postcss-merge-rules
Advanced tools
The postcss-merge-rules npm package is designed to optimize CSS by merging CSS rules with identical selectors or declarations. This can lead to smaller CSS files and potentially faster load times for web pages.
Merging based on identical selectors
This feature combines rules with identical selectors into a single rule. In the code sample, two rules for the 'a' selector are merged into one.
const postcss = require('postcss');
const mergeRules = require('postcss-merge-rules');
const css = `a { color: blue; }
a { font-size: 14px; }`;
postcss([mergeRules()])
.process(css, { from: undefined })
.then(result => console.log(result.css));
Merging based on identical declarations
This feature merges rules that have identical declarations but different selectors, creating a grouped selector. The code sample demonstrates merging two rules that apply the same color declaration to different selectors.
const postcss = require('postcss');
const mergeRules = require('postcss-merge-rules');
const css = `a { color: blue; }
b { color: blue; }`;
postcss([mergeRules()])
.process(css, { from: undefined })
.then(result => console.log(result.css));
cssnano is a modular CSS minifier that includes functionalities similar to postcss-merge-rules as part of its optimizations. It can merge rules as well as perform other optimizations like reducing whitespace and minifying font weights.
clean-css is another CSS minifier that offers functionalities to merge CSS rules among other optimizations. It focuses on efficiency and performance, providing an alternative to postcss-merge-rules with a broader scope of CSS optimization techniques.
Merge CSS rules with PostCSS.
With npm do:
npm install postcss-merge-rules --save
This module will attempt to merge adjacent CSS rules:
a {
color: blue;
font-weight: bold
}
p {
color: blue;
font-weight: bold
}
a,p {
color: blue;
font-weight: bold
}
a {
color: blue
}
a {
font-weight: bold
}
a {
color: blue;
font-weight: bold
}
a {
font-weight: bold
}
p {
