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;
