API + +### 1.1. Accept functions in plugin parameters + +If your runner uses a config file, it must be written in JavaScript, so that +it can support plugins which accept a function, such as [`postcss-assets`]: + +```js +module.exports = [ + require('postcss-assets')({ + cachebuster: function (file) { + return fs.statSync(file).mtime.getTime().toString(16); + } + }) +]; +``` + +[`postcss-assets`]: https://github.com/borodean/postcss-assets + +## 2. Processing + +### 2.1. Set `from` and `to` processing options + +To ensure that PostCSS generates source maps and displays better syntax errors, +runners must specify the `from` and `to` options. If your runner does not handle +writing to disk (for example, a gulp transform), you should set both options +to point to the same file: + +```js +processor.process({ from: file.path, to: file.path }); +``` + +### 2.2. Use only the asynchronous API + +PostCSS runners must use only the asynchronous API. +The synchronous API is provided only for debugging, is slower, +and can’t work with asynchronous plugins. + +```js +processor.process(opts).then(function (result) { + // processing is finished +}); +``` + +### 2.3. Use only the public PostCSS API + +PostCSS runners must not rely on undocumented properties or methods, +which may be subject to change in any minor release. The public API +is described in [API docs]. + +[API docs]: http://api.postcss.org/ + +## 3. Output + +### 3.1. Don’t show JS stack for `CssSyntaxError` + +PostCSS runners must not show a stack trace for CSS syntax errors, +as the runner can be used by developers who are not familiar with JavaScript. +Instead, handle such errors gracefully: + +```js +processor.process(opts).catch(function (error) { + if ( error.name === 'CssSyntaxError' ) { + process.stderr.write(error.message + error.showSourceCode()); + } else { + throw error; + } +}); +``` + +### 3.2. Display `result.warnings()` + +PostCSS runners must output warnings from `result.warnings()`: + +```js +result.warnings().forEach(function (warn) { + process.stderr.write(warn.toString()); +}); +``` + +See also [postcss-log-warnings] and [postcss-messages] plugins. + +[postcss-log-warnings]: https://github.com/davidtheclark/postcss-log-warnings +[postcss-messages]: https://github.com/postcss/postcss-messages + +### 3.3. Allow the user to write source maps to different files + +PostCSS by default will inline source maps in the generated file; however, +PostCSS runners must provide an option to save the source map in a different +file: + +```js +if ( result.map ) { + fs.writeFile(opts.to + '.map', result.map.toString()); +} +``` + +## 4. Documentation + +### 4.1. Document your runner in English + +PostCSS runners must have their `README.md` written in English. Do not be afraid +of your English skills, as the open source community will fix your errors. + +Of course, you are welcome to write documentation in other languages; +just name them appropriately (e.g. `README.ja.md`). + +### 4.2. Maintain a changelog + +PostCSS runners must describe changes of all releases in a separate file, +such as `ChangeLog.md`, `History.md`, or with [GitHub Releases]. +Visit [Keep A Changelog] for more information on how to write one of these. + +Of course you should use [SemVer]. + +[Keep A Changelog]: http://keepachangelog.com/ +[GitHub Releases]: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases/ +[SemVer]: http://semver.org/ + +### 4.3. `postcss-runner` keyword in `package.json` + +PostCSS runners written for npm must have the `postcss-runner` keyword +in their `package.json`. This special keyword will be useful for feedback about +the PostCSS ecosystem. + +For packages not published to npm, this is not mandatory, but recommended +if the package format is allowed to contain keywords. -- cgit v1.2.3
