postcss-custom-units

A PostCSS plugin allowing for on-the-fly custom units for uniform spacing, vertical-rhythm, and baseline grids.

Examples

Create a value, then utilize that value. Let's say you wanted to build you line-heights off a baseline grid:

h1 {
  --unit-bf: 16px;
  --unit-bl: 24px;
  font-size: 2bf;
  line-height: 2.75bl;
  margin-top: .25bl;
}

Yields:

h1 {
  --unit-bf: 16px;
  --unit-bl: 24px;
  font-size: 32px;
  line-height: 66px;
  margin-top: 6px;
}

Options

Default:

{
  prefix: 'unit',
}

• unit (String) Allows you to change the prefix customUnits uses to watch for your inline units.

Usage

Install:

npm install postcss-custom-units --save

Then include the plugin:

postcss([
  require('postcss-custom-units')(options)
]).process

See PostCSS docs for examples for your environment.
