Getting started with PostCSS

PostCSS is a versatile tool that enhances CSS development through its extensive ecosystem of JavaScript plugins, facilitating the transformation of CSS code by adding functionalities such as autoprefixing, linting, and modularity. Autoprefixer, a notable PostCSS plugin, automatically adds vendor prefixes based on "Can I Use" data, simplifying code maintenance and improving readability. PostCSS allows developers to select or create plugins as needed, offering flexibility compared to traditional preprocessors like Sass and Less, which come with fixed feature sets. The tool supports future CSS syntax via plugins like PostCSS Preset Env and can integrate with build tools such as Gulp, Webpack, and Parcel, as well as within projects developed using frameworks like React and Vue. PostCSS encourages writing plain CSS while enabling transformations that make it suitable for modern and legacy browsers, thereby streamlining the front-end development workflow.
