```bash

npm install postcss-custom-media --save-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
[PostCSS Custom Media] lets you define `@custom-media` in CSS following the [Custom Media Specification].
|
|
|
|
```pcss
|
|
@custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em);
|
|
|
|
@media (--small-viewport) {
|
|
/* styles for small viewport */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* becomes */
|
|
|
|
@media (max-width: 30em) {
|
|
/* styles for small viewport */
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## `true` and `false`
|
|
|
|
With `@custom-media` you can use the constants `true` and `false`.
|
|
These are especially handy when debugging.
|
|
|
|
If you are unsure how your page is affected when a certain media query matches or not you can use these, to quickly toggle the results.
|
|
This plugin downgrades these queries to something that works in all browsers.
|
|
|
|
Quickly check the result as if the query matches:
|
|
|
|
```pcss
|
|
@custom-media --small-viewport true;
|
|
|
|
@media (--small-viewport) {
|
|
/* styles for small viewport */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* becomes */
|
|
|
|
@media (max-color:2147477350) {
|
|
/* styles for small viewport */
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Quickly check the result as if the query does not match:
|
|
|
|
```pcss
|
|
@custom-media --small-viewport false;
|
|
|
|
@media (--small-viewport) {
|
|
/* styles for small viewport */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* becomes */
|
|
|
|
@media (color:2147477350) {
|
|
/* styles for small viewport */
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## logical evaluation of complex media queries
|
|
|
|
It is impossible to accurately and correctly resolve complex `@custom-media` queries
|
|
as these depend on the browser the queries will eventually run in.
|
|
|
|
_Some of these queries will have only one possible outcome but we have to account for all possible queries in this plugin._
|
|
|
|
⚠️ When handling complex media queries you will see that your CSS is doubled for each level of complexity.<br>
|
|
GZIP works great to de-dupe this but having a lot of complex media queries will have a performance impact.
|
|
|
|
An example of a very complex (and artificial) use-case :
|
|
|
|
```pcss
|
|
|
|
@custom-media --a-complex-query tty and (min-width: 300px);
|
|
|
|
@media not screen and ((not (--a-complex-query)) or (color)) {
|
|
/* Your CSS */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* becomes */
|
|
|
|
|
|
@media tty and (min-width: 300px) {
|
|
@media not screen and ((not (max-color:2147477350)) or (color)) {
|
|
/* Your CSS */
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
@media not tty and (min-width: 300px) {
|
|
@media not screen and ((not (color:2147477350)) or (color)) {
|
|
/* Your CSS */
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Add [PostCSS Custom Media] to your project:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install postcss postcss-custom-media --save-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const postcss = require('postcss');
|
|
const postcssCustomMedia = require('postcss-custom-media');
|
|
|
|
postcss([
|
|
postcssCustomMedia(/* pluginOptions */)
|
|
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
[PostCSS Custom Media] 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)
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### preserve
|
|
|
|
The `preserve` option determines whether the original notation
|
|
is preserved. By default, it is not preserved.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
postcssCustomMedia({ preserve: true })
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```pcss
|
|
@custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em);
|
|
|
|
@media (--small-viewport) {
|
|
/* styles for small viewport */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* becomes */
|
|
|
|
@custom-media --small-viewport (max-width: 30em);
|
|
|
|
@media (max-width: 30em) {
|
|
/* styles for small viewport */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@media (--small-viewport) {
|
|
/* styles for small viewport */
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Modular CSS Processing
|
|
|
|
If you're using Modular CSS such as, CSS Modules, `postcss-loader` or `vanilla-extract` to name a few, you'll probably
|
|
notice that custom media queries are not being resolved. This happens because each file is processed separately so
|
|
unless you import the custom media query definitions in each file, they won't be resolved.
|
|
|
|
To overcome this, we recommend using the [PostCSS Global Data](https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/tree/main/plugins/postcss-global-data#readme)
|
|
plugin which allows you to pass a list of files that will be globally available. The plugin won't inject any extra code
|
|
in the output but will provide the context needed to resolve custom media queries.
|
|
|
|
For it to run it needs to be placed before the [PostCSS Custom Media] plugin.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const postcss = require('postcss');
|
|
const postcssCustomMedia = require('postcss-custom-media');
|
|
const postcssGlobalData = require('@csstools/postcss-global-data');
|
|
|
|
postcss([
|
|
postcssGlobalData({
|
|
files: [
|
|
'path/to/your/custom-media-queries.css'
|
|
]
|
|
}),
|
|
postcssCustomMedia(/* pluginOptions */)
|
|
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
|
|
```
