JarCastingPostCSS Calc 
PostCSS Calc lets you reduce calc() references whenever it's possible. This can be particularly useful with the PostCSS Custom Properties plugin.
When multiple units are mixed together in the same expression, the calc() statement is left as is, to fallback to the W3C calc() implementation.
Installation
npm install postcss-calc
Usage
// dependencies
var fs = require("fs")
var postcss = require("postcss")
var calc = require("postcss-calc")
// css to be processed
var css = fs.readFileSync("input.css", "utf8")
// process css
var output = postcss()
.use(calc())
.process(css)
.css
Example (with PostCSS Custom Properties enabled as well):
// dependencies
var fs = require("fs")
var postcss = require("postcss")
var customProperties = require("postcss-custom-properties")
var calc = require("postcss-calc")
// css to be processed
var css = fs.readFileSync("input.css", "utf8")
// process css
var output = postcss()
.use(customProperties())
.use(calc())
.process(css)
.css
Using this input.css:
:root {
--main-font-size: 16px;
}
body {
font-size: var(--main-font-size);
}
h1 {
font-size: calc(var(--main-font-size) * 2);
height: calc(100px - 2em);
margin-bottom: calc(
var(--main-font-size)
* 1.5
)
}
you will get:
body {
font-size: 16px
}
h1 {
font-size: 32px;
height: calc(100px - 2em);
margin-bottom: 24px
}
