postcss-ast-dependencies
Advanced tools
Inspects postcss ASTs for dependency identifiers.
npm install --save postcss-ast-dependencies
import postcss from 'postcss';
import postcssAstDependencies from 'postcss-ast-dependencies';
const ast = postcss.parse(`
@import './foo.css';
.bar {
background-image: url('./bar.png');
}
`);
const deps = postcssAstDependencies(ast);
console.log(deps.map(dep => dep.source);
// ['./foo.css', './bar.png']
Lists of objects are returned, where each object has the value
of the identifier as a source prop. Rather than simply returning
lists of strings, we use objects as it leaves open the potential
for more contextual information to be provided in a
backwards-compatible manner.
