[PostCSS Focus Visible] lets you use the `:focus-visible` pseudo-class in
CSS, following the [Selectors Level 4 specification].
It is the companion to the [focus-visible polyfill].
[!['Can I use' table](https://caniuse.bitsofco.de/image/css-focus-visible.png)](https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-focus-visible)
```css
:focus:not(:focus-visible) {
outline: none;
}
/* becomes */
:focus:not(.focus-visible) {
outline: none;
}
:focus:not(:focus-visible) {
outline: none;
}
```
[PostCSS Focus Visible] duplicates rules using the `:focus-visible` pseudo-class
with a `.focus-visible` class selector, the same selector used by the
[focus-visible polyfill]. This replacement selector can be changed using the
`replaceWith` option. Also, the preservation of the original `:focus-visible`
rule can be disabled using the `preserve` option.
## Usage
Add [PostCSS Focus Visible] to your project:
```bash
npm install postcss-focus-visible --save-dev
```
Use [PostCSS Focus Visible] to process your CSS:
```js
const postcssFocusVisible = require('postcss-focus-visible');
postcssFocusVisible.process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions, pluginOptions */);
```
Or use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:
```js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssFocusVisible = require('postcss-focus-visible');
postcss([
postcssFocusVisible(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
```
[PostCSS Focus Visible] 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 defines whether the original selector should remain. By
default, the original selector is preserved.
```js
focusVisible({ preserve: false });
```
```css
:focus:not(:focus-visible) {
outline: none;
}
/* becomes */
:focus:not(.focus-visible) {
outline: none;
}
```
### replaceWith
The `replaceWith` option defines the selector to replace `:focus-visible`. By
default, the replacement selector is `.focus-visible`.
```js
focusVisible({ replaceWith: '[focus-visible]' });
```
```css
:focus:not(:focus-visible) {
outline: none;
}
/* becomes */
:focus:not([focus-visible]) {
outline: none;
}
:focus:not(:focus-visible) {
outline: none;
}
