@yank

Introduction

@yank lets you treat standard CSS classes like @mixins in Sass.

For example, given tachyons.css as our definitions file, we could write the following @yank rules in a standard css file myclasses.css;

.my-button {
  @yank .bg-blue;
  @yank .white;
  @yank .link;
  @yank .pa2;
  @yank .br2;
}

.my-input {
  @yank .bg-white;
  @yank .ba;
  @yank .b--gray;
  @yank .dark-gray;
  @yank .br2;
  @yank .pa2;
}

You can view this example on jsfiddle.

Running ./yank on the command line will compile this file into the following myclasses--compiled.css:

/* This file was compiled with @yank */
/* See the docs at https://github.com/almonk/yank */
.my-button {
  background-color:#357edd;
  color:#fff;
  text-decoration:none;
  padding:.5rem;
  border-radius:.25rem;
}
.my-input {
  background-color:#fff;
  border-style:solid;
  border-width:1px;
  border-color:#777;
  color:#333;
  border-radius:.25rem;
  padding:.5rem;
}

Usage

You can run these on the command line as; ./yank -input=example/myclasses.css -definitions=example/mycss.css -output=example/myclasses--compiled.css
