What is postcss-syntax?

The postcss-syntax npm package is a syntax parser for PostCSS that allows you to parse and stringify CSS, LESS, SCSS, and other syntaxes in a unified way. It enables PostCSS to understand these various syntaxes, which can be useful for tasks such as linting, minification, and applying other PostCSS plugins to non-standard CSS files.

What are postcss-syntax's main functionalities?

Parsing CSS-like syntaxes

This feature allows you to use PostCSS to parse different CSS-like syntaxes such as SCSS or LESS. The code sample demonstrates how to process a source string with PostCSS using the postcss-syntax package to handle different syntaxes.

const postcss = require('postcss');
const syntax = require('postcss-syntax');

postcss(plugins).process(source, { syntax: syntax }).then(result => {
  console.log(result.content);
});

Stringifying parsed syntaxes

After parsing CSS-like syntaxes, postcss-syntax can also be used to stringify the parsed abstract syntax tree (AST) back into a CSS string. This is useful for transforming code and then outputting the result.

const postcss = require('postcss');
const syntax = require('postcss-syntax');

const root = postcss.parse(source, { syntax: syntax });
const css = root.toString(syntax);
