postcss-convert-values

Convert values with PostCSS (e.g. ms -> s)

Install

With npm do:

npm install postcss-convert-values --save

Example

This plugin reduces CSS size by converting values to use different units where possible; for example, 500ms can be represented as .5s. You can read more about these units in this article.

Input

h1 {
    font-size: 16px;
    width: 0em
}

Output

h1 {
    font-size: 1pc;
    width: 0
}

Note that this plugin only covers conversions for duration and absolute length values. For color conversions, use [postcss-colormin][colormin].

API

convertValues([options])

options

length

Type: boolean Default: true

Pass false to disable conversion from px to other absolute length units, such as pc & pt & vice versa.

time

Type: boolean Default: true

Pass false to disable conversion from ms to s & vice versa.

angle

Type: boolean Default: true

Pass false to disable conversion from deg to turn & vice versa.

precision

Type: boolean|number Default: false

Specify any numeric value here to round px values to that many decimal places; for example, using {precision: 2} will round 6.66667px to 6.67px, and {precision: 0} will round it to 7px. Passing false (the default) will leave these values as is.

It is recommended for most use cases to set this option to 2.

Usage
