Adds syntax highlighting to PostCSS files in Visual Studio Code.

For the best in-editor experience, use this extension in combination with stylelint which will provide general (Post)CSS linting/syntax checks.

Add a .stylelintrc file to your project to configure rules. For a good set of maintained rules, install this npm package to your project:

npm i -D stylelint-config-recommended

Then you can extend that set of rules and just override the ones you want to change:

{
  "extends": "stylelint-config-recommended",
  "rules": {
    ...
  }
}

If you are using any non-standard postcss modules, you can use the file extensions .pcss or .postcss to prevent VSCode's built-in CSS parser from showing unwanted errors.

If you want syntax checks for postcss-nesting (i.e., require the & character) you can add this rule:

{
  "extends": "stylelint-config-recommended",
  "rules": {
    "selector-nested-pattern": "^&"
  }
}

This is a clone of PostCSS syntax with minor changes.

The original extension does not have a github repository, so open source collaboration is impossible. This is the main reason I created this clone.
