> [PostCSS] plugin enabling custom property sets references

Refer to [`postcss-custom-properties`](https://github.com/postcss/postcss-custom-properties#postcss-custom-properties-) for DOMless limitations.

## Web Platform status

Spec (editor's draft): https://tabatkins.github.io/specs/css-apply-rule
Browser support: https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5753701012602880

:warning: The `@apply` rule and custom property sets most likely won't get any more support from browser vendors as the spec is yet considered deprecated and [alternative solutions](https://tabatkins.github.io/specs/css-shadow-parts) are being discussed.

## Installation

```
npm install postcss-apply --save-dev
```

## Usage

```js
const fs = require('fs');
const postcss = require('postcss');
const apply = require('postcss-apply');

let input = fs.readFileSync('input.css', 'utf8');

postcss()
.use(apply)
.process(input)
.then(result => {
fs.writeFileSync('output.css', result.css);
});
```

## Examples

### In CSS declared sets

```css
/* input */

:root {
--toolbar-theme: {
background-color: rebeccapurple;
color: white;
border: 1px solid green;
};
}

.Toolbar {
@apply --toolbar-theme;
}
```

```css
/* output */

.Toolbar {
background-color: rebeccapurple;
color: white;
border: 1px solid green;
}
```

### In JS declared sets

```js
const themes = {
/* Set names won't be transformed, just `--` will be prepended. */
'toolbar-theme': {
/* Declaration properties can either be camel or kebab case. */
backgroundColor: 'rebeccapurple',
color: 'white',
border: '1px solid green',
},
};

[...]
postcss().use(apply({ sets: themes }))
[...]
```

```css
/* input */

.Toolbar {
@apply --toolbar-theme;
}
```

```css
/* output */

.Toolbar {
background-color: rebeccapurple;
color: white;
border: 1px solid green;
}
```

## options

### `preserve`
type: `Boolean`
default: `false`
Allows for keeping resolved declarations and `@apply` rules alongside.

### `sets`
type: `{ [customPropertyName: string]: Object | string }`
default: `{}`
Allows you to pass an object or string of custom property sets for `:root`.
These definitions will be prepended, in such overridden by the one declared in CSS if they share the same name.
The keys are automatically prefixed with the CSS `--` to make it easier to share sets in your codebase.
