  postcss src/**/*.css --base src --dir build           Glob Pattern & output
  cat input.css | postcss -u autoprefixer > output.css  Piping input & output

If no input files are passed, it reads from stdin. If neither -o, --dir, or
--replace is passed, it writes to stdout.

If there are multiple input files, the --dir or --replace option must be passed.

Input files may contain globs (e.g. src/**/*.css). If you pass an input
directory, it will process all files in the directory and any subdirectories,
respecting the glob pattern.

ℹ️ More details on custom parsers, stringifiers and syntaxes, can be found here.

Config

If you need to pass options to your plugins, or have a long plugin chain, you'll want to use a configuration file.

postcss.config.js

module.exports = {
  parser: 'sugarss',
  plugins: [
    require('postcss-import')({ ...options }),
    require('postcss-url')({ url: 'copy', useHash: true }),
  ],
}

Note that you can not set the from or to options for postcss in the config file. They are set automatically based on the CLI arguments.

Context

For more advanced usage it's recommend to to use a function in postcss.config.js, this gives you access to the CLI context to dynamically apply options and plugins per file

Name	Type	Default	Description
env	{String}	'development'	process.env.NODE_ENV
file	{Object}	dirname, basename, extname	File
options	{Object}	map, parser, syntax, stringifier	PostCSS Options

postcss.config.js

module.exports = (ctx) => ({
  map: ctx.options.map,
  parser: ctx.file.extname === '.sss' ? 'sugarss' : false,
  plugins: {
    'postcss-import': { root: ctx.file.dirname },
    cssnano: ctx.env === 'production' ? {} : false,
  },
})

⚠️ If you want to set options via CLI, it's mandatory to reference ctx.options in postcss.config.js

postcss input.sss -p sugarss -o output.css -m

postcss.config.js

module.exports = (ctx) => ({
  map: ctx.options.map,
  parser: ctx.options.parser,
  plugins: {
    'postcss-import': { root: ctx.file.dirname },
    cssnano: ctx.env === 'production' ? {} : false,
  },
})
