PostCSS Short Overflow

PostCSS Short Overflow lets you write overflow-x and overflow-y with the overflow shorthand in CSS.

html {
  overflow: hidden auto;
}
 
[contenteditable] {
  overflow: * auto;
}
 
/* becomes */
 
html {
  overflow-x: hidden;
  overflow-y: auto;
}
 
[contenteditable] {
  overflow-y: auto;
}

Usage

Add PostCSS Short Overflow to your project:

npm install postcss-short-overflow --save-dev

Use PostCSS Short Overflow to process your CSS:

const postcssShortOverflow = require('postcss-short-overflow');
 
postcssShortOverflow.process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions, pluginOptions */);

Or use it as a PostCSS plugin:

const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssShortOverflow = require('postcss-short-overflow');
 
postcss([
  postcssShortOverflow(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
