PostCSS

Installation

Import this plugin in your _config.ts file to use it:

import lume from "lume/mod.ts";
import postcss from "lume/plugins/postcss.ts";

const site = lume();

site.use(postcss());

export default site;

See all available options in Deno Doc.

Description

The PostCSS plugin loads and transforms your CSS files using the PostCSS processor.

Configuration

This plugin accepts a configuration object. The available options are:

• extensions: Array with the extensions of the files that this plugin will load. By default is [".css"].
• plugins: Array with the PostCSS plugins that you want to use.
• keepDefaultPlugins: Set true to append your plugins to the defaults, instead of replacing them.
• includes: An array of directories to search for the @imported files. By default it is ["_includes"]. Set false to disable it.

PostCSS Plugins

PostCSS uses the following plugins by default:

• postcss-nesting to give support to nested rules.
• postcss_autoprefixer to add automatically the vendor prefixes.

Use the property plugins to replace them. For example, to use the font-format-keywords plugin:

import postcss from "lume/plugins/postcss.ts";
import postcssFontFormatKeywords from "https://deno.land/x/postcss_font_format_keywords/mod.js";

site.use(postcss({
  plugins: [postcssFontFormatKeywords()],
}));

This will override the default plugins with yours. If you only want to add more plugins without removing the defaults, use the keepDefaultPlugins option:

// Add more postcss plugins without overriding the defaults
site.use(postcss({
  plugins: [postcssFontFormatKeywords()],
  keepDefaultPlugins: true,
}));

Includes

In addition to the default plugins, PostCSS also uses postcss-import, to inline the local @imports by looking in the _includes directory.

/* Import the CSS file from _includes/css/reset.css */
@import "css/reset.css";

/* Import the relative CSS file */
@import "./variables.css";

For convenience, this plugin won't be removed by your plugins (even if keepDefaultPlugins is set to false). But you can change the _includes directory or disable it completely with the includes option:

// Change the includes folder of CSS to _styles
site.use(postcss({
  includes: "_styles",
}));

// Disable the includes (the local @import's won't be inlined)
site.use(postcss({
  includes: false,
}));

The postcss filter

This plugin also registers the postcss filter so you can transform CSS code in the template engines. For example:

{% set css %}
  body::after {
    content: "Hello, the CSS world!";
  }
{% endset %}

<style>
  {{- css | postcss | safe -}}
</style>
