Rucksack is a PostCSS plugin bundle that adds CSS features and shortcuts like responsive typography, shorthand positioning, clearfix, and extra pseudo-elements. It is distributed as the npm package rucksack-css and integrates with Gulp, Webpack, Grunt, Stylus, a CLI, and a JavaScript API.

Use cases

  • add responsive fluid typography to css
  • use shorthand syntax for css position properties
  • generate clearfix with css
  • auto-generate font-face src sets
  • standardize input range styling across browsers
  • convert hex colors to rgba in css

When to choose

  • you want extra CSS conveniences on top of standard CSS via PostCSS
  • you need fluid responsive typography without a full framework
  • you already use PostCSS in your build pipeline

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained solution - the project has a successor, Satchel, and its last release was 2021
  • you want a full CSS framework with components and layout systems
  • you use CSS-in-JS, in which case Satchel is the recommended alternative
