Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

PostCSS Start To End

npm version Build Status

PostCSS plugin that lets you control your layout (ltr or rtl) through logical rather than direction / physical rules.

Inspired by Flexbox and CSS Grid syntax, use start or end to output left or right depending on document direction (rtl or ltr).

Input

.foo {
    padding-start: 1rem;
    border-end: 1rem solid teal;
}

Output

.foo {
   padding-left: 1rem;
   border-right: 1rem solid teal;
}

Usage

postcss([
    require('postcss-start-to-end'),
    require('postcss-reporter') // show warnings - check options to know more
])

With some options

postcss([
    require('postcss-start-to-end')({
        direction: 'RTL',
        warnings: false,
    }),
    require('postcss-reporter')
]);

Options

direction

Default writing mode of CSS. Type: string Default: 'LTR' Values: 'LTR', 'RTL'

Input

.item {
    border-start: 1px solid teal;
    padding: 0 3rem 0 0;
}

output with direction: 'LTR'

.item {
    border-left: 1px solid teal;
    padding: 0 3rem 0 0;
}

output with direction: 'RTL'

.item {
    border-right: 1px solid teal;
    padding: 0 0 0 3rem;
}

warnings

Output on CLI warnings about properties / rules found that don't follow start-to-end syntax. Type: boolean Default: true Values: true, false

Example

.item {
    margin-left: 10%;
}

Console warning if direction: ltr:

margin-left: 10%; found on line 2. Replace it by margin-start to support LTR and RTL directions.

Console warning if direction: rtl:

margin-left: 10%; found on line 2. Replace it by margin-end to support LTR and RTL directions.

ignoreNodeModules

Ignore any CSS file inside /node_modules folder. Type: boolean Default: true Values: true, false

Rules supported

| Input | Output LTR | output RTL | | ----------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------- | | Alignment | | | | text-align: start; | text-align: left; | text-align: right; | | text-align: end; | text-align: right; | text-align: left; | | Clear | | | | clear: start; | clear: left; | clear: right; | | clear: end; | clear: right; | clear: left; | | Float | | | | float: start; | float: left; | float: right; | | float: end; | float: right; | float: left; | | Border | | | | border-start | border-left | border-right | | border-end | border-right | border-left | | border-top-start | border-top-left | border-top-right | | border-top-end | border-top-right | border-top-left | | border-bottom-end | border-bottom-right | border-bottom-left | | border-bottom-start | border-bottom-left | border-bottom-right | | Margin | | | | margin-start | margin-left | margin-right | | margin-end | margin-right | margin-left | | margin: 0 2rem 0 3rem; | margin: 0 2rem 0 3rem; | margin: 0 3rem 0 2rem; | | Padding | | | | padding-start | padding-left | padding-right | | padding-end | padding-right | padding-left | | padding: 0 1rem 0 4rem; | padding: 0 1rem 0 4rem; | padding: 0 4rem 0 1rem; | | Position | | | | start: 1rem; | left: 1rem; | right: 1rem; | | end: 1rem; | right: 1rem; | left: 1rem; |

BONUS: Convert your existing code to this syntax

Don't you feel like find/replace rules in each one of your *.css files?

No worries, I built a simple tool that does that for you. You just need to tell where you want to run the converter (folder or file.css). By default it runs in src folder

Input

.item {
    padding-left: 5rem;
    margin-right : 1rem;
    float:left;
}

Convert from LTR layout

Convert by default runs on src folder node node_modules/postcss-start-to-end/convert

Set a specific folder to run: node node_modules/postcss-start-to-end/convert src/components

Set a specific file to run: node node_modules/postcss-start-to-end/convert styles/index.css

Output

.item {
    padding-start: 5rem;
    margin-end : 1rem;
    float:start;
}

Convert RTL layout

Convert by default runs on src folder node node_modules/postcss-start-to-end/convert --rtl

Set a specific folder to run: node node_modules/postcss-start-to-end/convert src/components --rtl

Set a specific file to run: node node_modules/postcss-start-to-end/convert styles/index.css --rtl

Output

.item {
    padding-end: 5rem;
    margin-start : 1rem;
    float:end;
}

F.A.Q.

Why should I use this instead of plugins that convert *-left to *-right and vice-versa?

This is not a replacement of those kind of plugins.

This is a plugin to let you write code with a logical thought in mind rather than a physical/direction one.

Then if you need to convert the outputted CSS to the opposite direction you might want to try postcss-rtl.

Is this tested?

  • The PostCSS Plugin has 100% coverage test with all possible scenarios that crossed my mind.
  • The Converter tests will be added soon!
  • Don't fear: Travis-ci is doing it's job!

Motivation | References

There is a CSS Draft Spec about CSS Logical Properties in Level 1. Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, I decided to keep this plugin syntax simple and straight following what is already defined without adding more sugar.
