grunt-css-idtoattr v0.2.1
grunt-css-idtoattr
A Grunt Plugin to convert all ID-Selectors to in Attribute-Selectors.
Ever since the CSS became more complex, people argued wether to use ID-Selectors in CSS. Some people defend the use of ID-Selectors while others don't. One possible solution to deal with ID-Selectors is to use attribute-selectors instead. While it is a hack these selectors have the same specificity as a class. Maybe this grunt task helps to use IDs in CSS but not at the cost of specificity.
This plugins uses Rework and the rework-idtoattr plugin.
