subtitle: How to configure postcss-cssnext options
---

@[toc]

When you have correctly [setup](/setup/) cssnext, you might want to tweak it a
little bit. You will find below all the available **options**.

## `browsers`

_(default:
[browserslist default](https://github.com/ai/browserslist#readme)
`> 1%, last 2 versions, Firefox ESR, Opera 12.1`)_

Allows you to specify your browser scope.
**This option enables or disables `features` according to
[caniuse](http://caniuse.com/) database.**
This is the exact same option that you might know from Autoprefixer.
Since cssnext includes Autoprefixer, the option is propagated.

See [Browserslist](https://github.com/ai/browserslist#queries) queries syntax to
adjust this option to your needs.

_Note: if you don't specify this option, Browserslist will automatically try to
find a `browserslist` config file or use its default value._

## `features`

_(default: all features depending on your `browsers` options)_

**You should probably use `browsers` option instead of this one.**

Object containing key of features to enable/disable.
_Features are enabled by default: no key means feature is enabled_. Keys can be found by looking in [src/features.js](https://github.com/MoOx/postcss-cssnext/blob/master/src/features.js).

```js
//eg: disable custom properties support

var postcss = require("postcss")
var cssnext = require("postcss-cssnext")

postcss([
  cssnext({
    features: {
      customProperties: false
    }
  })
])
```

Each feature is based on PostCSS plugins & can get its own options.
To pass options to a feature, you can just pass an object to the feature:

```js
//eg: pass variables

var postcss = require("postcss")
var cssnext = require("postcss-cssnext")

postcss([
  cssnext({
    features: {
      customProperties: {
        variables: {
          mainColor: "red",
          altColor: "blue",
        }
      }
    }
  })
])
```

## `warnForDuplicates`

_(default: true)_

This option should be left with its default value, unless you really know what
you are doing.  
**Most tutorial on the internet are wrong (probably 99%)
and show provide duplicates in their examples.
(eg: autoprefixer + cssnext - but cssnext already includes autoprefixer).**  
_In order to fix this, here is a warning. You are welcome._

## `warnForDeprecations`

_(default: true)_

This option should be left with its default value, unless you are aware of the
risk and plan to handle the situation.

browsing the
[feature mapping](https://github.com/MoOx/postcss-cssnext/blob/master/src/features.js)**

_Note: order is important to get everything working correctly._
