What if we will create pack around postcss-import with many optional things like prefix, extensions, glob etc.

How it could be named?

Options:

prefix

Type: String
Default: _

Add before imported filename.

@import "dir/partial" will look for dir/_partial.css with prefix: '_'

extensions

Type: Array or String
Default: .css

glob

Type: Boolean
Default: false

postcss-import-partial
postcss-import-glob
postcss-import-extensions

?

Idea is solid. 👍

[TrySound]

@ben-eb No, no. I mean plugin with a few new options which will be wrap postcss-import

postcssPackImport({
  partial: false,
  extensions: ['.css'],
  glob: true
})

Sounds weird and will create confusion imo.

[TrySound]

@MoOx postcss-import can be strict and spec followed but with extending ability. postcss-pack-import (or another name) will use postcss-import as a dependency and realise scss-like features without any complications. Just for lazy people.

Modularity celebration :)

I get your point, but most people are lazy.
Find a good name first, then we will talk :D.
Kidding.
What about postcss-easy-import ?

[TrySound]

Make sense.

Nice, can you make a PR to README and add a comment/link in 8.0 CHANGELOG section so we can close this issue?
Thanks a ton!

First, great work @TrySound! So, this is a wrapper to give postcss-import the functionality of postcss-partial-import? Honest question, if we could just refactor postcss-import, would the functionality belong in a separate plugin? PostCSS partial import was only created for PreCSS compatibility. I did not like the idea of (and I accept all the flack for) creating a separate plugin for nearly the same functionality.
