PostCSS Logical Resize [][PostCSS]

npm install @csstools/postcss-logical-resize --save-dev

[PostCSS Logical Resize] lets you use logical, rather than physical, values for resize, following the [CSS Logical Properties and Values] specification.

``css
.resize-block {
resize: block;
}

.resize-inline {
resize: inline;
}

/ becomes /

.resize-block {
resize: vertical;
}

.resize-inline {
resize: horizontal;
}
`

Usage

Add [PostCSS Logical Resize] to your project:

`bash
npm install postcss @csstools/postcss-logical-resize --save-dev
`

Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:

`js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssLogicalResize = require('@csstools/postcss-logical-resize');

postcss([
postcssLogicalResize(/ pluginOptions /)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /, processOptions /);
`

Options

$3

The blockDirection and inlineDirection options allow you to specify the direction of the block and inline axes. The default values are top-to-bottom and left-to-right respectively, which would match any latin language.

You should tweak these values so that they are specific to your language and writing mode.

`js
postcssLogicalResize({
blockDirection: 'right-to-left',
inlineDirection: 'top-to-bottom'
})
`

`css
.resize-block {
resize: block;
}

.resize-inline {
resize: inline;
}

/ becomes /

.resize-block {
resize: horizontal;
}

.resize-inline {
resize: vertical;
}
`

Each direction must be one of the following:

- top-to-bottom
- bottom-to-top
- left-to-right
- right-to-left

You can't mix two vertical directions or two horizontal directions so for example top-to-bottom and right-to-left are valid, but top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top` are not.
