PostCSS

“PostCSS is a tool for transforming CSS with JS plugins. These plugins can support variables and mixins, transpile future CSS syntax, inline images, and more.

In this intro we covered what PostCSS is NOT:

  • It’s not a pre-processor, though it can optionally behave like one.
  • It’s not a post-processor, though it can optionally behave like one.
  • It’s not about “future syntax”, though it can facilitate support for future syntax
  • It’s not a clean up / optimization tool, though it can provide such functionality.
  • It’s not any one thing; it’s a means to potentially unlimited functionality configured as you choose.

We also covered what makes PostCSS special:

  • The diverse functionality available via its plugin ecosystem
  • Its modular, “use what you need” nature
  • Its rapid compilation time
  • The accessibility of creating your own plugins
  • The option to use it with regular CSS
  • The ability to create libraries that don’t depend on one preprocessor
  • Its seamless deployment with many popular build tools
