What the hell is it? For development, the weakness of CSS is staticity. We need a tool that can really improve development efficiency. LESS and SASS have made some contributions in this regard.
Stylus is a CSS preprocessing framework, produced in 2010 from the Node.js community. It is mainly used to provide CSS preprocessing support for Node projects, so Stylus is a new language that can create robust, Dynamic, expressive CSS. It is relatively young, and what it essentially does is similar to SASS/LESS, etc. It should have a lot to learn from, so it is similar to a script to write CSS code.
Stylus uses .styl as the file extension by default and supports diverse CSS syntax.
Stylus is more powerful in function and more closely related to js. So I chose Stylus and played with SASS for a while, mainly because this thing relied on ruby to run, so I gave up using it.

Try Stylus!
Global installation, you need to install it before How do you install nodejs?
$ npm install stylus -g
In this way, even after installing Stylus, you can still use Stylus normally.
Usage: stylus [options] [command] [< in [> out]] [file|dir ...]Commands: help <prop> Opens help info for <prop> in your default browser. (OS X only)Options: -u, --use <path> Utilize the stylus plugin at <path> -i, --interactive Start interactive REPL -w, --watch Watch file(s) for changes and re-compile -o, --out <dir> Output to <dir> when passing files -C, --css <src> [dest] Convert CSS input to Stylus -I, --include <path> Add <path> to lookup paths -c, --compress Compress CSS output -d, --compare Display input along with output -f, --firebug Emits debug infos in the generated css that can be used by the FireStylus Firebug plugin -l, --line-numbers Emits comments in the generated CSS indicating the corresponding Stylus line -V, --version Display the version of Stylus -h, --help Display help information
create a stylusExample/, and then create a src directory in it to specifically store stylus files, in Create the example.styl file. Then execute the following command in the stylusExample directory
$ stylus --compress src/
to output compiled src/example.css. At this time, it means that you have successfully generated it. Bring the --compress parameter to indicate You generate compressed CSS files.
$ stylus --css css/example.css css/out.styl CSS converted to styl
$ stylus help box-shadow CSS property help
$ stylus --css test.css output Styl files with the same basic name
grunt generation is more comfortable. Specifically how to play grunt, I wrote a tutorial Grunt tutorial - front-end automation. You can learn the following.
Create two files in the stylusExample directory. These two files are essential files for grunt.
package.json: used to save project metadata.
Gruntfile.js: used to configure or define tasks and load Grunt plug-ins.
package.json content
json{ "name": "test", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "测试的例子", "repository": { "type": "git", "url": "" }}
Then install the necessary plug-ins. These plug-ins allow the stylus file to be automatically generated and generated into the corresponding files. in the directory. If an error is reported, you need to add sudo in front of the command line to give it maximum execution permissions.
npm install grunt --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-watch --save-dev: Monitor file changes and take corresponding actions. npm>>
npm install grunt-contrib-stylus --save-dev: stylus writes styl output css npm>>
Such a warning appears during installation npm WARN package.json test@1.0.0 No README data can be ignored. If it looks uncomfortable to you, you need to create a README.md file under the stylusExample directory and enter the content. You can also execute the command echo "#stylus learning" >> README.md
After the plug-in is executed, the package.json file will look like this.
json{ "name": "test", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "测试的例子", "repository": { "type": "git", "url": "" }, "devDependencies": { "grunt": "^0.4.5", "grunt-contrib-stylus": "^0.21.0", "grunt-contrib-watch": "^0.6.1" }}
At this time you need to use these plug-ins to complete your tasks and write your execution tasks in Gruntfile.js.
js/// 包装函数module.exports = function(grunt) { // 任务配置,所有插件的配置信息 grunt.initConfig({ pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'), stylus:{ build: { options: { linenos: false, compress: true }, files: [{ 'css/index.css': ['src/index.styl'] }] } }, // watch插件的配置信息 watch: { another: { files: ['css/*','src/*.styl'], tasks: ['stylus'], options: { livereload: 1337 } } } }); // 告诉grunt我们将使用插件 grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch'); grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-stylus'); // 告诉grunt当我们在终端中输入grunt时需要做些什么 grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch']);};
Please read and understand the above. The directory is correct. There is no need to remind you of these. At this time, you can play with stylus
This is when the fun really starts.

add(a, b = a) a + badd(10, 5)// => 15add(10)// => 20
Convert the units to px through the built-in unit(), because the value is assigned to each parameter, so we can ignore the unit conversion.
add(a, b = a) a = unit(a, px) b = unit(b, px) a + badd(15%, 10deg)// => 25
Use the built-in unit() to change the unit into px, because the value is assigned to each parameter, so we can ignore it Unit conversion.
sizes() 15px 10pxsizes()[0]// => 15px

运算符优先级
下表运算符优先级,从最高到最低:
. [] ! ~ + - is defined ** * / % + - ... .. <= >= < > in == is != is not isnt is a && and || or ?: = := ?= += -= *= /= %= not if unless
@import "reset.css"
当使用@import没有.css扩展,会被认为是Stylus片段(如:@import "mixins/border-radius")。
@import工作原理为:遍历目录队列,并检查任意目录中是否有该文件(类似node的require.paths)。该队列默认为单一路径,从filename选项的dirname衍生而来。 因此,如果你的文件名是/tmp/testing/stylus/main.styl,导入将显现为/tmp/testing/stylus/。
@import也支持索引形式。这意味着当你@import blueprint, 则会理解成blueprint.styl或blueprint/index.styl. 对于库而言,这很有用,既可以展示所有特征与功能,同时又能导入特征子集。
