[PostCSS Custom Selectors] lets you use Custom Selectors in CSS, following the [CSS Extensions] specification.
```pcss @custom-selector :--heading h1, h2, h3;
article :--heading + p { margin-top: 0; }
/* becomes */
article h1 + p, article h2 + p, article h3 + p {} ```
## Usage
Add [PostCSS Custom Selectors] to your project:
```bash npm install postcss-custom-selectors --save-dev ```
Use [PostCSS Custom Selectors] to process your CSS:
```js const postcssCustomSelectors = require('postcss-custom-selectors');
postcssCustomSelectors.process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions, pluginOptions */); ```
Or use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:
```js const postcss = require('postcss'); const postcssCustomSelectors = require('postcss-custom-selectors');
postcss([ postcssCustomSelectors(/* pluginOptions */) ]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */); ```
[PostCSS Custom Selectors] 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 custom selectors and rules using custom selectors should be preserved in their original form.
```pcss @custom-selector :--heading h1, h2, h3;
article :--heading + p { margin-top: 0; }
/* becomes */
article h1 + p, article h2 + p, article h3 + p {}
article :--heading + p {} ```
### importFrom
The `importFrom` option specifies sources where custom selectors can be imported from, which might be CSS, JS, and JSON files, functions, and directly passed objects.
```js postcssCustomSelectors({ importFrom: 'path/to/file.css' // => @custom-selector :--heading h1, h2, h3; }); ```
```pcss article :--heading + p { margin-top: 0; }
/* becomes */
article h1 + p, article h2 + p, article h3 + p {} ```
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 selectors using the `customProperties` or `custom-properties` key.
```js postcssCustomSelectors({ importFrom: [ 'path/to/file.css', 'and/then/this.js', 'and/then/that.json', { customSelectors: { ':--heading': 'h1, h2, h3' } }, () => { const customProperties = { ':--heading': 'h1, h2, h3' };
return { customProperties }; } ] }); ```
### exportTo
The `exportTo` option specifies destinations where custom selectors can be exported to, which might be CSS, JS, and JSON files, functions, and directly passed objects.
```js postcssCustomSelectors({ exportTo: 'path/to/file.css' // @custom-selector :--heading h1, h2, h3; }); ```
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 selectors using the `customProperties` or `custom-properties` key.
```js const cachedObject = { customSelectors: {} };
postcssCustomSelectors({ exportTo: [ 'path/to/file.css', // @custom-selector :--heading h1, h2, h3; 'and/then/this.js', // module.exports = { customSelectors: { ':--heading': 'h1, h2, h3' } } 'and/then/this.mjs', // export const customSelectors = { ':--heading': 'h1, h2, h3' } } 'and/then/that.json', // { "custom-selectors": { ":--heading": "h1, h2, h3" } } cachedObject, customProperties => { customProperties // { ':--heading': 'h1, h2, h3' } } ] }); ```
