[PostCSS Stepped Value Functions] lets you use `round`, `rem` and `mod` stepped value functions, following the [CSS Values 4].
```pcss
.test-functions {
padding: 8px mod(18px, 5px) 1px calc(rem(15px, 6px) + 50%);
transform: rotate(mod(-140deg, -90deg));
top: round(15px, 4px);
right: round(nearest, 15px, 4px);
bottom: round(up, 15px, 7px);
left: round(down, 15px, 4px);
width: round(to-zero, 15px, 4px);
}
/* becomes */
.test-functions {
padding: 8px 3px 1px calc(3px + 50%);
transform: rotate(-50deg);
top: 16px;
right: 16px;
bottom: 21px;
left: 12px;
width: 12px;
}
```
## Usage
Add [PostCSS Stepped Value Functions] to your project:
```bash
npm install postcss @csstools/postcss-stepped-value-functions --save-dev
```
Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:
```js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssSteppedValueFunctions = require('@csstools/postcss-stepped-value-functions');
postcss([
postcssSteppedValueFunctions(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
```
[PostCSS Stepped Value Functions] runs in all Node environments, with special
instructions for:
- [Node](INSTALL.md#node)
- [PostCSS CLI](INSTALL.md#postcss-cli)
- [PostCSS Load Config](INSTALL.md#postcss-load-config)
- [Webpack](INSTALL.md#webpack)
- [Next.js](INSTALL.md#nextjs)
- [Gulp](INSTALL.md#gulp)
- [Grunt](INSTALL.md#grunt)
## ⚠️ About custom properties
Given the dynamic nature of custom properties it's impossible to know what the variable value is, which means the plugin can't compute a final value for the stylesheet.
Because of that, any usage that contains a `var` is skipped.
## Options
### preserve
The `preserve` option determines whether the original notation
is preserved. By default, it is not preserved.
```js
postcssSteppedValueFunctions({ preserve: true })
```
```pcss
.test-functions {
padding: 8px mod(18px, 5px) 1px calc(rem(15px, 6px) + 50%);
transform: rotate(mod(-140deg, -90deg));
top: round(15px, 4px);
right: round(nearest, 15px, 4px);
bottom: round(up, 15px, 7px);
left: round(down, 15px, 4px);
width: round(to-zero, 15px, 4px);
}
/* becomes */
.test-functions {
padding: 8px 3px 1px calc(3px + 50%);
padding: 8px mod(18px, 5px) 1px calc(rem(15px, 6px) + 50%);
transform: rotate(-50deg);
transform: rotate(mod(-140deg, -90deg));
top: 16px;
top: round(15px, 4px);
right: 16px;
right: round(nearest, 15px, 4px);
bottom: 21px;
bottom: round(up, 15px, 7px);
left: 12px;
