autoprefixer 10.4.15

Autoprefixer is a highly useful [PostCSS] plugin that seamlessly parses your CSS and adds vendor prefixes to your CSS rules. These prefixes are driven by data from the 'Can I Use' website. This solution is recommended by renowned tech giants like Google, and is actively used in major platforms like Twitter and Alibaba.

Using Autoprefixer is simple and straightforward, allowing you to effectively focus on writing your CSS rules without concerning yourself with vendor prefixes.

Here's a quick guide on how to write CSS rules using Autoprefixer:

First, write your CSS without the need for vendor prefixes:

::placeholder {
  color: gray;
}

.image {
  background-image: url(image@1x.png);
}
@media (min-resolution: 2dppx) {
  .image {
    background-image: url(image@2x.png);
  }
}

Now, Autoprefixer will automatically use the current data about browser popularity and property support to apply the relevant prefixes for you. For instance, after going through Autoprefixer, the code above would look like this:

::-moz-placeholder {
  color: gray;
}
::placeholder {
  color: gray;
}

.image {
  background-image: url(image@1x.png);
}
@media (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),
       (min-resolution: 2dppx) {
  .image {
    background-image: url(image@2x.png);
  }
}
