PostCSS Initial

PostCSS plugin to fallback initial keyword. Very useful in combination with postcss-autoreset.

a {
  animation: initial;
  background: initial;
  white-space: initial;
}

a {
  animation: none 0s ease 0s 1 normal none running;
  animation: initial;
  background: transparent none repeat 0 0 / auto auto padding-box border-box scroll;
  background: initial;
  white-space: normal;
  white-space: initial;
}

Killer feature!
Universal reset from future css!

Options

reset

Takes string.
Describes what subset of rules should be unsetted with all property (to reduce code weight).
Possible subsets: all, inherited.
Default value: 'all'.

replace

Takes boolean.
Replace the initial with the fallback instead of adding it.
Default value: false.

Usage

postcss([ require('postcss-initial')({
  reset: 'inherited' // reset only inherited rules
}) ])

See PostCSS docs for examples for your environment.
