    from: 'path/to/src/file.css',
    to: 'path/to/dest/file.css'
  }
}

Options

parser:

'parser': 'sugarss'

syntax:

'syntax': 'postcss-scss'

stringifier:

'stringifier': 'midas'

map:

'map': 'inline'

from:

from: 'path/to/dest/file.css'

Context

When using a function (postcss.config.js), it is possible to pass context to postcss-load-options, which will be evaluated before loading your options. By default ctx.env (process.env.NODE_ENV) and ctx.cwd (process.cwd()) are available.

Example

const { readFileSync } = require('fs')

const postcss = require('postcss')
const optionsrc = require('postcss-load-options')

const sss =  readFileSync('index.sss', 'utf8')

const ctx = { sugar: true,  map: 'inline' }

optionsrc(ctx).then((options) => {
  postcss()
    .process(sss, options)
    .then(({ css }) => console.log(css))
}))
