**Export variables from CSS to JS, and support nested rules.**

This plugin allows you to use a pseudo-class called `:export` in CSS, and properties in this pseudo-class will be exported to JavaScript.

Besides that, with the help of Vite, we can use `:export` in .scss, .sass, .less, .styl and .stylus files.

[How to use css pre-processors in Vite](https://vitejs.dev/guide/features.html#css-pre-processors)

> Note: Please use 3.x for Vite5, 2.x for Vite4, and 1.x for Vite2 and Vite3.

## Install ❀️

```shell
npm install vite-plugin-css-export -D
```

or

```shell
yarn add vite-plugin-css-export -D
```

or

```shell
pnpm add vite-plugin-css-export -D
```

## Usage πŸ’‘

### Quick Start

```typescript
// vite.config.ts
import ViteCSSExportPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-export'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

export default defineConfig({
plugins: [ViteCSSExportPlugin()]
})
```

```css
/* example.css */
:root {
--font-color: #333;
}

:export {
fontColor: var(--font-color);
fontSize: 14px;
}

:export button {
bgColor: #462dd3;
color: #fff;
}

:export menu menuItem {
bgColor: #1d243a;
color: #fff;
}
```

```typescript
// if you use in Typescript. wildcard module declarations
// env.d.ts
///

// if you want IntelliSense
interface CSSPropertiesExportedData {
fontColor: string
fontSize: string
button: {
bgColor: string
color: string
}
menu: {
menuItem: {
bgColor: string
color: string
}
}
}
```

Use the suffix `?export`.

```typescript
// main.ts
import cssResult from './assets/style/example.css?export'

console.log(cssResult)

// output
// {
// fontColor: "var(--font-color)",
// fontSize: "14px",
// button: {
// bgColor: "#462dd3",
// color: "#fff"
// },
// menu: {
// menuItem: {
// bgColor: "#1d243a",
// color: "#fff"
// }
// }
// }
```

### CSS Pre-processor

If you are using CSS pre-processor then you can use nested rules.

```scss
// .scss
:root {
--font-color: #333;
}

$menuItemBgColor: #1d243a;

:export {
fontColor: var(--font-color);
fontSize: 14px;
button {
bgcolor: #462dd3;
color: #fff;
}
menu {
menuItem {
bgcolor: $menuItemBgColor;
color: #fff;
}
}
}
```

### CSS Module

When used with CSS module, some simple configuration is required. By default, the exported results will not include CSS module related content (except what's in `:export`) .

```typescript
// vite.config.ts
import ViteCSSExportPlugin from 'vite-plugin-css-export'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
ViteCSSExportPlugin({
cssModule: {
isGlobalCSSModule: false,
enableExportMerge: true, // default false
sharedDataExportName: 'cssExportedData' // default 'sharedData'
}
})
]
})
```

```scss
// example.module.scss
:root {
--font-color: #333;
}

$menuItemBgColor: #1d243a;

.base-button {
background-color: transparent;
}

// alias for :export
:share {
fontcolor: var(--font-color);
fontsize: 14px;

button {
bgcolor: #462dd3;
color: #fff;
}

menu {
menuItem {
bgcolor: $menuItemBgColor;
color: #fff;
}
}
}

:export {
fontColor: var(--font-color);
fontSize: 14px;
}
```

```typescript
// main.ts
import cssModuleResult from './assets/style/example.module.scss?export'

console.log(cssModuleResult)

// output
// {
// cssExportedData: {
// fontColor: "var(--font-color)",
// fontSize: "14px",
// button: {
// bgColor: "#462dd3",
// color: "#fff"
// },
// menu: {
// menuItem: {
// bgColor: "#1d243a",
// color: "#fff"
// }
// }
// },
// fontColor: "var(--font-color)",
// fontSize: "14px",
// "base-button": "_base-button_1k9w3_5"
// }

// when enableExportMerge is false
// output
// {
// fontColor: "var(--font-color)",
// fontSize: "14px",
// button: {
// bgColor: "#462dd3",
// color: "#fff"
// },
// menu: {
// menuItem: {
// bgColor: "#1d243a",
// color: "#fff"
// }
// }
// }
```

### Note ⚠

If the plugin is used with CSS module, please replace `:export` with `:share` to avoid unknown conflicts with `:export` provided by CSS module.

> In fact you can still use `:export`, which won't cause a runtime error, `:share` is an alias for `:export`.

Please do not type the following characters in property names:

```bash

"/", "~", ">", "<", "[", "]", "(", ")", ".", "#", "@", ":", "*"
```

Because this plugin is applied after `vite:css`, all parsing actions are based on the result returned by `vite:css`. When you type the above characters, there are some characters that the plugin cannot give correct warning/error message, for example: `@`

```scss
// your code
:export {
fontColor: var(--font-color);
fontSize: 14px;

button {
bgcolor: #462dd3;
color: #fff;
}

@menu {
menuItem {
bgcolor: $menuItemBgColor;
color: #fff;
}
}
}
```

```css
/** after vite:css */
:export {
fontColor: var(--font-color);
fontSize: 14px;
}
:export button {
bgColor: #462dd3;
color: #fff;
}
/** unable to track the error @menu */
@menu {
:export menuItem {
bgColor: #1d243a;
color: #fff;
}
}
```

```javascript
// after vite:css-export
{
fontColor: "var(--font-color)",
fontSize: "14px",
button: {
bgColor: "#462dd3",
color: "#fff"
},
// menu is missing
menuItem: {
bgColor: "#1d243a",
color: "#fff"
}
}
```

## Options βš™οΈ

### shouldTransform

- **type:** `(id: string) => boolean`

- **default:** `undefined`

- **description:** This option allows you to additionally specify which style files should be transformed, not just `?export`. Usage:

```typescript
// vite.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
ViteCSSExportPlugin({
shouldTransform(id) {
const include = path.resolve(
process.cwd(),
'example/assets/style/share-to-js'
)
return path.resolve(id).indexOf(include) > -1
}
})
]
})
```

### propertyNameTransformer

- **type:** `(key: string) => string`

- **default:** `undefined`

- **description:** The option allows you to define a method for transforming CSS property names, but doesn`t transform additionalData. The plugin has some built-in methods. Usage:

```typescript
// vite.config.ts
import {
default as ViteCSSExportPlugin,
kebabCaseToUpperCamelCase,
kebabCaseToLowerCamelCase,
kebabCaseToPascalCase
} from 'vite-plugin-css-export'

export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
ViteCSSExportPlugin({
propertyNameTransformer: kebabCaseToUpperCamelCase
})
]
})
```

### additionalData

- **type:** `SharedCSSData`

- **default:** `{}`

- **description:** The option allows you to append data to all processed results, we can share some common variables here.

### cssModule

#### cssModule.isGlobalCSSModule

- **type:** `boolean`

- **default:** `false`

- **description:** Whether the CSS module is used globally, not just in the `.module.[suffix]` file.

#### cssModule.enableExportMerge

- **type:** `boolean`

- **default:** `false`

- **description:** When value is true, `sharedData` will be merged with the result of CSS module, otherwise only `sharedData` will be exported. It won't work when using `?inline`

> _`sharedData` is the parsed result of the plugin._

#### cssModule.sharedDataExportName

- **type:** `string`

- **default:** `'sharedData'`

- **description:** When `cssModule.enableExportMerge` is true, modify the property name of `sharedData` in the merged result. It won't work when using `?inline`
