[PostCSS Nested Calc] lets you use nested `calc()` expressions following the [CSS Values and Units 4 specification].

```pcss
.example {
	order: calc(1 + calc(2 * 2));
}

/* becomes */

.example {
	order: calc(1 + (2 * 2));
	order: calc(1 + calc(2 * 2));
}
```

## Usage

Add [PostCSS Nested Calc] to your project:

```bash
npm install postcss @csstools/postcss-nested-calc --save-dev
```

Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:

```js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssNestedCalc = require('@csstools/postcss-nested-calc');

postcss([
	postcssNestedCalc(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
```

[PostCSS Nested Calc] runs in all Node environments, with special
instructions for:

| [Node](INSTALL.md#node) | [PostCSS CLI](INSTALL.md#postcss-cli) | [Webpack](INSTALL.md#webpack) | [Create React App](INSTALL.md#create-react-app) | [Gulp](INSTALL.md#gulp) | [Grunt](INSTALL.md#grunt) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

## Options

### preserve

The `preserve` option determines whether the original notation
is preserved. By default the original values are preserved.

```js
postcssNestedCalc({ preserve: false })
```

```pcss
.example {
	order: calc(1 + calc(2 * 2));
}

/* becomes */

.example {
	order: calc(1 + (2 * 2));
}
```
