[PostCSS OKLab Function] lets you use `oklab` and `oklch` color functions in
CSS, following the [CSS Color] specification.
```pcss
.test-oklab {
color: oklab(40% 0.001236 0.0039);
}
.test-oklch {
color: oklch(40% 0.268735435 34.568626);
}
/* becomes */
.test-oklab {
color: rgb(73, 71, 69);
color: color(display-p3 0.28515 0.27983 0.27246);
}
.test-oklch {
color: rgb(131, 28, 0);
color: color(display-p3 0.49163 0.11178 0.00000);
}
```
## Usage
Add [PostCSS OKLab Function] to your project:
```bash
npm install postcss @csstools/postcss-oklab-function --save-dev
```
Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:
```js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssOKLabFunction = require('@csstools/postcss-oklab-function');
postcss([
postcssOKLabFunction(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
```
[PostCSS OKLab Function] runs in all Node environments, with special
instructions for:
| [Node](INSTALL.md#node) | [PostCSS CLI](INSTALL.md#postcss-cli) | [Webpack](INSTALL.md#webpack) | [Create React App](INSTALL.md#create-react-app) | [Gulp](INSTALL.md#gulp) | [Grunt](INSTALL.md#grunt) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
## Options
### preserve
The `preserve` option determines whether the original notation
is preserved. By default, it is not preserved.
```js
postcssOKLabFunction({ preserve: true })
```
```pcss
.test-oklab {
color: oklab(40% 0.001236 0.0039);
}
.test-oklch {
color: oklch(40% 0.268735435 34.568626);
}
/* becomes */
.test-oklab {
color: rgb(73, 71, 69);
color: color(display-p3 0.28515 0.27983 0.27246);
color: oklab(40% 0.001236 0.0039);
}
.test-oklch {
color: rgb(131, 28, 0);
color: color(display-p3 0.49163 0.11178 0.00000);
color: oklch(40% 0.268735435 34.568626);
}
```
### enableProgressiveCustomProperties
The `enableProgressiveCustomProperties` option determines whether the original notation
is wrapped with `@supports` when used in Custom Properties. By default, it is enabled.
⚠️ We only recommend disabling this when you set `preserve` to `false` or if you bring your own fix for Custom Properties. See what the plugin does in its [README](https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/tree/main/plugins/postcss-progressive-custom-properties#readme).
```js
postcssOKLabFunction({ enableProgressiveCustomProperties: false })
```
```pcss
:root {
--firebrick: oklab(40% 0.234 0.39);
}
/* becomes */
:root {
--firebrick: rgb(133, 0, 67); /* will never be used, not even in older browser */
--firebrick: color(display-p3 0.49890 0.00000 0.25954); /* will never be used, not even in older browser */
--firebrick: oklab(40% 0.234 0.39);
}
```
### subFeatures
#### displayP3
The `subFeatures.displayP3` option determines if `color(display-p3 ...)` is used as a fallback.
By default, it is enabled.
`display-p3` can display wider gamut colors than `rgb` on some devices.
```js
postcssOKLabFunction({
subFeatures: {
displayP3: false
}
})
```
```pcss
.test-oklab {
color: oklab(40% 0.001236 0.0039);
}
.test-oklch {
color: oklch(40% 0.268735435 34.568626);
}
/* becomes */
.test-oklab {
color: rgb(73, 71, 69);
}
.test-oklch {
color: rgb(131, 28, 0);
}
```
## Out of gamut colors
Depending on the browser implementation out of gamut colors may be clipped, resulting in a different color.
Fallback values generated by [PostCSS OKLab Function] are always mapped to a close alternative in sRGB.
When setting `preserve` to `true` the original values will be used by some browsers and these may be clipped.
Certain browsers will have an incorrect color if this occurs.
If the plugin detects out of gamut colors it will emit a warning :
> "oklab(40% 0.234 0.39)" is out of gamut for "display-p3". When "preserve: true" is set this will lead to unexpected results in some browsers.
To resolve this warning you can use a color that is in gamut for `display-p3`.
