rework

CSS manipulations built on css,
allowing you to automate vendor prefixing, create your own properties,
inline images, anything you can imagine! Also works in the browser as
a component.

Installation

with node:

$ npm install rework

or in the browser:

$ component install visionmedia/rework

rework(1)


Usage: rework [options]

Options:

  -h, --help            output usage information
  -V, --version         output the version number
  -v, --vendors <list>  specify list of vendors
  -e, --ease            add additional easing functions
  --vars                add css variable support

for example:

$ rework -v webkit,moz < my.css > my.reworked.css

API

rework(css)

Return a new Rework instance for the given string of css.

Rework#vendors(prefixes)

Define vendor prefixes that plugins may utilize,
however most plugins do and should accept direct passing
of vendor prefixes as well.

Rework#use(fn)

Use the given plugin fn. A rework “plugin” is simply
a function accepting the stylesheet object and Rework instance,
view the definitions in ./lib/plugins for examples.

Rework#toString(options)

Return the string representation of the manipulated css. Optionally
you may compress the output with .toString({ compress: true })

Plugins

The following plugins are bundled with rework:

media macros — define your own @media queries
ease — several additional easing functions
at2x — serve high resolution images
prefix — add vendor prefixes to properties
prefixValue — add vendor prefixes to values
prefixSelectors — add prefixes to selectors
opacity — add IE opacity support
url — rewrite url()s with a callback function
vars — add css variable support
keyframes — add @keyframe vendor prefixing
colors — add colour helpers like rgba(#fc0, .5)
references — add property references support height: @width etc
mixin — add custom property logic with mixing
extend — add extend: selector support

.extend()

Add support for extending existing rulesets:


button {
  padding: 5px 10px;
  border: 1px solid #eee;
  border-bottom-color: #ddd;
}

.green {
  background: green;
  padding: 10px 15px
}

a.join {
  extend: button;
  extend: .green;
}

a.button
input[type='submit'],
input[type='button'] {
  extend: button
}

yields:


button,
a.button,
input[type='submit'],
input[type='button'],
a.join {
  padding: 5px 10px;
  border: 1px solid #eee;
  border-bottom-color: #ddd;
}

.green,
a.join {
  background: green;
  padding: 10px 15px
}

Optionally selectors may be prefixed with % to create sass-style “placeholder”
selectors, which do not become part of the output. For example:

%dark-button {
  background: black;
}

%dark-button:hover {
  background: rgba(0,0,0,.5);
}

%dark-button:hover .icon {
  color: rgba(255,255,255,.5);
}

button,
.actions a {
  extend: %dark-button;
  padding: 5px 10px;
}

yields:

button,
.actions a {
  background: black
}

button:hover,
.actions a:hover {
  background: rgba(0,0,0,.5)
}

button:hover .icon,
.actions a:hover .icon {
  color: rgba(255,255,255,.5)
}

button,
.actions a {
  padding: 5px 10px
}

.media(obj)

Define media macros with the given obj.

For example define two contrived custom media types, “phone” and “phone-landscape”:

style.use(rework.media({
  'phone': 'only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 480px)',
  'phone-landscape': 'only screen and (min-width : 321px)'
}))

@media phone {
  body {
    background: 'green'
  }
}

@media phone-landscape {
  body {
    background: 'red'
  }
}

yields:

@media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 480px) {
  body {
    background: 'green'
  }
}

@media only screen and (min-width : 321px) {
  body {
    background: 'red'
  }
}

.ease()

Adds the following list of additional easing functions:

ease-in-out-back – cubic-bezier(0.680, -0.550, 0.265, 1.550)

.at2x([vendors])

Add retina support for images, with optional vendor prefixes,
defaulting to .vendors().

.logo {
  background-image: url('component.png');
  width: 289px;
  height: 113px
}

yields:

.logo {
  background-image: url('component.png');
  width: 289px;
  height: 113px
}

@media all and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5) {
  .logo {
    background-image: url("component@2x.png");
    background-size: contain
  }
}

.prefix(property|properties, [vendors])

Prefix property or array of properties with optional vendors defaulting to .vendors().

.button {
  border-radius: 5px;
}

yields:

.button {
  -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
  -moz-border-radius: 5px;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

.prefixValue(value, [vendors])

Prefix value with optional vendors defaulting to .vendors().

button {
  transition: height, transform 2s, width 0.3s linear;
}

yields:

button {
  -webkit-transition: height, -webkit-transform 2s, width 0.3s linear;
  -moz-transition: height, -moz-transform 2s, width 0.3s linear;
  transition: height, transform 2s, width 0.3s linear
}

This works with other values as well, such as gradients. For example:

.use(rework.prefixValue('linear-gradient'))
.use(rework.prefixValue('radial-gradient'))


button {
  background: linear-gradient(#eee, #ddd);
}

button.round {
  border-radius: 50%;
  background-image: radial-gradient(#cde6f9, #81a8cb);
}

body {
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#fff, #eee);
}

yields:

button {
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#eee, #ddd);
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(#eee, #ddd);
  background: linear-gradient(#eee, #ddd)
}

button.round {
  border-radius: 50%;
  background-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(#cde6f9, #81a8cb);
  background-image: -moz-radial-gradient(#cde6f9, #81a8cb);
  background-image: radial-gradient(#cde6f9, #81a8cb)
}

body {
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#fff, #eee)
}

.prefixSelectors(string)

