Runtime support #32
Comments
I think transpilation is not directly related to a polyfill. Doing a polyfill can be done by two ways:
In all situations, this doesn't seems to be directly related to the code of this plugin. |
I know it's not totally on topic, but I wanted to start a discussion about possible runtime support because I've personally heard it used as an argument for not using custom properties yet. It appears the Polymer team is exploring a runtime based solution themselves: https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/blob/0.8-preview/PRIMER.md#custom-css-properties |
We are using custom properties syntax only. That what people should understand. That said if they have a nice polyfill that would be cool. |

So what? This plugin is a fork for rework-vars, so I am aware of the entire discussion around this. I am leaving this issue open for people looking for option, but as said before, we can't handle this in postcss. |
Is it at least possible to read the var values inside of something like React? |
For that you should do the opposite: use the "variables" option to define your variables via javascript (so easily accessible in any js context). |
So, in that case do you need to import your webpack config to a JS context, or can you make a file with a default export that = the object that contains the values and just |
I think you just answered yourself with your last option ;) |
Haha. Indeed. // Colors.js
const colorConstants = {
PrimaryThemeColor: '#3acfb6',
SecondaryThemeColor: '#16a78f',
}
module.exports = colorConstants; // webpack.config.js
// ...
const colorConstants = require('./src/Themes/Colors');
// ...
customProperties({
preserve: true,
variables: colorConstants,
appendVariables: true,
}), |

I got a basic solution for this issue. It's a PostCSS plugin to generate a JS lookup map with rules that have declarations with custom CSS props. The idea is to only include this map if native custom CSS props are not supported. Then we loop through those rules, find the matching ones in |
New and improved CSS var shim with example, https://github.com/luwes/postcss-var-shim |
Some people like to play with fire. |
Have you thought at all about how we might be able to support custom properties being modified at runtime? That would get us closer to a higher fidelity transpilation/polyfill.
