While the following patterns are considered violations:

@media (--md) {}

@media (--md), (max-width: 40rem) {}

known

If the first option is "known", then Media Use Custom Media requires all @media queries referencing Custom Media to be known from either @custom-media declarations in the file or imported using the second option. Then the following patterns are not considered violations:

@custom-media --sm (min-width: 40rem);

@media (--sm) {}

@media (--sm), (min-width: 40rem) {}

While the following patterns are considered violations:

@media (--md) {}

@media (--md), (min-width: 40rem) {}

always-known

@custom-media --sm (min-width: 40rem);

@media (--sm) {}

While the following patterns are considered violations:

@custom-media --sm (min-width: 40rem);

@media (--sm), (min-width: 40rem) {}

@media (--md) {}

ignore

If the first option is "ignore" or null, then Media Use Custom Media does nothing.

importFrom

When the first option is "always-known" or "known", then the second option can specify sources where Custom Properties should be imported from by using an importFrom key. These imports might be CSS, JS, and JSON files, functions, and directly passed objects.
