PostCSS Important Shorthand

PostCSS plugin that allows you to use shorthand for your !important declarations.

Please remember, that you shouldn't use '!important' in most cases, so be careful with them. But here is a plugin, in case you really need them :). You can write !important declarations in different ways, as you can see on the example below. Just choose the most convenient one.

---

CSS before:

.test-class {
    position: relative !;
    margin: !auto;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    font: 16px/20px Arial, sans-serif;
    text-align: center!;
}

CSS after:

.test-class {
    position: relative !important;
    margin: auto !important;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    font: 16px/20px Arial, sans-serif;
    text-align: center !important;
}

Install via npm

$ npm install --save-dev postcss-important-shorthand
