Use a place-* shorthand for align-* and justify-* in CSS
npm install postcss-placenpm install postcss-place --save-dev
[PostCSS Place Properties] lets you use place- properties as shorthands for align-
and justify-*, following the [CSS Box Alignment] specification.
``css
.example {
place-self: center;
place-content: space-between center;
}
/ becomes /
.example {
align-self: center;
justify-self: center;
place-self: center;
align-content: space-between;
justify-content: center;
place-content: space-between center;
}
`
Add [PostCSS Place Properties] to your project:
`bash`
npm install postcss postcss-place --save-dev
Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:
`js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssPlace = require('postcss-place');
postcss([
postcssPlace(/ pluginOptions /)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /, processOptions /);
`
The preserve option determines whether the original notation
is preserved. By default, it is preserved.
`js`
postcssPlace({ preserve: false })
`css
.example {
place-self: center;
place-content: space-between center;
}
/ becomes /
.example {
align-self: center;
justify-self: center;
align-content: space-between;
justify-content: center;
}
