简体中文

CSS Grace is a plugin for PostCSS.It does not change the original grammar CSS, let CSS to write more simple and more elegant。

Quick start

1. Download and install Node.js.

2. Installation cssgrace.

npm install cssgrace

3. test.js

npm install chokidar

var fs       = require('fs')
var cssgrace = require('cssgrace')

var src = 'src/input.css'
console.info('Watching…\nModify the input.css and save.')

chokidar.watch(src, {
  ignored: /[\/\\]\./,
  persistent: true
}).on('all',
  function(event, path, stats) {
    var css = fs.readFileSync(src, 'utf8')
    fs.writeFileSync('build/output.css', cssgrace.pack(css))
  })

4. input.css：

.foo::after {
  position: center;
  width: 210px;
  height: 80px;
  background: rgba(112, 26, 0, .3);
}

.bar {
  display: inline-block;
  opacity: .5;
}

5. node test，we will get output.css.

.foo:after {
  position: absolute;
  left: 50%;
  top: 50%;
  margin-left: -105px;
  margin-top: -40px;
  width: 210px;
  height: 80px;
  background: rgba(112, 26, 0, .3);
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#4c701a00', endColorstr='#4c701a00');
}

:root .foo:after {
  filter: none\9;
}

.bar {
  display: inline-block;
  *display: inline;
  *zoom: 1;
  opacity: .5;
  filter: alpha(opacity=50);
}

More features

Automatic generation of 2x background compatible code

input:

.foo {
  background-image: -webkit-image-set(
                    url(../img/[email protected]) 1x,
                    url(../img/[email protected]) 2x);
}

output:

.foo {
  background-image: url(../img/[email protected]); /* Fallback */
  background-image: -webkit-image-set(
                    url(../img/[email protected]) 1x,
                    url(../img/[email protected]) 2x);
}

@media only screen and (min-resolution: 2dppx) {
  .foo {
    background-image: url(../img/[email protected]);
    background-size: 320px 427px;
}
}

Get the background image's width or height

Using the image-width and image-height to obtain the image's width or height.

input:

.foo {
  background: url(../img/post-and-pre.png);
  width: image-width;
  height: image-height;
}

.foo {
  background: url(../img/post-and-pre.png);
  margin: image-width image-height -image-height;
  content: 'image-width';
}

output:

.foo {
  background: url(../img/post-and-pre.png);
  width: 720px;
  height: 719px;
}

.foo {
  background: url(../img/post-and-pre.png);
  margin: 720px 719px -719px;
  content: 'image-width';
}

clear: fix

input:

.foo {
  clear: fix;
}

output:

.foo {
  *zoom: 1;
}
.foo:after {
  clear: both;
}
.foo:before,
.foo:after {
  content: '';
  display: table;
}

If there is already can remove floating property, don't generate compatible code.

input:

.foo {
  clear: fix;
  overflow: hidden;
}

output:

.foo {
  overflow: hidden;
}

position:center polyfill

Automatic calculation of margin value, the mother will never have to worry about my math is not good.

input:

.foo {
  position: center;
  width: 300px;
  height: 123px;
}

output:

.foo {
  position: absolute;
  left: 50%;
  top: 50%;
  margin-left: -150px;
  margin-top: -61.5px;
  width: 300px;
  height: 123px;
}

Repair of common errors

Float or absolutely positioned elements don't write display: block

input:

.foo {
  position: absolute;
  display: block;
}

.foo {
  position: center;
  display: block;
}

.foo {
  float: left;
  display: block;
}

output:

.foo {
  position: absolute;
}

.foo {
  position: center;
}

.foo {
  float: left;
}

Absolutely positioned elements floating effect

Remove float: left|right.

input:

.foo {
  position: absolute;
  float: left;
}

output:

.foo {
  position: absolute;
}

Missing property auto completion

resize

input:

.foo {
  resize: vertical;
}

.foo {
  resize: both;
  overflow: hidden;
}

output:

.foo {
  resize: vertical;
  overflow: auto;
}

.foo {
  resize: both;
  overflow: hidden;
}

text-overflow: ellipsis

input:

.foo {
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

.foo {
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  overflow: auto;
  white-space: normal;
}

output:

.foo {
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.foo {
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

IE Hack

IE opacity

input:

.foo {
  opacity: .6;
}

.foo {
  opacity: 0.8293;
}

output:

.foo {
  opacity: .6;
  filter: alpha(opacity=60);
}

.foo {
  opacity: 0.8293;
  filter: alpha(opacity=83);
}

IE RGBA

input:

.foo {
  background: rgba(153, 85, 102, 0.3);
}

output:

.foo {
  background: rgba(153, 85, 102, 0.3);
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#4c995566', endColorstr='#4c995566');
}

:root .foo {
  filter: none\9;
}

IE inline-block

input:

.foo {
  display: inline-block;
