Directives transformer ​

UnoCSS transformer for @apply, @screen and theme() directives: @unocss/transformer-directives.

Installation ​

bash
pnpm add -D @unocss/transformer-directives
pnpm add -D @unocss/transformer-directives
bash
yarn add -D @unocss/transformer-directives
yarn add -D @unocss/transformer-directives
bash
npm install -D @unocss/transformer-directives
npm install -D @unocss/transformer-directives
ts
// uno.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'unocss'
import transformerDirectives from '@unocss/transformer-directives'

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  transformers: [
    transformerDirectives(),
  ],
})
// uno.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'unocss'
import transformerDirectives from '@unocss/transformer-directives'

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  transformers: [
    transformerDirectives(),
  ],
})

Usage ​

@apply ​

css
.custom-div {
  @apply text-center my-0 font-medium;
}
.custom-div {
  @apply text-center my-0 font-medium;
}

Will be transformed to:

css
.custom-div {
  margin-top: 0rem;
  margin-bottom: 0rem;
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: 500;
}
.custom-div {
  margin-top: 0rem;
  margin-bottom: 0rem;
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: 500;
}

--at-apply ​

To be compatible with vanilla CSS, you can use CSS Variables to replace the @apply directive:

css
.custom-div {
  --at-apply: text-center my-0 font-medium;
}
.custom-div {
  --at-apply: text-center my-0 font-medium;
}

To use rules with :, you will have to quote the value:

css
.custom-div {
  --at-apply: "hover:text-red";
}
.custom-div {
  --at-apply: "hover:text-red";
}

This feature is enabled by default with a few aliases, that you can configure or disable via:

js
transformerDirectives({
  // the defaults
  applyVariable: ['--at-apply', '--uno-apply', '--uno'],
  // or disable with:
  // applyVariable: false
})
transformerDirectives({
  // the defaults
  applyVariable: ['--at-apply', '--uno-apply', '--uno'],
  // or disable with:
  // applyVariable: false
})

@screen ​

The @screen directive that allows you to create media queries that reference your breakpoints by name comes from theme.breakpoints.

css
.grid {
  --uno: grid grid-cols-2;
}
@screen xs {
  .grid {
    --uno: grid-cols-1;
  }
}
@screen sm {
  .grid {
    --uno: grid-cols-3;
  }
}
/* ... */
...
.grid {
  --uno: grid grid-cols-2;
}
@screen xs {
  .grid {
    --uno: grid-cols-1;
  }
}
@screen sm {
  .grid {
    --uno: grid-cols-3;
  }
}
/* ... */
...

Will be transformed to:

css
.grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));
}
@media (min-width: 320px) {
  .grid {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(1, minmax(0, 1fr));
  }
}
@media (min-width: 640px) {
  .grid {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(3, minmax(0, 1fr));
  }
}
/* ... */
.grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));
}
@media (min-width: 320px) {
  .grid {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(1, minmax(0, 1fr));
  }
}
@media (min-width: 640px) {
  .grid {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(3, minmax(0, 1fr));
  }
}
/* ... */

  .grid {
    --uno: grid-cols-3;
  }

/* ... */
.grid {
  --uno: grid grid-cols-2;
}
@screen lt-xs {
  .grid {
