I am trying to find out, what the postcss-loader is good for.
On the github page
https://github.com/postcss/postcss-loader
it says:
Loader for webpack to process CSS with PostCSS
I dont't get that: So, PostCSS is a a WP-Loader to process CSS with PostCSS?
IMHO, that's a circular definition.
So what is PostCSS, is it a CSSLoader? Or, since it's called Post CSS is it a loader to run after some other CSS-loader?
So, PostCSS is a a WP-Loader to process CSS with PostCSS?
No.
PostCSS-loader is a WP-Loader so you can process CSS with PostCSS inside Webpack.
i.e. It loads PostCSS into Webpack.
IMHO, that's a circular definition
It isn't because PostCSS and PostCSS-loader are different things.
So what is PostCSS, is it a CSSLoader?
No. PostCSS is:
a tool for transforming styles with JS plugins. These plugins can lint your CSS, support variables and mixins, transpile future CSS syntax, inline images, and more.
