# CSS To Nest

PostCSS Logo

[![NPM Version][npm-img]][npm] [![Build Status][ci-img]][ci]

[CSS To Nest] transforms unnested CSS into nested CSS, following the [CSS Nesting Module] specification. This might be helpful for updating a project with a single file of legacy CSS.

```css
/* before */
.foo .bar {
color: blue;
}

.foo .bar .pre.mon {
color: white;
}

.foo .bar .pre {
color: red;
}

/* after */
.foo {
@nest & .bar {
color: blue;

@nest & .pre {
color: red;

@nest &.mon {
color: white;
}
}
}
}
```
