# PostCSS Custom Media [PostCSS Logo][postcss] [npm version][npm-url] [CSS Standard Status][css-url] [Build Status][cli-url] [Discord][discord] [PostCSS Custom Media] lets you define `@custom-media` in CSS following the [Custom Media Specification]. ```pcss @custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em); @media (--small-viewport) { /* styles for small viewport */ } /* becomes */ @media (max-width: 30em) { /* styles for small viewport */ } ``` ## Usage Add [PostCSS Custom Media] to your project: ```bash npm install postcss postcss-custom-media --save-dev ``` Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin: ```js const postcss = require('postcss'); const postcssCustomMedia = require('postcss-custom-media'); postcss([ postcssCustomMedia(/* pluginOptions */) ]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */); ``` [PostCSS Custom Media] 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 postcssCustomMedia({ preserve: true }) ``` ```pcss @custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em); @media (--small-viewport) { /* styles for small viewport */ } /* becomes */ @custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em); @media (max-width: 30em) { /* styles for small viewport */ } @media (--small-viewport) { /* styles for small viewport */ } ``` ### importFrom The `importFrom` option specifies sources where custom media can be imported from, which might be CSS, JS, and JSON files, functions, and directly passed objects. ```js postcssCustomMedia({ importFrom: 'path/to/file.css' // => @custom-selector --small-viewport (max-width: 30em); }); ``` ```pcss @media (max-width: 30em) { /* styles for small viewport */ } @media (--small-viewport) { /* styles for small viewport */ } ``` Multiple sources can be passed into this option, and they will be parsed in the order they are received. JavaScript files, JSON files, functions, and objects will need to namespace custom media using the `customMedia` or `custom-media` key. ```js postcssCustomMedia({ importFrom: [ 'path/to/file.css', 'and/then/this.js', 'and/then/that.json', { customMedia: { '--small-viewport': '(max-width: 30em)' } }, () => { const customMedia = { '--small-viewport': '(max-width: 30em)' }; return { customMedia }; } ] }); ``` ### exportTo The `exportTo` option specifies destinations where custom media can be exported to, which might be CSS, JS, and JSON files, functions, and directly passed objects. ```js postcssCustomMedia({ exportTo: 'path/to/file.css' // @custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em); }); ``` Multiple destinations can be passed into this option, and they will be parsed in the order they are received. JavaScript files, JSON files, and objects will need to namespace custom media using the `customMedia` or `custom-media` key. ```js const cachedObject = { customMedia: {} }; postcssCustomMedia({ exportTo: [ 'path/to/file.css', // @custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em); 'and/then/this.js', // module.exports = { customMedia: { '--small-viewport': '(max-width: 30em)' } } 'and/then/this.mjs', // export const customMedia = { '--small-viewport': '(max-width: 30em)' } } 'and/then/that.json', // { "custom-media": { "--small-viewport": "(max-width: 30em)" } } cachedObject, customMedia => { customMedia // { '--small-viewport': '(max-width: 30em)' } } ] }); ``` See example exports written to [CSS](test/export-media.css), [JS](test/export-media.js), [MJS](test/export-media.mjs), and [JSON](test/export-media.json).
