# PostCSS Color Functional Notation [PostCSS Logo][postcss] [NPM Version][npm-url] [CSS Standard Status][css-url] [Build Status][cli-url] [Discord][discord] [PostCSS Color Functional Notation] lets you use space and slash separated color notation in CSS, following the [CSS Color] specification. ```pcss :root { --firebrick: rgb(178 34 34); --firebrick-a50: rgb(70% 13.5% 13.5% / 50%); --firebrick-hsl: hsla(0 68% 42%); --firebrick-hsl-a50: hsl(0 68% 42% / 50%); } /* becomes */ :root { --firebrick: rgb(178, 34, 34); --firebrick-a50: rgba(178, 34, 34, .5); --firebrick-hsl: hsl(0, 68%, 42%); --firebrick-hsl-a50: hsla(0, 68%, 42%, .5); } ``` ## Usage Add [PostCSS Color Functional Notation] to your project: ```bash npm install postcss-color-functional-notation --save-dev ``` Use [PostCSS Color Functional Notation] to process your CSS: ```js const postcss = require('postcss'); const postcssColorFunctionalNotation = require('postcss-color-functional-notation'); postcss([ postcssColorFunctionalNotation(/* pluginOptions */) ]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */); ``` [PostCSS Color Functional Notation] runs in all Node environments, with special instructions for: | [Node](INSTALL.md#node) | [PostCSS CLI](INSTALL.md#postcss-cli) | [Webpack](INSTALL.md#webpack) | [Gulp](INSTALL.md#gulp) | [Grunt](INSTALL.md#grunt) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ## Options ### preserve The `preserve` option determines whether the original functional color notation is preserved. By default, it is not preserved. ```js postcssColorFunctionalNotation({ preserve: true }) ``` ```pcss :root { --firebrick: rgb(178 34 34); --firebrick-a50: rgb(70% 13.5% 13.5% / 50%); --firebrick-hsl: hsla(0 68% 42%); --firebrick-hsl-a50: hsl(0 68% 42% / 50%); } /* becomes */ :root { --firebrick: rgb(178, 34, 34); --firebrick: rgb(178 34 34); --firebrick-a50: rgba(178, 34, 34, .5); --firebrick-a50: rgb(70% 13.5% 13.5% / 50%); --firebrick-hsl: hsl(0, 68%, 42%); --firebrick-hsl: hsla(0 68% 42%); --firebrick-hsl-a50: hsla(0, 68%, 42%, .5); --firebrick-hsl-a50: hsl(0 68% 42% / 50%); } ``` ### enableProgressiveCustomProperties The `enableProgressiveCustomProperties` option determines whether the original notation is wrapped with `@supports` when used in Custom Properties. By default, it is enabled. ⚠️ We only recommend disabling this when you set `preserve` to `false` or if you bring your own fix for Custom Properties. See what the plugin does in its [README](https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/tree/main/plugins/postcss-progressive-custom-properties#readme). ```js postcssColorFunctionalNotation({ enableProgressiveCustomProperties: false }) ``` [cli-url]: https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/actions/workflows/test.yml?query=workflow/test [css-url]: https://cssdb.org/#color-functional-notation [discord]: https://discord.gg/bUadyRwkJS [npm-url]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/postcss-color-functional-notation [CSS Color]: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color/#ref-for-funcdef-rgb%E2%91%A1%E2%91%A0 [Gulp PostCSS]: https://github.com/postcss/gulp-postcss [Grunt PostCSS]: https://github.com/nDmitry/grunt-postcss [PostCSS]: https://github.com/postcss/postcss [PostCSS Loader]: https://github.com/postcss/postcss-loader [PostCSS Color Functional Notation]: https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/tree/main/plugins/postcss-color-functional-notation
