Quick start

1. Download and install Node.js.

2. Installation cssgrace.

npm install cssgrace

1. test.js

npm install chokidar

var fs       = require('fs')
var cssgrace = require('cssgrace')
 
var src = 'src/input.css'
console.info('Watching…\nModify the input.css and save.')
 
chokidar.watch(src, {
  ignored: /[\/\\]\./,
  persistent: true
}).on('all',
  function(event, path, stats) {
    var css = fs.readFileSync(src, 'utf8')
    fs.writeFileSync('build/output.css', cssgrace.pack(css))
  })

1. input.css：

.foo::after {
  position: center;
  width: 210px;
  height: 80px;
  background: rgba(112, 26, 0, .3);
}
 
.bar {
  display: inline-block;
  opacity: .5;
}

1. node test，we will get output.css.

.foo:after {
  position: absolute;
  left: 50%;
  top: 50%;
  margin-left: -105px;
  margin-top: -40px;
  width: 210px;
  height: 80px;
  background: rgba(112, 26, 0, .3);
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#4c701a00', endColorstr='#4c701a00');
}
 
:root .foo:after {
  filter: none\9;
}
 
.bar {

More features

Automatic generation of 2x background compatible code

input:

.foo {
  background-image: -webkit-image-set(
                    url(../img/[e-mail]) 1x,
                    url(../img/[e-mail]) 2x);
}

output:

.foo {
  background-image: url(../img/[e-mail]); /* Fallback */
  background-image: -webkit-image-set(
                    url(../img/[e-mail]) 1x,
                    url(../img/[e-mail]) 2x);
}
 
@media only screen and (min-resolution: 2dppx) {
  .foo {
    background-image: url(../img/[e-mail]);
    background-size: 320px 427px;
}
}

Get the background image's width or height

}

position:center polyfill

Automatic calculation of margin value, the mother will never have to worry about my math is not good.

  display: block;
}
 
.foo {
  position: center;
  display: block;
}
 
.foo {

output:

.foo {
  position: absolute;
}
 
.foo {
  position: center;
}
 
.foo {
  float: left;
}

Absolutely positioned elements floating effect

  float: left;
}

output:

.foo {
  position: absolute;
}

Missing property auto completion

resize

.foo {
  resize: vertical;
}
 
.foo {
  resize: both;
  overflow: hidden;

.foo {
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
