Wisdom-Myth
Myth is a CSS preprocessor that lets you write pure CSS without having to worry about slow browser support, or even slow spec approval. It's like a CSS polyfill.
Wisdom-Myth integrate Myth pre-processing in Wisdom. So, stylesheets (CSS files) containing Myth directives are automatically processed at build time.
It supports the Wisdom Watch Mode, so any change to a CSS file immediately triggers the processing and updates the output file.
Usage
Add the following plugin to you pom.xml
file:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.wisdom-framework</groupId>
<artifactId>wisdom-myth-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>compile-myth-files</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compile-myth</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
By default, Myth 0.3.4 is used, but you can set the version to use as follows:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.wisdom-framework</groupId>
<artifactId>wisdom-myth-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>compile-myth-files</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compile-myth</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<version>0.3.4</version>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Examples
The process CSS files can be either in src/main/resources/assets
(internal resources, packaged within the application), or in src/main/assets
(external resources, only packaged within the distribution).
For example, the file src/main/resources/assets/style.css
with the following content:
:root {
var-purple: #847AD1;
var-large: 10px;
}
a {
color: var(purple);
}
pre {
padding: var(large);
}
generates the target/classes/assets/style.css
with the following content:
a {
color: #847AD1;
}
pre {
padding: 10px;
}
While, the file src/main/assets/style2.css
with the following content:
:root {
var-purple: #847AD1;
}
a {
color: var(purple);
}
a:hover {
color: color(var(purple) tint(20%));
}
a {
transition: color .2s;
}
generates the target/wisdom/assets/style2.css
with the following content:
a {
color: #847AD1;
}
a:hover {
color: rgb(157, 149, 218);
}
a {
-webkit-transition: color .2s;
transition: color .2s;
}
