PostCSS Random Function PostCSS Logo

npm install @csstools/postcss-random-function --save-dev

PostCSS Random Function lets you use the random function, following the CSS Values 5 specification.

div {
    color: oklch(0.7 0.2 random(120deg, 240deg));
}

div {
    color: oklch(0.7 0.2 random(120deg, 240deg, 7deg));
}

div {
    margin: random(10px, 100px) random(10px, 100px);
    padding: random(--padding, 10px, 100px) random(--padding, 10px, 100px);
}

/* becomes */

div {
    color: oklch(0.7 0.2 177.17235deg);
}

div {
    color: oklch(0.7 0.2 176deg);
}

div {
    margin: 41.7525px 70.01679px;
    padding: 44.03856px 44.03856px;
}

[!NOTE] Generated values are deterministic pseudo random numbers. Generating values twice with the same input will give the same result. The input length of the CSS source file is used as a random seed.

Usage

Add PostCSS Random Function to your project:

npm install postcss @csstools/postcss-random-function --save-dev

Use it as a PostCSS plugin:

const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssRandomFunction = require('@csstools/postcss-random-function');

postcss([
    postcssRandomFunction(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);

⚠️ About custom properties

Given the dynamic nature of custom properties it's impossible to know what the variable value is, which means the plugin can't compute a final value for the stylesheet.

Because of that, any usage that contains a var is skipped.

Options

preserve

The preserve option determines whether the original notation is preserved. By default, it is not preserved.

postcssRandomFunction({ preserve: true })

div {
    color: oklch(0.7 0.2 random(120deg, 240deg));
}

div {
    color: oklch(0.7 0.2 random(120deg, 240deg, 7deg));
}

div {
    margin: random(10px, 100px) random(10px, 100px);
    padding: random(--padding, 10px, 100px) random(--padding, 10px, 100px);
}

/* becomes */

div {
    color: oklch(0.7 0.2 177.17235deg);
    color: oklch(0.7 0.2 random(120deg, 240deg));
}

div {
    color: oklch(0.7 0.2 176deg);
    color: oklch(0.7 0.2 random(120deg, 240deg, 7deg));
}

div {
    margin: 41.7525px 70.01679px;
    margin: random(10px, 100px) random(10px, 100px);
    padding: 44.03856px 44.03856px;
    padding: random(--padding, 10px, 100px) random(--padding, 10px, 100px);
}
