[PostCSS HWB Function] lets you use `hwb` color functions in
CSS, following the [CSS Color] specification.
```pcss
a {
color: hwb(194 0% 0%);
color: hwb(194 0% 0% / .5);
}
/* becomes */
a {
color: rgb(0, 195, 255);
color: rgba(0, 195, 255, .5);
}
```
## Usage
Add [PostCSS HWB Function] to your project:
```bash
npm install postcss @csstools/postcss-hwb-function --save-dev
```
Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:
```js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssHWBFunction = require('@csstools/postcss-hwb-function');
postcss([
postcssHWBFunction(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
```
[PostCSS HWB Function] 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
postcssHWBFunction({ preserve: true })
```
```pcss
a {
color: hwb(194 0% 0%);
color: hwb(194 0% 0% / .5);
}
/* becomes */
a {
color: rgb(0, 195, 255);
color: hwb(194 0% 0%);
color: rgba(0, 195, 255, .5);
color: hwb(194 0% 0% / .5);
}
