PostCSS Mixin From

PostCSS plugin which enhances postcss-mixins with the ability to inline import from other files.

Input:

.installButton {
  @mixin raisedButton from './button[.trait]';
  background-color: blue;
}

/* button.trait */
@mixin-definition raisedButton {
  color: white;
}

Output:

@define-mixin raisedButton {
  color: white;
}

.installButton {
  @mixin raisedButton;
}

Usage

This plugin is environment-independent. It must be provided the ability to load other CSS files by the end user.

An example using SystemJS:

const getFileText = (filePath, relativeToPath) => {
  const isBundling = typeof window === 'undefined';
  let absolutePath = filePath;

  if (isBundling && filePath[0] === '.') {
    absolutePath = path.resolve(path.dirname(relativeToPath), filePath);
    // css.source.input.from is incorrect when building. Need to convert from relative and then drop root
    // so that when giving the path to SystemJS' fetch it works as expected.
    absolutePath = absolutePath.replace(path.parse(absolutePath).root, '');
  }

  const canonicalParent = relativeToPath.replace(/^\//, '');

  return System
    .normalize(absolutePath, path.join(System.baseURL, canonicalParent))
    .then(System.import.bind(System));
};

Be sure to run this plugin before postcss-mixins.

const mixinFrom = require('postcss-mixin-from');
const mixins = require('postcss-mixins');
postcss([
  mixinFrom({getFileText}),
  mixins
])

See PostCSS docs for examples for your environment.
