}[!CAUTION] Color stops with only a color or only an interpolation hint are not supported.
For best results you should always provide at least the color and position for each color stop. Double position color stops are supported.
.foo {
/* Only a color: can't transform */
background-image: linear-gradient(in oklch, black 0%, green, blue 100%);
/* Only an interpolation hint: can't transform */
background-image: linear-gradient(in oklch, black 0%, 25%, blue 100%);
}[!CAUTION] Variable colors are not supported. We can not mix colors when the color is a variable.
.foo {
--red: red;
/* Color stop variable : can't transform */
background-image: linear-gradient(in oklch, black 0%, var(--red), blue 100%);
}Add PostCSS Gradients Interpolation Method to your project:
npm install postcss @csstools/postcss-gradients-interpolation-method --save-devUse it as a PostCSS plugin:
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssGradientsInterpolationMethod = require('@csstools/postcss-gradients-interpolation-method');
postcss([
postcssGradientsInterpolationMethod(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);PostCSS Gradients Interpolation Method runs in all Node environments, with special instructions for:
The preserve option determines whether the original notation
is preserved. By default, it is preserved.
postcssGradientsInterpolationMethod({ preserve: false }).example {
background-image: linear-gradient(in oklch, hsl(0deg 85% 75%) 0%, hsl(180deg 80% 65%) 100%);
}
:root {
--background-image: linear-gradient(in oklab, hsl(96, 42%, 24%) 0%, hsl(302, 67%, 25%) 100%);
}
/* becomes */
.example {
background-image: linear-gradient(rgb(245, 137, 137) 0%, rgb(248, 146, 114), rgb(244, 158, 94), rgb(235, 171, 82), rgb(220, 185, 81), rgb(201, 199, 95), rgb(177, 211, 118), rgb(151, 221, 146), rgb(125, 229, 177), rgb(103, 235, 208), rgb(94, 237, 237) 100%);

}The enableProgressiveCustomProperties option determines whether the original notation
is wrapped with @supports when used in Custom Properties. By default, it is enabled.
[!NOTE] We only recommend disabling this when you set
preservetofalseor if you bring your own fix for Custom Properties.
See what the plugin does in its README.
