```pcss
html {
overflow: hidden auto;
}
/* becomes */
html {
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
overflow: hidden auto;
}
```
## Usage
Add [PostCSS Overflow Shorthand] to your project:
```bash
npm install postcss postcss-overflow-shorthand --save-dev
```
Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:
```js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssOverflowShorthand = require('postcss-overflow-shorthand');
postcss([
postcssOverflowShorthand(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
```
[PostCSS Overflow Shorthand] 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 `overflow` declaration is
preserved. By default, it is preserved.
```js
postcssOverflowShorthand({ preserve: false })
```
```pcss
html {
overflow: hidden auto;
}
/* becomes */
html {
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
}
```
