CSS Preprocessors

From the examples above, you can guess that I recommend using PostCSS. However, other css preprocessors would work too, so long as they support custom at-rules.

SASS

Sass works out of the box with at-rules, even when they're nested.

They behave the same way media queries, which is great!

You can write things like:

.Avatar {
  /* ... */

  @container (width > 200px) {
    /* ... */
  }

  @container (height > 200px) {
    /* ... */
  }
}

Which compiles to:

.Avatar {
  /* ... */
}

@container (width > 200px) {
  .Avatar {
    /* ... */
  }
}

@container (height > 200px) {
  .Avatar {
    /* ... */
  }
}

(This is equivalent to using postcss-nested with the bubble option.)

LESS

Support for at-rules is limited, but it'll work fine with v2.6.0 and above as long as you avoid nesting.
