About language-postcss
I'm not using postcss anymore, it's a long story, but I switched to sass. Contact me if you are interested in this project and willing to help.
language-postcss
Adds syntax highlighting to PostCSS files in Visual Studio Code.
Using PostCSS in Visual Studio Code
For the best in-editor experience, use this extension in combination with stylelint which will provide general (Post)CSS linting/syntax checks.
Add a .stylelintrc file to your project to configure rules. For a good set of maintained rules, install this npm package to your project:
npm i -D stylelint-config-recommended
Then you can extend that set of rules and just override the ones you want to change:
If you are using any non-standard postcss modules, you can use the file extensions .pcss or .postcss to prevent VSCode's built-in CSS parser from showing unwanted errors.
If you want syntax checks for postcss-nesting (i.e., require the & character) you can add this rule:
Use PostCSS syntax highlighting in *.css files
To enable PostCSS syntax highlighting in *.css files, add the following to your VS Code settings:
TODO
• [ ] Add completion for selectors, variables, properties etc.
Credits
This is a clone of PostCSS syntax with minor changes.
The original extension does not have a github repository, so open source collaboration is impossible. This is the main reason I created this clone.
