PostCSS Gap Properties

PostCSS Gap Properties lets you use the gap, column-gap, and row-gap shorthand properties in CSS, following the CSS Grid Layout specification.

.standard-grid {
    gap: 20px;
}

.spaced-grid {
    column-gap: 40px;
    row-gap: 20px;
}

/* becomes */

.standard-grid {
    grid-gap: 20px;
    gap: 20px;
}

.spaced-grid {
    grid-column-gap: 40px;
    column-gap: 40px;
    grid-row-gap: 20px;
    row-gap: 20px;
}
