jamen / dist-css

Create dist version of your CSS.

@jamen/dist-css

Create dist version of your CSS.

Combines tools for adding comptibility and optimizations to your CSS compiler's output.

$ dist-css dist/app.css

This will

• Run postcss with autoprefixer.
• Run clean-css.
• Use sourcemaps when given input and output paths.

Also see @jamen/dist-js for your JS files.

Install

$ npm i -D @jamen/dist-css

Usage

dist-css [file] [...options]

The easiest way to use the tool is transforming a file in place:

$ dist-css dist/app.css

It will also detect when you want to use stdio:

# Using stdout
$ dist-css dist/app.css | wc -c
6780

# Using stdin
$ echo "* { box-sizing: border-box }" | dist-css dist/app.css
finished dist-css at dist/app.css

# Using both
$ echo "a { ... }" | dist-css > dist/app.css

Alternative to this, use the --input, -i and --output, -o flags, where if a flag is absent it uses the stdio equivalent instead.

Also note that you can only accept a sourcemap with an input path, and write a sourcemap with an output path. Inline sourcemaps are not supported out of simplicity.

To disable sourcemaps regardless, supply the --no-sourcemap flag:

$ dist-css --no-sourcemap dist/app.css
