postcss-root-parse-var

Simple PostCSS plugin to add support for parse-var(), allowing a CSS variable to be parsed from :root or a selector of your choice.

Useful if a subsequent PostCSS plugin requires a static value to work on. This is not intended as a fallback for var().

Installation

yarn add postcss-root-parse-var --dev

Require postcssRootParseVar at the top of Webpack or Mix:

const postcssRootParseVar = require('postcss-root-parse-var');

Using Webpack

postcss([postcssRootParseVar]);

Using Mix Sass (Sage 10)

mix
    .sass('resources/assets/styles/editor.scss', 'styles')
    .options({
        postCss: [postcssRootParseVar]
    });

Config

Some config can be passed into postcssRootParseVar() in Webpack or Mix.

postcssRange({
    root: ':root',
    prefix: 'parse-var',
})

Usage

:root {
    --screen-md: 48rem;
    --screen-lg: 75rem,
}

.parse-var {
    font-size: range(2rem, 6rem, parse-var(--screen-md), parse-var(--screen-lg));
}

This will parse the root custom properties resulting in a static value for --screen-md and --screen-lg.

.parse-var {
    font-size: range(2rem, 6rem, 48rem, 75rem);
}
