What is postcss-reporter?
The postcss-reporter npm package is a PostCSS plugin used to log PostCSS messages in the console. It is designed to report warnings or messages from other PostCSS plugins in a clear and readable format. This helps developers understand and address issues during the CSS processing workflow.
What are postcss-reporter's main functionalities?
Logging Messages
This feature allows the logging of messages from other PostCSS plugins. The 'clearReportedMessages' option clears the messages after they are logged, preventing duplicate reporting.
postcss([ require('autoprefixer'), require('postcss-reporter')({ clearReportedMessages: true }) ]).process(css, { from: undefined }).then(result => { console.log(result.css); });
Custom Formatter
This feature allows developers to define a custom formatter function to format the output of the messages according to their needs.
postcss([ require('postcss-reporter')({ formatter: function(input) { return 'Total warnings: ' + input.messages.length; } }) ]).process(css, { from: undefined }).then(result => { console.log(result.css); });
