postcss-ie11

PostCSS plugin pack making it easier to work with IE 11.

This plugin pack adds a few hacks & utilities that make it easier to work with IE 11.

Example input:

@supports (display: grid) {
    .box {
        /* Grid styles, applied to modern browsers. */
    }
}
@supports not (display: grid) {
    .box {
        /* Fallback styles, applied to older browsers, including IE 11. */
    }
}
:ie11 .box {
    /* IE 11 only hacks */
}

Example output:

@supports (display: grid) {
    .box {
        /* Grid styles, applied to modern browsers. */
    }
}
@supports not (display: grid) {
    .box {
        /* Fallback styles, applied to older browsers, including IE 11. */
    }
}
_:-ms-fullscreen, .box {
    /* Fallback styles, applied to older browsers, including IE 11. */
}
_:-ms-fullscreen, .box {
    /* IE 11 only hacks */
}

Usage

postcss([
    require('postcss-ie11'),
])

Options

You can selectively disable or enable each of the included plugins by setting a proper key to false inside of the plugins option object. All plugins are enabled by default.

Usage:

postcss([
    require('postcss-ie11')({
        plugins: {
            pluginToBeDisabled: false,
            pluginToBeEnabled: true,
        },
    }),
])

The possible plugin ids are:

• supports: represents postcss-ie11-supports
• pseudoClass: represents postcss-ie11-pseudo-class

For example, the following invocation will disable all plugins, effectively disabling the whole postcss-ie11 plugin pack:

postcss([
    require('postcss-ie11')({
        plugins: {
            supports: false,
            pseudoClass: false,
        },
    }),
])

Advanced usage

Many of plugins this plugin encompasses rely on a behavior of CSS that if browsers don't recognize a certain selector they drop the whole rule even if other selectors after the unrecognized one match. The default selector used in many of those plugins, '_:-ms-fullscreen', is recognized only by IE 11. You can change it to a different one that is recognized by other browsers by passing a ieSelector option, e.g.:

postcss([
    require('postcss-ie11')({
        ieSelector: '_:-ms-lang(x)',
    }),
])

will match IE 10 and 11. Note, however, that IE 10 support is not official so bugs affecting only that browser (and not affecting IE 11) may not be fixed.
