PostCSS Responsive Font

Set responsive min/max font-sizes within viewport ranges...

Adds a new declaration that requires 4 values.

font-size-responsive: min-font-size max-font-size min-viewport-width max-viewport-width

Input:

.foo {
    font-size-responsive:12px 32px 480px 1280px;
}

Output:

.foo {
    font-size:12px;
}
@media (min-width:480px) {
    .foo {
        font-size: 32px
    }
}
@media (min-width:480px) and (max-width:1280px) {
    .foo {
        font-size: calc(12px + (32 - 12) * ((100vw - 480px) / (1280 - 480)))
    }
}

Using Multiple Declarations

To use multiple declarations, simply place multiple font-size-responsive declarations in normal cascading order within .foo.

It may be obvious to some, but you do NOT want to use font-size-responsive within a media query. font-size-responsive creates its own media query values based on a user's input so it would not make sense to nest media queries inside of media queries!

Don't forget--using multiple declarations is just like cascading normal CSS-- make sure they are in the appropriate order for the appropriate effect.

To clarify, let's look at a proper example's Input and Output:

Input:

.foo {
    font-size-responsive: 30px 60px 980px 1280px;
    font-size-responsive: 15px 45px 767px 980px;
    font-size-responsive: 12px 20px 480px 600px
}

Output:

.foo {
    font-size: 30px;
    font-size: 15px;
    font-size: 12px
}

@media (min-width: 480px) {
    .foo {
        font-size: 20px
    }
}

@media (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 600px) {
    .foo {
        font-size: calc(12px + (20 - 12) * ((100vw - 480px) / (600 - 480)))
    }
}

@media (min-width: 767px) {
    .foo {
        font-size: 45px
    }
}

@media (min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 980px) {
    .foo {
        font-size: calc(15px + (45 - 15) * ((100vw - 767px) / (980 - 767)))
    }
}

@media (min-width: 980px) {
    .foo {
        font-size: 60px
    }
}

@media (min-width: 980px) and (max-width: 1280px) {
    .foo {
        font-size: calc(30px + (60 - 30) * ((100vw - 980px) / (1280 - 980)))
    }
}

Not properly cascading your styles will cause bugs! but you knew that already :)
