Stylus CSS preprocessor integration plugin testers?
Hello all
I’m a big fan of Stylus – a CSS preprocessor similar to Less or SASS, but easier to use (IMHO) and more powerful.
I’ve developed a plugin for the Presentation > Styles tab with the following features:
- Use Stylus CSS shorthand (and variables, mixins, operators, functions, etc.) in your Presentation > Styles.
- Output flat CSS files to a directory of your choice.
- Stylus understands plain CSS (and a mixture of Stylus and CSS in the same file) so you can, for example, write plain CSS but use Stylus variables. Mix & match – the best of both worlds.
- Optional CSS compression via preferences.
- Use a range of Stylus modules (for example Jeet or Axis).
- PostCSS plugin support (experimental) – I use it for Lost.
- Integration with spf_codemirror for CSS/Stylus syntax-highlighting via CodeMirror.
Does anyone happen to use Stylus? And would anyone be interested in testing the plugin before I release it proper?
The requirements are:
- Stylus (and therefore npm/Node.js) – installed with
npm install -g stylus.
- Unix or a Mac. Ideally it needs ‘unexpand’ (part of coreutils) as Stylus relies upon tab indents (and unexpand converts spaces to tabs). On a Mac install coreutils via Homebrew with
brew install coreutils. On a Unix server coreutils should already be installed.
