PostCSS for Webpack Build Status

PostCSS loader for webpack to postprocesses your CSS with PostCSS plugins.

Sponsored by Evil Martians

Usage

Set postcss section in webpack config:

var autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer');
var precss      = require('precss');

module.exports = {
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test:   /\.css$/,
                loader: "style-loader!css-loader!postcss-loader"
            }
        ]
    },
    postcss: function () {
        return [autoprefixer, precss];
    }
}

Now your CSS files requirements will be processed by selected PostCSS plugins:

var css = require('./file.css');
// => CSS after Autoprefixer and CSSWring

Note that the context of this function

module.exports = {
    ...
    postcss: function () {
        return [autoprefixer, precss];
    }
}

will be set to the webpack loader-context. If there is the need, this will let you access to webpack loaders API.

Plugins Packs

If you want to process different styles by different PostCSS plugins you can define plugin packs in postcss section and use them by ?pack=name parameter.

module.exports = {
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test:   /\.docs\.css$/,
                loader: "style-loader!css-loader!postcss-loader?pack=cleaner"
            },
            {
                test:   /\.css$/,
                loader: "style-loader!css-loader!postcss-loader"
            }
        ]
    },
    postcss: function () {
        return {
            defaults: [autoprefixer, precss],
            cleaner:  [autoprefixer({ browsers: [] })]
        };
    }
}

Integration with postcss-import

When using postcss-import plugin, you may want to tell webpack about dependencies coming from your @import directives. For example: in watch mode, to enable recompile on change.

Here is a simple way to let know postcss-import to pass files to webpack:

var postcssImport = require('postcss-import');

module.exports = {
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test:   /\.css$/,
                loader: "style-loader!css-loader!postcss-loader"
            }
        ]
    },
    postcss: function (webpack) {
        return [
            postcssImport({
                addDependencyTo: webpack
            })
        ];
    }
}

Custom Syntaxes

PostCSS can transforms styles in any syntax, not only in CSS. There are 3 parameters to control syntax:

  • syntax accepts module name with parse and stringify function.
  • parser accepts module name with input parser function.
  • stringifier accepts module name with output stringifier function.

For example, you can use Safe Parser to find and fix any CSS errors:

var css = require('postcss?parser=postcss-safe-parser!./broken')
