Stylelint config that sorts related property declarations by grouping together following the order:
- Positioning
- Box Model
- Typography
- Visual
- Animation
- Misc
.declaration-order {
/* Positioning */
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 10;
/* Box Model */
display: block;
float: right;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
/* Typography */
color: #888;
font: normal 16px Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height: 1.3;
text-align: center;
/* Visual */
background-color: #eee;
border: 1px solid #888;

user-select: none;
}- Add
stylelint,stylelint-orderand this package to your project:
npm install --save-dev stylelint stylelint-order stylelint-config-rational-order
# or, if you prefer yarn over npm:
yarn add --dev stylelint stylelint-order stylelint-config-rational-order- Add this package to the end of your extends array inside Stylelint configuration (.stylelintrc for example):
{
"extends": [
// "stylelint-config-standard",
"stylelint-config-rational-order"
]
}This shareable config contains the following:
{
"plugins": [
"stylelint-order",
"stylelint-config-rational-order/plugin"
],
"rules": {
"order/properties-order": [],
"plugin/rational-order": [true, {
"border-in-box-model": false,
"empty-line-between-groups": false,
}]
}
}Since it adds stylelint-order and stylelint-config-rational-order to plugins and also adds required rules, you don't have to do this yourself when extending this config.
Defines to which group the border property belongs to.
If true border property belongs to the box model section.
The default value is false (border property belongs to the visual section).
If true adds an empty line between groups. The default value is false.
Why should I use the rational order and group and sort CSS properties by type instead of alphabetical order?
