[PostCSS Progressive Custom Properties] is a utility plugin to correctly declare Custom Property fallbacks and enhancements. | |
⚠️ It is not intended to be used directly by stylesheet authors. | |
Meant to be included in other PostCSS plugins that provide CSS value transforms as fallbacks. | |
[Custom Properties are not discarded like regular declarations when invalid.](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-variables-1/#invalid-variables) | |
This makes it tricky to provide fallback values for older browsers. | |
The solution is to wrap Custom Property declarations in an `@supports` rule. | |
```pcss | |
:root { | |
/* fallback */ | |
--a-color: red; | |
/* progressive enhancement */ | |
--a-color: oklch(40% 0.234 0.39 / var(--opacity-50)); | |
} | |
/* becomes */ | |
:root { | |
--a-color: red; | |
} | |
@supports (color: oklch(0% 0 0)) { | |
:root { | |
--a-color: oklch(40% 0.234 0.39 / var(--opacity-50)); | |
} | |
} | |
``` | |
## Ignored values | |
`initial` and `<white space>` are ignored. | |
```pcss | |
.initial { | |
--prop-1: red; | |
--prop-1: initial; | |
} | |
.white-space { | |
--prop-1: red; | |
--prop-1:; | |
--prop-2: red; | |
--prop-2: ; | |
--prop-3: red; | |
--prop-3: ; | |
} | |
/* remains */ | |
.initial { | |
--prop-1: red; | |
--prop-1: initial; | |
} | |
.white-space { | |
--prop-1: red; | |
--prop-1:; | |
--prop-2: red; | |
--prop-2: ; | |
--prop-3: red; | |
--prop-3: ; | |
} | |
``` | |
## Usage | |
Add [PostCSS Progressive Custom Properties] to your project: | |
```bash | |

postcssProgressiveCustomProperties() | |
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */); | |
``` | |
## @supports | |
This plugin wraps Custom Property override declarations in an `@supports` rule. | |
With PostCSS 8 this trigger declaration visitors to run again. | |
