PostCSS Auto Reset

PostCSS plugin for automatic conditional rules reset. Useful for creation of bullet-proof styles isolation in your extension. Can be used in combination with postcss-initial.

The following CSS is written in BEM notation.

.block {
  padding: 1em;
}

.block:hover {
  background-color: red;
}

.block__element {
  margin: 1em;
}

.block--modifier {
  border: 1em;
}

.block,
.block__element {
  /* combined reset block */
  all: initial;
}

.block {
  /* reseted */
  padding: 1em;
}

.block:hover {
  /* ignored, we don`t need to reset pseudoclasses  */
  background-color: red;
}

.block__element {
  /* reseted */
  margin: 1em;
}

.block--modifier {
  /* ignored, we don`t need to reset BEM modifiers  */
  border: 1em;
}

Options

reset

Set of properties that we use to reset rules.
Takes string or object.
Possible values:

• 'initial' - all: initial;
• 'sizes' - reset size properties.

Use object to create your own reset. CSS-in-JS notation is supported.

Example

postcss([
  require("postcss-autoreset")({
    reset: {
      margin: 0,
      padding: 0,
      borderRadius: 0,
    },
  }),
]);

rulesMatcher

Rules filter function.
Takes string or function.
Possible values:

• 'bem' - reset all BEM blocks and element, ignore modifiers and pseudoclasses. (naming: .block__element-modifier);
• 'suit' - reset all SUIT CSS components and parts, ignore modifiers, states and pseudoclasses.

You can define custom rules filter to fit your styles naming.

Example

postcss([
  require("postcss-autoreset")({
    rulesMatcher: (rule) => rule.selector.match(/regexp/),
  }),
]);

Reset only simple rules. See #28

postcss([
  require("postcss-autoreset")({
    rulesMatcher: (rule) => rule.selector.match(/^[.]\w+$/),
  }),
]);
