This package is deprecated, please use postcss-lightningcss instead.

This PostCSS plugin uses @parcel/css to compile and minify your CSS.

@parcel/css is more than a minifier as it can replace quite a few PostCSS plugins such as autoprefixer. You can find the complete list of features in the package's documentation and the list of plugins it's able to replace below.

Install

yarn add -D postcss-parcel-css

Usage

const postcss = require("postcss");
const postcssParcelCss = require("postcss-parcel-css");

postcss([postcssParcelCss(/* pluginOptions */)]).process(
  YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */
);

Options

const postcssParcelCss = require("postcss-parcel-css");

postcssParcelCss({
  // Use a browserslist query that will inform which browsers are supported
  // Will add or remove vendor prefixes that are needed or not anymore
  browsers: ">= .25%",
  // Will pass all options to @parcel/css
  // Check out their documentation for details:
  // https://www.npmjs.com/package/@parcel/css#user-content-documentation
  parcelCssOptions: {
    // Enable minification (default: true)
    minify: true,

    // Enable source maps (default: true)
    sourceMap: true,

    // Compile as cssModules (default: undefined)
    cssModules: false,

    // For which browsers to compile (default: undefined)
    // Can be omitted if you set the `browsers` option
    targets: {
      safari: (13 << 16) | (2 << 8), // represents Safari 13.2.0
    },

    // Individually enable various drafts
    drafts: {
      // Enable css nesting (default: undefined)
      nesting: false,
    },
  },
});

About source maps

Source maps will pass through @parcel/css. But many mappings will be lost in translation; @parcel/css creates only a source map for selectors. Mappings for properties cannot be re-created after this transformation.

PostCSS plugins that you can remove if you have @parcel/css

The rows marked as "Depends on browser config" will convert your CSS only if:

1. You set the browsers or parcelCssOptions.targets options
2. one of the target browsers doesn't support the feature

PostCSS Plugin	@parcel/css option
autoprefixer	Depends on browser config
postcss-clamp	Depends on browser config
postcss-color-hex-alpha	Depends on browser config
postcss-color-hsl	Depends on browser config
postcss-color-rgb	Depends on browser config
postcss-color-function	Depends on browser config
postcss-color-rebeccapurple	Depends on browser config
postcss-custom-media	parcelCssOptions.drafts.customMedia
postcss-double-position-gradients	Depends on browser config
postcss-hwb-function	Depends on browser config
postcss-lab-function	Depends on browser config
postcss-logical	Depends on browser config (1)
postcss-media-minmax	Depends on browser config
postcss-multi-value-display	Depends on browser config
postcss-nesting	parcelCssOptions.drafts.nesting
postcss-normalize-display-values	Depends on browser config
postcss-oklab-function	Depends on browser config
postcss-overflow-shorthand	Depends on browser config
postcss-place	Depends on browser config
postcss-progressive-custom-properties	Depends on browser config (2)

1. @parcel/css doesn't support the logical shorthand keyword as its syntax is likely to change
2. Progressive custom properties works only if the properties don't contain properties themselves:

• lab(29.2345% 39.3825 20.0664) has a proper fallback
• oklch(40% 0.234 0.39 / var(--opacity-50)) will not have a fallback
