Part of the StyleX SWC Plugin workspace
PostCSS plugin for an unofficial
napi-rs
compiler that includes the StyleX SWC code transformation under the hood.
To install the package, run the following command:
npm install --save-dev @stylexswc/postcss-pluginModify postcss.config.js. For example:
module.exports = {
plugins: {
'@stylexjs/postcss-plugin': {
include: ['src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}'],
},
autoprefixer: {},
},
};Use on of the plugins to process JS/TS files with StyleX code. For example:
/// next.config.js
const path = require('path');
const stylexPlugin = require('@stylexswc/nextjs-plugin');
const rootDir = __dirname;
module.exports = stylexPlugin({
// Add any StyleX options here
rsOptions: {
aliases: {
'@/*': [path.join(rootDir, '*')],
},
unstable_moduleResolution: {
type: 'commonJS',
},
},
// It's important to prevent creating a new CSS file with StyleX classes twice
extractCSS: false,
})({
transpilePackages: ['@stylexjs/open-props'],
// Optionally, add any other Next.js config below
});Warning
Each plugin of @stylexswc namespace accepts an extractCSS
option to control CSS extraction. When using the postcss plugin, this option
should be set to false to avoid double generation of CSS files with StyleX
styles.
Note
This approach requires transpiling JS/TS files with StyleX code twice:
first the source code and then using the PostCSS plugin. To avoid this
behavior when using NextJS, use the regular @stylexswc/nextjs-plugin
passing the transformCss parameter to transform the generated CSS if it's
possible, for example:
/// next.config.js
//...other code
transformCss: async css => {
const postcss = require('postcss');
const result = await postcss([require('autoprefixer')]).process(css);
return result.css;
},
//...other codeAdd the following CSS file to your project:
/*[fileName].css*/
/**
* The @stylex directive is used by the @stylexjs/postcss-plugin.
* It is automatically replaced with generated CSS during builds.
*/
@stylex;And import it in your JS/TS files:
import '[fileName].css';The plugin accepts the following configuration options:
Note
Features: The include and exclude options are exclusive to
this NAPI-RS compiler implementation and are not available in the official
StyleX Babel plugin.
- Type:
(string | RegExp)[] - Default: auto-discovered
- Description: RS-compiler Only An array of glob patterns or regular expressions to include specific files for StyleX transformation. When specified, only files matching at least one of these patterns will be discovered and transformed. Patterns are matched against paths relative to the current working directory. Supports regex lookahead/lookbehind for advanced filtering.
When omitted, the plugin auto-discovers source files in the project cwd and
direct dependencies that use StyleX.
- Type:
(string | RegExp)[] - Optional
- Description: RS-compiler Only An array of glob patterns or regular
expressions to exclude specific files from StyleX transformation. Files
matching any of these patterns will not be transformed, even if they match an
includepattern. Patterns are matched against paths relative to the current working directory. Supports regex lookahead/lookbehind for advanced filtering.
When include is omitted, the plugin automatically excludes common build and
dependency folders (for example node_modules, .next, dist, build) to
keep discovery focused on source files.
- Type:
StyleXOptions - Optional
- Default:
{} - Description: StyleX compiler options passed to the StyleX compiler. For standard StyleX options, see the official StyleX documentation.
- Type:
boolean - Optional
- Default:
false - Description: Whether to use CSS layers for better style isolation
- Type:
string - Optional
- Default:
process.cwd() - Description: Current working directory for resolving files. Dependency paths and config resolution use this value.
- Type:
boolean - Optional
- Description: Whether the plugin is running in development mode
- Type:
Array<string | { from: string, as: string }> - Optional
- Description: Override import sources at the PostCSS plugin level.
When provided, takes precedence over rsOptions.importSources. When omitted,
falls back to rsOptions.importSources, then the built-in defaults
(@stylexjs/stylex, stylex).
Include only specific directories:
{
'@stylexswc/postcss-plugin': {
include: ['src/**/*.{ts,tsx}', 'components/**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
},
}Exclude test and story files:
{
'@stylexswc/postcss-plugin': {
include: ['src/**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
exclude: ['**/*.test.*', '**/*.stories.*', '**/__tests__/**'],
},
}Using regular expressions:
{
'@stylexswc/postcss-plugin': {
include: ['src/**/*.{ts,tsx}', /components\/.*\.tsx$/],
exclude: [/\.test\./, /\.stories\./],
},
}Exclude node_modules except specific packages (using lookahead):
{
'@stylexswc/postcss-plugin': {
include: ['src/**/*.{ts,tsx}', 'node_modules/**/*.js'],
// Exclude all node_modules except @stylexjs/open-props
exclude: [/node_modules(?!\/@stylexjs\/open-props)/],
},
}Transform only specific packages from node_modules:
{
'@stylexswc/postcss-plugin': {
include: [
'src/**/*.{ts,tsx}',
'node_modules/@stylexjs/open-props/**/*.js',
'node_modules/@my-org/design-system/**/*.js',
],
exclude: ['**/*.test.*'],
},
}Set STYLEX_POSTCSS_DEBUG=1 to print resolved plugin inputs, including:
- resolved
