  • Need help getting PostCSS and a plugin working
    2 projects | /r/vuejs | 8 Jul 2022
    First, just want to say I'm pretty new to having a full build-process and the Vue scene in general so apologies for my ignorance on these matters. I've been trying to get postcss-sort-media-queries to work for a solid day now. I cannot get it to run automatically. I installed postcss-cli and manually run it just fine so all the pieces are theoretically there. From my understanding, the postcss-config file doesn't work in Vue3. I have tried the following in package.json: "postcss": { "plugins": { "postcss-sort-media-queries": { "sort": "desktop-first" } } },   I've also tried the following in vue.config.js (please note, I've left all three options I've tried based on various formats I've seen in forums etc): const postcssSortMediaQueries = require("postcss-sort-media-queries"); ... css: { loaderOptions: { postcss: { postcssOptions: { plugins: [ ["postcss-sort-media-queries", {sort: "desktop-first"}], postcssSortMediaQueries({ sort: "desktop-first" }), require("postcss-sort-media-queries")({ sort: "desktop-first" }), ] } }, sass: { additionalData: @import "@/assets/styles/base/_variables.scss"; @import "@/assets/styles/mixins/_mixins.scss"; } } }, ...   There are no errors when running 'npm run build' so I have nothing to go off of as to why it's not firing. Thanks for any and all help!
