## Usage

### Processing

```js
const postcssJs = require('postcss-js')
const autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer')

const prefixer = postcssJs.sync([ autoprefixer ])

const style = prefixer({
userSelect: 'none'
})

style //=> {
// WebkitUserSelect: 'none',
// MozUserSelect: 'none',
// msUserSelect: 'none',
// userSelect: 'none'
// }
```

### Compile CSS-in-JS to CSS

```js
const postcss = require('postcss')
const postcssJs = require('postcss-js')

const style = {
top: 10,
'&:hover': {
top: 5
}
};

postcss().process(style, { parser: postcssJs }).then( (result) => {
result.css //=> top: 10px;
// &:hover { top: 5px; }
})
```

### Compile CSS to CSS-in-JS

```js
const postcss = require('postcss')
const postcssJs = require('postcss-js')

const css = '--text-color: #DD3A0A; @media screen { z-index: 1; color: var(--text-color) }'
const root = postcss.parse(css)

postcssJs.objectify(root) //=> {
// '--text-color': '#DD3A0A',
// '@media screen': {
// zIndex: '1',
// color: 'var(--text-color)'
// }
// }
```

## API

### `sync(plugins): function`

Create PostCSS processor with simple API, but with only sync PostCSS plugins
support.

Processor is just a function, which takes one style object and return other.

### `async(plugins): function`

Same as `sync`, but also support async plugins.

Returned processor will return Promise.

### `parse(obj): Root`

Parse CSS-in-JS style object to PostCSS `Root` instance.

It converts numbers to pixels and parses
[Free Style] like selectors and at-rules:

```js
{
'@media screen': {
'&:hover': {
top: 10
}
}
}
```

This methods use Custom Syntax name convention, so you can use it like this:

```js
postcss().process(obj, { parser: postcssJs })
```

### `objectify(root): object`

Convert PostCSS `Root` instance to CSS-in-JS style object.

## Troubleshoot

Webpack may need some extra config for some PostCSS plugins.

### `Module parse failed`

Autoprefixer and some other plugins
need a [json-loader](https://github.com/webpack/json-loader) to import data.

So, please install this loader and add to webpack config:

```js
loaders: [
{
test: /\.json$/,
loader: "json-loader"
}
]
```
