  }
}

/* html and body selectors will be popped up */
html,
body.desktop {
  font-family: sans-serif;
}

body.desktop .bar {
  font-weight: bold;
}

/* self-applied declarations of html and body selectors will be not touched */
/* mixed selectors will be properly split */
html,
body,
.some-root-selector {
  margin: 0;

}

/* ads root itself to * (all) rules */

@media (max-width: 700px) {

Usage

Step 1: Install plugin:

npm install --save-dev postcss postcss-add-root-selector

Step 2: Check you project for existed PostCSS config: postcss.config.js in the project root, "postcss" section in package.json or postcss in bundle config.

If you do not use PostCSS, add it according to official docs and set this plugin in settings.

Step 3: Add the plugin to plugins list:

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
+   require('postcss-add-root-selector'),
    require('autoprefixer')
  ]
}

Gulp

In Gulp you can use gulp-postcss with postcss-add-root-selector npm package.

gulp.task('postcss-add-root-selector', () => {
  const addRootSelector = require('postcss-add-root-selector')
  const sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps')
  const postcss = require('gulp-postcss')

  return gulp.src('./src/*.css')
    .pipe(sourcemaps.init())
    .pipe(postcss([ addRootSelector({ rootSelector: '.some-root' }) ]))
    .pipe(sourcemaps.write('.'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dest'))
})

With gulp-postcss you also can combine Postcss Add Root Selector plugin with other PostCSS plugins.

Webpack

In webpack you can use postcss-loader with postcss-add-root-selector and other PostCSS plugins.

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /library\.css$/,
        use: [
          'style-loader',
          'css-loader',
          {
            loader: 'postcss-loader',
            options: {
              postcssOptions: {
                plugins: [
                  [
                    'postcss-preset-env',
                    { rootSelector: '.some-root' }
                  ]
                ]
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Or you can add loader to specific import

import 'postcss-loader?postcssOptions.plugins=postcss-preset-env?postcssOptions.plugins.rootSelector=.some-root!./library.css'

And create a postcss.config.js with:

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('postcss-add-root-selector')
  ]
}

Options

Function addRootSelector(options) returns a new PostCSS plugin. See PostCSS API for plugin usage documentation.

Available options are:

• rootSelector (string): root selector (required).
