PostCSS Calc lets you reduce calc()
references whenever it's possible. This
can be particularly useful with the PostCSS Custom Properties plugin.
When multiple units are mixed together in the same expression, the calc()
statement is left as is, to fallback to the W3C calc() implementation.
bash
npm install postcss-calc
```js // dependencies var fs = require("fs") var postcss = require("postcss") var calc = require("postcss-calc")
// css to be processed var css = fs.readFileSync("input.css", "utf8")
// process css var output = postcss() .use(calc()) .process(css) .css ```
Example (with PostCSS Custom Properties enabled as well):
```js // dependencies var fs = require("fs") var postcss = require("postcss") var customProperties = require("postcss-custom-properties") var calc = require("postcss-calc")
// css to be processed var css = fs.readFileSync("input.css", "utf8")
// process css var output = postcss() .use(customProperties()) .use(calc()) .process(css) .css ```
Using this input.css
:
```css :root { --main-font-size: 16px; }
body { font-size: var(--main-font-size); }
h1 { font-size: calc(var(--main-font-size) * 2); height: calc(100px - 2em); margin-bottom: calc( var(--main-font-size) * 1.5 ) } ```
you will get:
```css body { font-size: 16px }
h1 { font-size: 32px; height: calc(100px - 2em); margin-bottom: 24px } ```
