PostCSS Lab Function

PostCSS Lab Function lets you use lab and lch color functions in CSS, following the CSS Color specification.

:root {
--firebrick: lab(40%56.639);
--firebrick-a50: lch(40%68.834.5/50%);
}
/* becomes */
:root {
--firebrick: rgb(178, 34, 34);
--firebrick-a50: rgba(178, 34, 34, .5);
}

Usage

Add PostCSS Lab Function to your project:

npm install postcss postcss-lab-function --save-dev

Use it as a PostCSS plugin:

constpostcss=require('postcss');constpostcssLabFunction=require('postcss-lab-function');postcss([postcssLabFunction(/* pluginOptions */)]).process(YOUR_CSS/*, processOptions */);

PostCSS Lab Function runs in all Node environments, with special instructions for:

Node	PostCSS CLI	Webpack	Create React App	Gulp	Grunt

Options

preserve

The preserve option determines whether the original functional color notation is preserved. By default, it is not preserved.

postcssLabFunction({preserve: true})

:root {
--firebrick: lab(40%56.639);
--firebrick-a50: lch(40%68.834.5/50%);
}
/* becomes */
:root {
--firebrick: rgb(178, 34, 34);
--firebrick: lab(40%56.639);
--firebrick-a50: rgba(178, 34, 34, .5);
--firebrick-a50: lch(40%68.834.5/50%);
