Unix Build status Windows Build status Version

PostCSS plugin to transform @import rules by inlining content.

This plugin can consume local files, node modules or web_modules. To resolve path of an @import rule, it can look into root directory (by default process.cwd()), web_modules, node_modules or local modules. When importing a module, it will look for index.css or file referenced in package.json in the style or main fields. You can also provide manually multiples paths where to look at.

Notes:

  • This plugin should probably be used as the first plugin of your list. This way, other plugins will work on the AST as if there were only a single file to process, and will probably work as you can expect.
  • This plugin works great with postcss-url plugin, which will allow you to adjust assets url() (or even inline them) after inlining imported files.
  • In order to optimize output, this plugin will only import a file once on a given scope (root, media query...). Tests are made from the path & the content of imported files (using a hash table). If this behavior is not what you want, look at skipDuplicates option
  • If you are looking for glob, or sass like imports (prefixed partials), please look at postcss-easy-import (which use this plugin under the hood).
  • This plugin attempts to follow the CSS @import spec; @import statements must precede all other statements (besides @charset).

Installation

$ npm install postcss postcss-import-sync2

Usage

Unless your stylesheet is in the same place where you run postcss (process.cwd()), you will need to use from option to make relative imports work.

// dependencies
var fs = require("fs")
var postcss = require("postcss")
var atImport = require("postcss-import-sync2")

// css to be processed
var css = fs.readFileSync("css/input.css", "utf8")

// process css
postcss()
  .use(atImport())
  .process(css, {
    // `from` option is needed here
    from: "css/input.css"
  })
  .then(function (result) {
    var output = result.css

    console.log(output)
  })

css/input.css:

/* can consume `node_modules`, `web_modules` or local modules */
@import "cssrecipes-defaults"; /* == @import "../node_modules/cssrecipes-defaults/index.css"; */
@import "normalize.css"; /* == @import "../node_modules/normalize.css/normalize.css"; */

@import "foo.css"; /* relative to css/ according to `from` option above */

@import "bar.css" (min-width: 25em);

body {
  background: black;
}

will give you:

/* ... content of ../node_modules/cssrecipes-defaults/index.css */
/* ... content of ../node_modules/normalize.css/normalize.css */

/* ... content of css/foo.css */

@media (min-width: 25em) {
/* ... content of css/bar.css */
}

body {
  background: black;
}

Checkout the tests for more examples.

Options

sync

Type: boolean Default: false

Whether to process under sync mode, typically for require hooks

root

Type: String Default: process.cwd() or dirname of the postcss from

Define the root where to resolve path (eg: place where node_modules are). Should not be used that much. Note: nested @import will additionally benefit of the relative dirname of imported files.

path

Type: String|Array Default: []

A string or an array of paths in where to look for files.

plugins

Type: Array Default: undefined

An array of plugins to be applied on each imported files.

resolve

Type: Function Default: null

You can provide a custom path resolver with this option. This function gets (id, basedir, importOptions) arguments and should return a path, an array of paths or a promise resolving to the path(s). If you do not return an absolute path, your path will be resolved to an absolute path using the default resolver. You can use resolve for this.

load

Type: Function Default: null

You can overwrite the default loading way by setting this option. This function gets (filename, importOptions) arguments and returns content or promised content.

skipDuplicates

Type: Boolean Default: true

By default, similar files (based on the same content) are being skipped. It's to optimize output and skip similar files like normalize.css for example. If this behavior is not what you want, just set this option to false to disable it.

addModulesDirectories

Type: Array Default: []

An array of folder names to add to Node's resolver. Values will be appended to the default resolve directories: ["node_modules", "web_modules"].

This option is only for adding additional directories to default resolver. If you provide your own resolver via the resolve configuration option above, then this value will be ignored.

Example with some options

var postcss = require("postcss")
var atImport = require("postcss-import-sync2")

postcss()
  .use(atImport({
    path: ["src/css"],
  }))
  .process(cssString)
  .then(function (result) {
    var css = result.css
  })

dependency Message Support

postcss-import-sync2 adds a message to result.messages for each @import. Messages are in the following format:

{
  type: 'dependency',
  file: absoluteFilePath,
  parent: fileContainingTheImport
}

This is mainly for use by postcss runners that implement file watching.

6.1.0 - 2015-07-07 YANKED

This release was not respecting semver and introduced a major breaking change. It has been unpublished for now.

6.0.0 - 2015-06-17

  • Changed: warnings messages are now using postcss message api (4.1.x)
  • Added: warning when a import statement has not been closed correctly (#42)

5.2.2 - 2015-04-19

  • Fixed: globbed imports work for module directories (#37)

5.2.1 - 2015-04-17

  • Fixed: regression of 5.1.0: files which only contain same @import rules were skip (#31)

5.1.0 - 2015-03-27

  • Added: files with the same content will only be imported once. Previously, only the full path was used to determine if a file has already been imported in a given scope. Now, we also test create a hash with the content of the file to check if a file with the same content has not already been imported. This might be usefull if some modules you import are importing the same library from different places (eg: normalize might be as dep for several modules located in different places in node_modules) (#29)

  • Fixed: irregular whitespace that throw syntax error in some environnements

4.1.0 - 2014-12-12

  • Added: web_modules is now in module directories that are used to resolve @import (#13).

4.0.0 - 2014-12-11

  • Added: windows compatibility (by building on AppVeyor)
  • Added: root option

3.2.0 - 2014-11-24

  • Added: onImport callback offers a way to get list of imported files (ref)

3.1.0 - 2014-11-24

  • Added: ability to consume local modules (fix #12)

3.0.0 - 2014-11-21

  • Added: ability to consume node modules (ref). This means you don't have to add node_modules in the path anymore (or using @import "../node_modules/..."). Also, index.css can be ommited.

This means something like this

@import "../node_modules/my-css-on-npm/index.css";

can be written like this

@import "my-css-on-npm";

Dependencies of dependencies should be resolved as well.

Note that npm resolution is done after the default local behavior.

  • Changed: When importing a file multiple times in the same scope (same level of media queries), file will only be imported the first time. This is done to avoid having multiples outputs of a npm dep used multiples times in different modules.

  • Added: Support empty files (cssnext/#24)

1.0.0 - 2014-08-10
