PostCSS plugin to create smooth linear-gradients that approximate easing functions.
The syntax is <gradient-type>([ <direction>,]? <start-color>, <stop-color>) where
gradient-typeis one of the supported gradient typesdirectionshares syntax withlinear-gradientand is optionalstart-colorandstop-colorare css colors in any format
Note that it's exactly two colors and it doesn't support custom color stop locations.

Scrim is a custom easing inspired by Material Design text protection scrims
precision: 0.1is the default value and creates ~17 color stops. The demo uses 0.15 which creates ~11 color stops. I wouldn't recommending using anything above 0.2 as banding becomes very obvious.alphaDecimals: 3is the default number of decimals for alpha values and I wouldn't recommend changing it. Increase it for greater precision.

You can try it out by running npm install and gulp in the demo folder.
