JS

import postcss from 'postcss';
import DoIUse from 'doiuse/lib/DoIUse.js';

postcss(new DoIUse({
  browsers:['ie >= 6', '> 1%'],
  ignore: ['rem'], // an optional array of features to ignore
  ignoreFiles: ['**/normalize.css'], // an optional array of file globs to match against original source file path, to ignore
  onFeatureUsage: (usageInfo) => {
    console.log(usageInfo.message);
  }
})).process("a { background-size: cover; }")

CommonJS syntax is still supported if using var doiuse = require('doiuse').

Gulp (CommonJS)

var gulp = require('gulp')
var postcss = require('postcss')
var doiuse = require('doiuse')

gulp.src(src, { cwd: process.cwd() })
.pipe(gulp.postcss([
  doiuse({
    browsers: [
      'ie >= 8',
      '> 1%'
    ],
    ignore: ['rem'], // an optional array of features to ignore
    ignoreFiles: ['**/normalize.css'], // an optional array of file globs to match against original source file path, to ignore
    onFeatureUsage: function (usageInfo) {
      console.log(usageInfo.message)
    }
  })
]))

How it works

In particular, the approach to detecting features usage is currently quite naive.

Refer to the data in /data/features.js.

• If a feature in that dataset only specifies properties, we just use those properties for regex/substring matches against the properties used in the input CSS.
• If a feature also specifies values, then we also require that the associated value matches one of those values.

API Details

As a transform stream

var doiuse = require('doiuse/stream');

process.stdin
  .pipe(doiuse({ browsers: ['ie >= 8', '> 1%'], ignore: ['rem'] }))
  .on('data', function (usageInfo) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(usageInfo))
  })

Yields UsageInfo objects as described below.

As a postcss plugin

postcss(new DoIUse(opts)).process(css), where opts is:

{
  browsers: ['ie >= 8', '> 1%'], // an autoprefixer-like array of browsers.
  ignore: ['rem'], // an optional array of features to ignore
  ignoreFiles: ['**/normalize.css'], // an optional array of file globs to match against original source file path, to ignore
  onFeatureUsage: function(usageInfo) { } // a callback for usages of features not supported by the selected browsers
}

And usageInfo looks like this:

{
  message: '<input source>: line <l>, col <c> - CSS3 Gradients not supported by: IE (8)',
  feature: 'css-gradients', // slug identifying a caniuse-db feature
  featureData: {
    title: 'CSS Gradients',
    missing: "IE (8)", // string of browsers missing support for this feature.
    missingData: {
      // map of browser -> version -> (lack of)support code
      ie: { '8': 'n' }
    },
    caniuseData: { // data from caniuse-db/features-json/[feature].json }
  },
  usage: {} //the postcss node where that feature is being used.
}

Called once for each usage of each css feature not supported by the selected browsers.

Ignoring file-specific rules

For disabling some checks you can use just-in-place comments

/* doiuse-disable */

Disables checks of all features

/* doiuse-disable feature */

Disables checks of specified feature(s) (can be comma separated list)

/* doiuse-enable */

Re-enables checks of all features

/* doiuse-enable feature */

Enables checks of specified feature(s) (can be comma separated list)

• for following lines in file
