postcss-import-map

PostCSS Eik plugin to support the use of import maps to map "bare" import specifiers in CSS @import rules.

Notes:

This plugin should probably be used as the first plugin of your list.
If you use postcss-import please read this.

Installation

$ npm install @eik/postcss-import-map

Usage

// dependencies
var fs = require('fs');
var postcss = require('postcss');
var eikImportMapPlugin = require('@eik/postcss-import-map');

// css to be processed
var css = fs.readFileSync('css/input.css', 'utf8');

// process css
postcss()
    .use(
        eikImportMapPlugin({
            imports: {
                'normalize.css':
                    'https://unpkg.com/normalize.css@8/normalize.css',
            },
        })
    )
    .process(css, {
        // `from` option is needed here
        from: 'css/input.css',
    })
    .then(function (result) {
        var output = result.css;

        console.log(output);
    });

css/input.css:

@import 'normalize.css';

body {
    background: black;
}

will give you:

@import 'https://unpkg.com/normalize.css@8/normalize.css';

body {
    background: black;
}

PostCSS Import Usage

If you're using postcss-import make sure you update the plugins option. postcss.config.js

module.exports = (ctx) => ({
    plugins: [
        require('@eik/postcss-import-map')(),
        require('postcss-import')({
            // It needs to be added here as well to ensure everything is mapped
            plugins: [require('@eik/postcss-import-map')],
        }),
    ],
});

Options

This plugin takes an import map as options:

option	default	type	required	details
path	`cwd/eik.json`	`string`	`false`	Path to eik.json file.
urls	`[]`	`array`	`false`	Array of import map URLs to fetch from.
imports	`{}`	`object`	`false`	Mapping between "bare" import specifiers and absolute URLs.

This module only cares about "bare" import specifies which map to absolute URLs in the import map. Any other import specifiers defined in the import map are ignored.
