PostCSS For Plugin

[

][postcss]

[PostCSS] plugin that enables @for loop syntax in your CSS.

Try it out!

You can try postcss-for directly from [codepen].
Just choose [PostCSS] as a preprocessor and pick desired plugin from the list.

Usage

``js
postcss([require("postcss-for")]);
`

Note, that unlike the Sass @for, postcss-for in the example below iterates from 1 to 3 _inclusively_.

`css
@for $i from 1 to 3 {
.b-$i {
width: $(i) px;
}
}
`

`css
.b-1 {
width: 1px;
}
.b-2 {
width: 2px;
}
.b-3 {
width: 3px;
}
`

This plugin must be set before [postcss-nested] and [postcss-simple-vars].
Therefore dollar variable cannot be used as a loop range parameter.
If you do want to use predefined range parameters though, consider using [postcss-custom-properties] with [postcss-at-rules-variables], or look into this postcss-for fork.

More features

By keyword is available:

`css
@for $i from 1 to 5 by 2 {
.b-$i {
width: $(i) px;
}
}
`

`css
.b-1 {
width: 1px;
}
.b-3 {
width: 3px;
}
.b-5 {
width: 5px;
}
`

Locality of variables in nested loops is supported:

`css
@for $x from 1 to 2 {
@for $y from 1 to $x {
@for $z from $y to $x {
.c-$(x)-$(z)-$(y) {
padding: $(x) em $(z) em $(y) em;
}
}
}
}
`

`css
.c-1-1-1 {
padding: 1em 1em 1em;
}
.c-2-1-1 {
padding: 2em 1em 1em;
}
.c-2-2-1 {
padding: 2em 2em 1em;
}
.c-2-2-2 {
padding: 2em 2em 2em;
}
