PostCSS Calc 
PostCSS Calc
lets you reduce calc() references whenever it’s possible.
This can be particularly useful with the PostCSS
Custom Properties plugin.
When multiple units are mixed together in the same expression, the
calc() statement is left as is, to fallback to the W3C calc()
implementation.
Installation
npm install postcss-calcUsage
// dependencies
var fs = require("fs")
var postcss = require("postcss")
var calc = require("postcss-calc")
// css to be processed
var css = fs.readFileSync("input.css", "utf8")
// process css
var output = postcss()
.use(calc())
.process(css)
.cssExample (with PostCSS Custom Properties enabled as well):
// dependencies
var fs = require("fs")
var postcss = require("postcss")
var customProperties = require("postcss-custom-properties")
var calc = require("postcss-calc")
// css to be processed
var css = fs.readFileSync("input.css", "utf8")
// process css
var output = postcss()
.use(customProperties())
.use(calc())
.process(css)
.cssUsing this input.css:
:root {
--main-font-size: 16px;
}
body {
font-size: var(--main-font-size);
}
h1 {
font-size: calc(var(--main-font-size) * 2);
height: calc(100px - 2em);
margin-bottom: calc(
var(--main-font-size)
* 1.5
)
}you will get:
body {
font-size: 16px
}
h1 {
font-size: 32px;
height: calc(100px - 2em);
margin-bottom: 24px
}Checkout tests for more examples.
