postcss: Specify a custom PostCSS syntax.

postcss

$ postcss ${filename} --syntax ${syntax}

try on your machine

The command postcss ${filename} --syntax ${syntax} is used to process CSS code using PostCSS, a tool for transforming CSS with JavaScript plugins.

Here is a breakdown of the components:

postcss: This is the command line interface (CLI) for running PostCSS.
${filename}: This is a placeholder for the name of the CSS file you want to process. Replace ${filename} with the actual name of your CSS file, including the file extension (e.g., styles.css).
--syntax ${syntax}: This specifies the syntax of the CSS file. Replace ${syntax} with the desired syntax. For example, if your CSS file is written in SCSS, you would replace ${syntax} with scss. This option helps PostCSS correctly parse the CSS code.

By executing this command, PostCSS will process the CSS file specified by ${filename} according to the specified syntax using the available PostCSS plugins. The output can be configured based on the plugins you have installed and their respective configurations.
