CSSfmt is a tool that automatically formats CSS source code, inspired by Gofmt, and built on top of the PostCSS ecosystem.
CSSfmt can format following code:
- Vanilla CSS
- Nested selectors syntax like SCSS, Less, Stylus and processor using postcss-nested.
- Most of all SCSS syntax.
CSSfmt'd code is:
- easier to write : never worry about minor formatting concerns while hacking away.
- easier to read : when all code looks the same you need not mentally convert others' formatting style into something you can understand.
- easier to maintain : mechanical changes to the source don't cause unrelated changes to the file's formatting; diffs show only the real changes.
- uncontroversial : never have a debate about spacing or brace position ever again!
Example
Nested selectors
Input (input.css):
@media screen and ( min-width :699px)
{.foo + .bar,.hoge{
font-size :12px ! important ; ~ .fuga {
padding : 10px 5px;
color:green;
>p
{
line-height : 1.5 ;
}}}
}
.class, #id
{ color : blue;
border :solid #ddd 1px}
Run the following command:
$ cssfmt input.css
Yield:
@media screen and (min-width: 699px) {
.foo + .bar,
.hoge {
font-size: 12px !important;
~ .fuga {
padding: 10px 5px;
color: green;
> p {
line-height: 1.5;
}
}
}
}
.class,
#id {
color: blue;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
}
SCSS syntax
Input (input.scss):
@mixin clearfix () { &:before,
&:after {
content:" ";
display : table; }
&:after {clear: both;}
}.class
{
padding:10px;@include clearfix();}
.base { color: red; }
%base
{
padding: 12px
}
.foo{
@extend .base;}
.bar
{ @extend %base;
}
Yield:
@mixin clearfix () {
&:before,
&:after {
content: " ";
display: table;
}
&:after {
clear: both;
}
}
.class {
padding: 10px;
@include clearfix();
}
.base {
color: red;
}
%base {
padding: 12px;
}
.foo {
@extend .base;
}
.bar {
@extend %base;
}
