
importFrom: 'path/to/file.css' // => :root { --color: red }
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```pcss
|
|
h1 {
|
|
color: var(--color);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* becomes */
|
|
|
|
h1 {
|
|
color: red;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Multiple sources can be passed into this option, and they will be parsed in the
|
|
order they are received. JavaScript files, JSON files, functions, and objects
|
|
will need to namespace Custom Properties using the `customProperties` or
|
|
`custom-properties` key.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
postcssCustomProperties({
|
|
importFrom: [
|
|
'path/to/file.css', // :root { --color: red; }
|
|
'and/then/this.js', // module.exports = { customProperties: { '--color': 'red' } }
|
|
'and/then/that.json', // { "custom-properties": { "--color": "red" } }
|
|
{
|
|
customProperties: { '--color': 'red' }
|
|
},
|
|
() => {
|
|
const customProperties = { '--color': 'red' };
|
|
|
|
return { customProperties };
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See example imports written in [CSS](test/import-properties.css),
|
|
[JS](test/import-properties.js), and [JSON](test/import-properties.json).
|
|
|
|
### exportTo
|
|
|
|
The `exportTo` option specifies destinations where Custom Properties can be exported
|
|
to, which might be CSS, JS, and JSON files, functions, and directly passed
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
postcssCustomProperties({
|
|
exportTo: 'path/to/file.css' // :root { --color: red; }
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Multiple destinations can be passed into this option, and they will be parsed
|
|
in the order they are received. JavaScript files, JSON files, and objects will
|
|
need to namespace Custom Properties using the `customProperties` or
|
|
`custom-properties` key.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const cachedObject = { customProperties: {} };
|
|
|
|
postcssCustomProperties({
|
|
exportTo: [
|
|
'path/to/file.css', // :root { --color: red; }
|
|
'and/then/this.js', // module.exports = { customProperties: { '--color': 'red' } }
|
|
'and/then/this.mjs', // export const customProperties = { '--color': 'red' } }
|
|
'and/then/that.json', // { "custom-properties": { "--color": "red" } }
|
|
cachedObject,
|
|
customProperties => {
|
|
customProperties // { '--color': 'red' }
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See example exports written to [CSS](test/export-properties.css),
|
|
[JS](test/export-properties.js), [MJS](test/export-properties.mjs), and
|
|
[JSON](test/export-properties.json).
