# PostCSS Preset Env [PostCSS][postcss] [![NPM Version][npm-img]][npm-url] [![Build Status][cli-img]][cli-url] [![Support Chat][git-img]][git-url] [PostCSS Preset Env] lets you convert modern CSS into something most browsers can understand, determining the polyfills you need based on your targeted browsers or runtime environments. ```bash npm install postcss-preset-env ``` ```pcss @custom-media --viewport-medium (width <= 50rem); @custom-selector :--heading h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6; :root { --mainColor: #12345678; } body { color: var(--mainColor); font-family: system-ui; overflow-wrap: break-word; } :--heading { background-image: image-set(url(img/heading.png) 1x, url(img/heading@2x.png) 2x); @media (--viewport-medium) { margin-block: 0; } } a { color: rgb(0 0 100% / 90%); &:hover { color: rebeccapurple; } } /* becomes */ :root { --mainColor: rgba(18, 52, 86, 0.47059); } body { color: rgba(18, 52, 86, 0.47059); color: var(--mainColor); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Droid Sans, Helvetica Neue; word-wrap: break-word; } h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { background-image: url(img/heading.png); } @media (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), (min-resolution: 192dpi) { h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { background-image: url(img/heading@2x.png) } } @media (max-width: 50rem) { h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; } } a { color: rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.9) } a:hover { color: #639; } ``` Without any configuration options, [PostCSS Preset Env] enables **Stage 2** features and supports **all** browsers. [![Transform with Preset Env][readme-transform-with-preset-env-img]][readme-transform-with-preset-env-url] [![Style with Preset Env][readme-style-with-preset-env-img]][readme-style-with-preset-env-url] ## Usage Add [PostCSS Preset Env] to your project: ```bash npm install postcss-preset-env --save-dev ``` Use [PostCSS Preset Env] to process your CSS: ```js const postcssPresetEnv = require('postcss-preset-env'); postcssPresetEnv.process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions, pluginOptions */); ``` Or use it as a [PostCSS] plugin: ```js const postcss = require('postcss'); const postcssPresetEnv = require('postcss-preset-env'); postcss([ postcssPresetEnv(/* pluginOptions */) ]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */); ``` [PostCSS Preset Env] 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 ### stage The `stage` option determines which CSS features to polyfill, based upon their stability in the process of becoming implemented web standards. ```js postcssPresetEnv({ stage: 0 }) ``` The `stage` can be `0` (experimental) through `4` (stable), or `false`. Setting `stage` to `false` will disable every polyfill. Doing this would only be useful if you intended to exclusively use the [`features`](#features) option. Without any configuration options, [PostCSS Preset Env] enables **Stage 2** features. ### features The `features` option enables or disables specific polyfills by ID. Passing `true` to a specific feature ID will enable its polyfill, while passing `false` will disable it. ```js postcssPresetEnv({ /* use stage 3 features + css nesting rules */ stage: 3, features: { 'nesting-rules': true } }) ``` Passing an object to a specific feature ID will both enable and configure it. ```js postcssPresetEnv({ /* use stage 3 features + css color-mod (warning on unresolved) */ stage: 3, features: { 'color-mod-function': { unresolved: 'warn' } } }) ``` Any polyfills not explicitly enabled or disabled through `features` are determined by the [`stage`](#stage) option. ### browsers The `browsers` option determines which polyfills are required based upon the browsers you are supporting. [PostCSS Preset Env] supports any standard [browserslist] configuration, which can be a `.browserslistrc` file, a `browserslist` key in `package.json`, or `browserslist` environment variables. The `browsers` option should only be used when a standard browserslist configuration is not available. ```js postcssPresetEnv({ browsers: 'last 2 versions' }) ``` If not valid browserslist configuration is specified, the [default browserslist query](https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist#queries) will be used. ### insertBefore / insertAfter The `insertBefore` and `insertAfter` keys allow you to insert other PostCSS plugins into the chain. This is only useful if you are also using sugary PostCSS plugins that must execute before or after certain polyfills. Both `insertBefore` and `insertAfter` support chaining one or multiple plugins. ```js import postcssSimpleVars from 'postcss-simple-vars'; postcssPresetEnv({ insertBefore: { 'all-property': postcssSimpleVars } }) ``` ### autoprefixer [PostCSS Preset Env] includes [autoprefixer] and [`browsers`](#browsers) option will be passed to it automatically. Specifying the `autoprefixer` option enables passing [additional options](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer#options) into [autoprefixer]. ```js postcssPresetEnv({ autoprefixer: { grid: true } }) ``` Passing `autoprefixer: false` disables autoprefixer. ### preserve The `preserve` option determines whether all plugins should receive a `preserve` option, which may preserve or remove otherwise-polyfilled CSS. By default, this option is not configured. ```js postcssPresetEnv({ preserve: false // instruct all plugins to omit pre-polyfilled CSS }); ``` ### importFrom The `importFrom` option specifies sources where variables like Custom Media, Custom Properties, Custom Selectors, and Environment Variables can be imported from, which might be CSS, JS, and JSON files, functions, and directly passed objects. ```js postcssPresetEnv({ /* @custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em); @custom-selector :--heading h1, h2, h3; :root { --color: red; } */ importFrom: 'path/to/file.css' }); ``` 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 use different namespaces to import different kinds of variables. ```js postcssPresetEnv({ importFrom: [ /* @custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em); @custom-selector :--heading h1, h2, h3; :root { --color: red; } */ 'path/to/file.css', /* module.exports = { customMedia: { '--small-viewport': '(max-width: 30em)' }, customProperties: { '--color': 'red' }, customSelectors: { ':--heading': 'h1, h2, h3' }, environmentVariables: { '--branding-padding': '20px' } } */ 'and/then/this.js', /* { "custom-media": { "--small-viewport": "(max-width: 30em)" } "custom-properties": { "--color": "red" }, "custom-selectors": { ":--heading": "h1, h2, h3" }, "environment-variables": { "--branding-padding": "20px" } } */ 'and/then/that.json', { customMedia: { '--small-viewport': '(max-width: 30em)' }, customProperties: { '--color': 'red' }, customSelectors: { ':--heading': 'h1, h2, h3' }, environmentVariables: { '--branding-padding': '20px' } }, () => { const customMedia = { '--small-viewport': '(max-width: 30em)' }; const customProperties = { '--color': 'red' }; const customSelectors = { ':--heading': 'h1, h2, h3' }; const environmentVariables = { '--branding-padding': '20px' }; return { customMedia, customProperties, customSelectors, environmentVariables }; } ] }); ``` ### exportTo The `exportTo` option specifies destinations where variables like Custom Media, Custom Properties, Custom Selectors, and Environment Variables can be exported to, which might be CSS, JS, and JSON files, functions, and directly passed objects. ```js postcssPresetEnv({ /* @custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em); @custom-selector :--heading h1, h2, h3; :root { --color: red; } */ exportTo: 'path/to/file.css' }); ``` Multiple destinations can be passed into this option as well, and they will be parsed in the order they are received. JavaScript files, JSON files, and objects will use different namespaces to import different kinds of variables. ```js const cachedObject = {}; postcssPresetEnv({ exportTo: [ /* @custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em); @custom-selector :--heading h1, h2, h3; :root { --color: red; } */ 'path/to/file.css', /* module.exports = { customMedia: { '--small-viewport': '(max-width: 30em)' }, customProperties: { '--color': 'red' }, customSelectors: { ':--heading': 'h1, h2, h3' }, environmentVariables: { '--branding-padding': '20px' } } */ 'and/then/this.js', /* { "custom-media": { "--small-viewport": "(max-width: 30em)" } "custom-properties": { "--color": "red" }, "custom-selectors": { ":--heading": "h1, h2, h3" }, "environment-variables": { "--branding-padding": "20px" } } */ 'and/then/that.json', cachedObject, variables => { if ('customProperties' in variables) { // do something special with customProperties } Object.assign(cachedObject, variables); } ] }); ``` [cli-img]: https://img.shields.io/travis/csstools/postcss-preset-env/master.svg [cli-url]: https://travis-ci.org/csstools/postcss-preset-env [git-img]: https://img.shields.io/badge/support-chat-blue.svg [git-url]: https://gitter.im/postcss/postcss [npm-img]: https://img.shields.io/npm/v/postcss-preset-env.svg [npm-url]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/postcss-preset-env [autoprefixer]: https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer [browserslist]: https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist#readme [caniuse]: https://caniuse.com/ [cssdb]: https://cssdb.org/ [PostCSS]: https://github.com/postcss/postcss [PostCSS Preset Env]: https://github.com/csstools/postcss-preset-env [readme-style-with-preset-env-img]: https://csstools.github.io/postcss-preset-env/readme-style-with-preset-env.svg [readme-style-with-preset-env-url]: https://codepen.io/pen?template=OZRovK [readme-transform-with-preset-env-img]: https://csstools.github.io/postcss-preset-env/readme-transform-with-preset-env.svg [readme-transform-with-preset-env-url]: https://csstools.github.io/postcss-preset-env/
