🍌 The Brazilian CSS superset.

• Syntax abstractions for complex native CSS features.
• If you can, compile native CSS features like a pre-processor (ex: Custom properties and @import).
• Provide a simple abstraction for a Semantic Grid System with calc().
• Extra features (ex: @function).

Verify if you have node and npm installed.

$ npm install -g bananacss

$ npm install bananacss --save

Compile you .bnn file to .css

$ banana <input_path>

Watch for changes.

$ banana <input_path> -w

Output to dir when passing files.

$ banana <input_path> -o <out_path>

Show the project version.

$ banana --version

Show all available commands.

$ banana --help

Create a file called bananafile.json in the directory where you will run the command $ banana and configure as need.

	"bnnSize" : true,
	"bnnPosition" : true,

All features have true as default value, except the compress.

const inputBananaCode = '.a {bnn-size: 50px;}';

// Features injection

const Banana = require('banana')(config);

// Output the css
const output = Banana.render(inputBananaCode);

console.log(output); // .a {width: 50px; height: 50px;}
