What is PostCSS
PostCSS • https://github.com/postcss/postcs • Node.js • CSS Parser + API
• Plugin Architecture
PostCSS Parser Plugin Plugin Stringifier CSS New CSS
The Beginning is ..
Rework “Modular CSS Preprocessing with Rework” ― TJ Holowaychuk http://tjholowaychuk.tumblr.com/post/44267035203/modular-css-preprocessing-with-rework
“Custom CSS Preprocessing” ― Nicolas Gallagher http://nicolasgallagher.com/custom-css-preprocessing/
Rework PostCSS • First • Simple • Fast • Smarter
Parser • Useful API • Source Maps
PostCSS is Fast http://ai.github.io/about-postcss/en/?full#40

Useful API
How to use PostCSS
Usage var postcss = require(‘postcss’) postcss([plugin_1,ɹplugin_2]) .process(css) .then(function (result) {
console.log(result) })
Usage in gulp .pipe(postcss([ require(‘postcss-nested'), require('postcss-simple-vars'), require('postcss-mixins'), require('postcss-easings'), require('cssnext') ]))
Create Plugins var postcss = require('postcss'); module.exports = postcss.plugin('PLUGIN_NAME', function
(opts) { opts = opts || {}; // Work with options here return function (css) { // Transform CSS AST here }; }); Use postcss-plugin-boilerplate
The Extensible Web Write PostCSS plugins Popularity Specification
The Difference between Existing Preprocessors
Difference Existing Preprocessor (like Sass) PostCSS ɾMonolithic ɾCode inside CSS
template ɾTuring Complete ɾModular ɾMaintainable ɾAll features by plugins ɾJS transforms CSS
The Tools Built with PostCSS
a { display: flex; } Autoprefixer a { display: -webkit-box;
display: -webkit-flex; display: -ms-flexbox; display: flex } Add vendor prefixes to rules by Can I Use
cssnext @custom-selector --heading h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6; .post-article
--heading { margin-top: calc(10 * var(--row)); color: color( var(--mainColor) blackness(+20%) ); font-variant-caps: small-caps; } CSS transpiler to use tomorrow's CSS syntax today
Pleeease Simplifies the use of preprocessors and combines them with
best postprocessors.
AtCSS .base { /* * @base * @constant */ font-size:
12px; padding: 8px 16px; } .class { /* @extend .base */ background-color: #eee; } Annotations based CSS Processor
