# PreCSS [PostCSS Logo][postcss]

[![NPM Version][npm-img]][npm-url]
[![Build Status][cli-img]][cli-url]
[![Support Chat][git-img]][git-url]

[PreCSS] lets you use Sass-like markup and staged CSS features in CSS.

```scss
$blue: #056ef0;
$column: 200px;

.menu {
width: calc(4 * $column);
}

.menu_link {
background: $blue;
width: $column;
}

/* becomes */

.menu {
width: calc(4 * 200px);
}

.menu_link {
background: #056ef0;
width: 200px;
}
```

PreCSS combines Sass-like syntactical sugar — like variables, conditionals, and
iterators — with emerging CSS features — like logical and custom properties,
media query ranges, and image sets.