Prefix selectors with the given string.

h1 {
  font-weight: bold;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #ddd;
}

yields:

#dialog h1 {
  font-weight: bold;
}

#dialog a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #ddd;
}

.opacity()

Add IE opacity support.

ul {
  opacity: 1 !important;
}

yields:

ul {
  opacity: 1 !important;
  -ms-filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=100) !important;
  filter: alpha(opacity=100) !important
}

.url(callback)

Map url() calls, useful for inlining images as data-uris, converting
relative paths to absolute etc.

function rewrite(url) {
  return 'http://example.com' + url;
}

rework(str)
  .use(rework.url(rewrite))
  .toString()

.mixin(object)

Add user-defined mixins, functions that are invoked for a given property, and
passed the value. Returning an object that represents one or more properties.

For example the following overflow mixin allows the designer
to utilize overflow: ellipsis; to automatically assign associated
properties preventing wrapping etc.

var css = rework(css)
  .use(rework.mixin({ overflow: ellipsis }))
  .toString()

function ellipsis(type) {
  if ('ellipsis' == type) {
    return {
      'white-space': 'nowrap',
      'overflow': 'hidden',
      'text-overflow': 'ellipsis'
    }
  }

  return type;
}

Mixins in use look just like regular CSS properties:


h1 {
  overflow: ellipsis;
}

yields:

h1 {
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis
}

.references()

Add property reference support.

button {
  width: 120px;
}

button.round {
  width: 50px;
  height: @width;
  line-height: @height;
  background-size: @width @height;
}

yields:

button {
  width: 120px
}

button.round {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  line-height: 50px;
  background-size: 50px 50px
}

.vars()

Add variable support. Note that this does not cascade like the CSS variable
spec does, thus this is not some sort of fallback mechanism, just a useful
feature.

:root {
  var-header-color: #06c;
  var-main-color: #c06;
}

div {
  var-accent-background: linear-gradient(to top, var(main-color), white);
}

h1 {
  background-color: var(header-color);
}

.content {
  background: var(accent-background) !important;
}

yields:

:root {
  var-header-color: #06c;
  var-main-color: #c06
}

div {
  var-accent-background: linear-gradient(to top, #c06, white)
}

h1 {
  background-color: #06c
}

.content {
  background: linear-gradient(to top, #c06, white) !important
}

.colors()

Add color manipulation helpers such as rgba(#fc0, .5).

button {
  background: rgba(#ccc, .5);
}

yields:

button {
  background: rgba(204, 204, 204, .5);
}

.keyframes([vendors])

Prefix @keyframes with vendors defaulting to .vendors().
Ordering with .keyframes() is important, as other plugins
may traverse into the newly generated rules, for example the
following will allow .prefix() to prefix keyframe border-radius
property, .prefix() is also smart about which keyframes definition
it is within, and will not add extraneous vendor definitions.

var css = rework(read('examples/keyframes.css', 'utf8'))
  .vendors(['-webkit-', '-moz-'])
  .use(rework.keyframes())
  .use(rework.prefix('border-radius'))
  .toString()

@keyframes animation {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
  }

  to {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

yields:

@keyframes animation {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
  }

  to {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

@-webkit-keyframes animation {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
  }

  to {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

Example

example.js:

var rework = require('rework')
  , read = require('fs').readFileSync
  , str = read('example.css', 'utf8');

var css = rework(str)
  .vendors(['-webkit-', '-moz-'])
  .use(rework.keyframes())
  .use(rework.prefix('border-radius'))
  .toString()

console.log(css);

example.css:

@keyframes animation {
  from { opacity: 0; border-radius: 5px }
  to { opacity: 1; border-radius: 5px }
}

stdout:

@keyframes animation {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    border-radius: 5px
  }

  to {
    opacity: 1;
    border-radius: 5px
  }
}

@-webkit-keyframes animation {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px
  }

  to {
    opacity: 1;
    -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px
  }
}

@-moz-keyframes animation {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px
  }

  to {
    opacity: 1;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px
  }
}

Example Plugin

Suppose for example you wanted to create your own
properties for positions, allowing you to write
them as follows:


#logo {
  absolute: top left;
}

#logo {
  relative: top 5px left;
}

#logo {
  fixed: top 5px left 10px;
}

yielding:

#logo {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0
}

#logo {
  position: relative;
  top: 5px;
  left: 0
}

#logo {
  position: fixed;
  top: 5px;
  left: 10px
}

This is how you could define the plugin:


var rework = require('rework')
  , read = require('fs').readFileSync;

function positions() {
  var positions = ['absolute', 'relative', 'fixed'];

  return function(style){
    style.rules.forEach(function(rule){
      rule.declarations.forEach(function(decl, i){
        if (!~positions.indexOf(decl.property)) return;
        var args = decl.value.split(/\s+/);
        var arg, n;

        // remove original
        rule.declarations.splice(i, 1);

        // position prop
        rule.declarations.push({
          property: 'position',
          value: decl.property
        });

        // position
        while (args.length) {
          arg = args.shift();
          n = parseFloat(args[0]) ? args.shift() : 0;
          rule.declarations.push({
            property: arg,
            value: n
          });
        }

      });
    });
  }
}

var css = rework(read('positions.css', 'utf8'))
  .use(positions())
  .toString()

console.log(css);
