PostCSS Resolve Nested Selector provides a utility for PostCSS plugins to accurately pinpoint the fully resolved selector of a nested rule within a PostCSS Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). This is particularly useful when dealing with CSS nesting, allowing developers to programmatically analyze and manipulate selectors after they've been expanded.
Version 0.1.6, released recently, is a refinement over version 0.1.5. While both versions share the same core functionality – resolving nested selectors within a PostCSS AST, some subtle differences are worth noting for developers. Both versions declare postcss as a peer dependency, ensuring compatibility with PostCSS 8 and above which is crucial for modern CSS processing workflows. The license remains consistent at MIT, assuring developers of the freedom to use and integrate the library in their projects.
One apparent difference is the fileCount attribute inside the dist object, which increased from 4 to 5, coupled with an increase in the unpackedSize from 5109 bytes to 5796 bytes. This indicates that version 0.1.6 likely incorporates additional files or code improvements, potentially related to bug fixes, performance optimizations, or new features that enhance the selector resolution process. Developers upgrading should consider these changes may influence performance or even introduce subtle edge-case behavior. Note the unchanged dependency on postcss-nested, which could suggest the core selector resolution logic hasn't dramatically shifted. Therefore, the upgrade is expected to be relatively smooth but testing in representative scenarios remains recommended to check any unforeseen impact.
