Note: without special instructions the following cases all uses this CSS template .

values

  • Type: String/Object
  • Default: null
  • Required: false
  • Description: The Object corresponding to the variables in css, used to replace the variable in css,like scss

When the value is String, only the file address of type .js or .json is accepted, otherwise Object is accepted as the value.

pattern

  • Type: RegExp/String
  • Default: /\$\(([^()]+)\)/g
  • Required: false
  • Description: Regular rules for matching variable templates

Used to match custom template expressions in CSS. If there is a capture group, the expression corresponding to $1 by default, otherwise the whole matching expression is extracted. If there is no capture group, splitKey is ignored by default。

// with capture group
postcss([ require('postcss-vars-process')({
    values: {
        'fontSize': '14px',
    	'color': '#333',
    	'logo': './img/logo.png',
        'errorColor': '#f10'
    },
    extract(variables){
        // variables: ['fontSize', 'color', 'logo', 'errorColor|#f00']
        // do something with variables
    }
})])

// without capture group
postcss([ require('postcss-vars-process')({
    pattern: //\$\([^()]+\)/g/,
    values: {
        '$(fontSize)': '14px',
    	'$(color)': '#333',
    	'$(logo)': './logo.png',
    	'$(errorColor|#f00)': '#999'
    },
    extract(variables){
        // variables: ['$(fontSize)', '$(color)', '$(logo)', '$(errorColor|#f00)']
        // do something with variables
    }
})])

logType

  • Type: String:<warn|error>
  • Default: warn
  • Required: false
  • Description: Message prompt when variables cannot be resolved

When a variable cannot be resolved, this specifies whether to throw an error or log a warning. In the case of a warning, the unknow variables will be replaced with an empty string.

splitKey

  • Type: String
  • Default: |
  • Required: false

All parameters are added directly after the variable via splitKey. The number of parameters is not limited. It is suggested that this attribute be used in conjunction with extract, and it is meaningless to use it alone.

For example:

.test{
     border-color: $(color|2|#f00);
}
// extract 'color|2|#f00', then split it with splitKey |
variable: color
valueType: 2 
defaultValue: #f00

The meaning of the parameters is completely defined by you.

extract

  • Type: Function(Array[])
  • Default: null
  • Required: false

If you need to process the variables, extract must be filled in and must be Function.

// with capture group
postcss([ require('postcss-vars-process')({
    extract(variables){
        // variables: ['fontSize', 'color', 'logo', 'errorColor|#f00']
        let vars = {};
        variables.forEach(item => {
			item = item.split('|');
            vars[item[0]] = item[1] : '';
        });
        // export variables
        fs.writeFile(path.join(__dirname, 'vars.json'), JSON.stringify(vars));
    }
})])

// vars.json
{
    "fontSize": "",
    "color": "",
    "logo": "",
    "errorColor": "#f00"
}
