PostCSS Flexbox Reset

PostCSS plugin for resetting flexbox. This plugin adds rule min-width:0 to all direct descendants of element display: flex.

Let’s say you want to truncate labels in flexbox layout. Without resetting flex items, it doesn't work. When you apply min-width:0 to flex items, layout works as expected.

This was just one example, but you will come across similar funky issues in your flexbox layouts in different browsers. You can read my whole story here.

/* Input example */
.foo {
  display: flex;
}

/* Output example */
.foo {
  display: flex;
}

.foo > * {
  min-width: 0;
}
