PostCSS Color Hex Alpha lets you use 4 & 8 character hex color notation in CSS, following the CSS Color Module specification.
```pcss body { background: #9d9c; }
/ becomes /
body { background: rgba(153,221,153,0.8); } ```
Add PostCSS Color Hex Alpha to your project:
bash
npm install postcss postcss-color-hex-alpha --save-dev
Use it as a PostCSS plugin:
```js const postcss = require('postcss'); const postcssColorHexAlpha = require('postcss-color-hex-alpha');
postcss([ postcssColorHexAlpha(/ pluginOptions /) ]).process(YOUR_CSS /, processOptions /); ```
PostCSS Color Hex Alpha runs in all Node environments, with special instructions for:
| Node | PostCSS CLI | Webpack | Create React App | Gulp | Grunt | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
The preserve
option determines whether the original notation
is preserved. By default, it is not preserved.
js
postcssColorHexAlpha({ preserve: true })
```pcss body { background: #9d9c; }
/ becomes /
body { background: rgba(153,221,153,0.8); background: #9d9c; } ```
