# gulp-postcss

![Build Status](https://github.com/postcss/gulp-postcss/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)
[![Coverage Status](https://img.shields.io/coveralls/postcss/gulp-postcss.svg)](https://coveralls.io/r/postcss/gulp-postcss)

[PostCSS](https://github.com/postcss/postcss) gulp plugin to pipe CSS through
several plugins, but parse CSS only once.

## Install

$ npm install --save-dev postcss gulp-postcss

Install required [postcss plugins](https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/postcss-plugin) separately. E.g. for autoprefixer, you need to install [autoprefixer](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer) package.

## Basic usage

The configuration is loaded automatically from `postcss.config.js`
as [described here](https://www.npmjs.com/package/postcss-load-config),
so you don't have to specify any options.

```js
var postcss = require('gulp-postcss');
var gulp = require('gulp');

gulp.task('css', function () {
return gulp.src('./src/*.css')
.pipe(postcss())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dest'));
});
```

## Passing plugins directly

```js
var postcss = require('gulp-postcss');
var gulp = require('gulp');
var autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer');
var cssnano = require('cssnano');

gulp.task('css', function () {
var plugins = [
autoprefixer({browsers: ['last 1 version']}),
cssnano()
];
return gulp.src('./src/*.css')
.pipe(postcss(plugins))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dest'));
});
```

## Using with .pcss extension

For using gulp-postcss to have input files in .pcss format and get .css output need additional library like gulp-rename.

```js
var postcss = require('gulp-postcss');
var gulp = require('gulp');
const rename = require('gulp-rename');

gulp.task('css', function () {
return gulp.src('./src/*.pcss')
.pipe(postcss())
.pipe(rename({
extname: '.css'
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dest'));
});
```

This is done for more explicit transformation. According to [gulp plugin guidelines](https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/docs/writing-a-plugin/guidelines.md#guidelines)

> Your plugin should only do one thing, and do it well.

## Passing additional options to PostCSS

The second optional argument to gulp-postcss is passed to PostCSS.

This, for instance, may be used to enable custom parser:

```js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var postcss = require('gulp-postcss');
var nested = require('postcss-nested');
var sugarss = require('sugarss');

gulp.task('default', function () {
var plugins = [nested];
return gulp.src('in.sss')
.pipe(postcss(plugins, { parser: sugarss }))
.pipe(gulp.dest('out'));
});
```

If you are using a `postcss.config.js` file, you can pass PostCSS options as the first argument to gulp-postcss.

This, for instance, will let PostCSS know what the final file destination path is, since it will be unaware of the path given to `gulp.dest()`:

```js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var postcss = require('gulp-postcss');

gulp.task('default', function () {
return gulp.src('in.scss')
.pipe(postcss({ to: 'out/in.css' }))
.pipe(gulp.dest('out'));
});
```

## Using a custom processor

```js
var postcss = require('gulp-postcss');
var cssnext = require('postcss-cssnext');
var opacity = function (css, opts) {
css.walkDecls(function(decl) {
if (decl.prop === 'opacity') {
decl.parent.insertAfter(decl, {
prop: '-ms-filter',
value: '"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=' + (parseFloat(decl.value) * 100) + ')"'
});
}
});
};

gulp.task('css', function () {
var plugins = [
cssnext({browsers: ['last 1 version']}),
opacity
];
return gulp.src('./src/*.css')
.pipe(postcss(plugins))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dest'));
});
```

## Source map support

Source map is disabled by default, to extract map use together
with [gulp-sourcemaps](https://github.com/floridoo/gulp-sourcemaps).

```js
return gulp.src('./src/*.css')
.pipe(sourcemaps.init())
.pipe(postcss(plugins))
.pipe(sourcemaps.write('.'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dest'));
```

## Advanced usage

If you want to configure postcss on per-file-basis, you can pass a callback
that receives [vinyl file object](https://github.com/gulpjs/vinyl) and returns
`{ plugins: plugins, options: options }`. For example, when you need to
parse different extensions differntly:

```js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var postcss = require('gulp-postcss');

gulp.task('css', function () {
function callback(file) {
return {
plugins: [
require('postcss-import')({ root: file.dirname }),
require('postcss-modules')
],
options: {
parser: file.extname === '.sss' ? require('sugarss') : false
}
}
}
return gulp.src('./src/*.css')
.pipe(postcss(callback))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dest'));
});
```

The same result may be achieved with
[`postcss-load-config`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/postcss-load-config),
because it receives `ctx` with the context options and the vinyl file.

```js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var postcss = require('gulp-postcss');

gulp.task('css', function () {
var contextOptions = { modules: true };
return gulp.src('./src/*.css')
.pipe(postcss(contextOptions))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dest'));
});
```

```js
// postcss.config.js or .postcssrc.js
module.exports = function (ctx) {
var file = ctx.file;
var options = ctx;
return {
parser: file.extname === '.sss' ? : 'sugarss' : false,
plugins: {
'postcss-import': { root: file.dirname }
'postcss-modules': options.modules ? {} : false
}
}
};
```
