Optional secondary options

except: ["after-same-name", "inside-block", "blockless-after-same-name-blockless", "blockless-after-blockless", "first-nested"]

"after-same-name"

Reverse the primary option for at-rules that follow another at-rule with the same name.

This means that you can group your at-rules by name.

For example, with "always":

The following patterns are not considered problems:

@charset "UTF-8";

@import url(x.css);
@import url(y.css);

@media (min-width: 100px) {}

a {

  @extends .foo;
  @extends .bar;

  @include x;
  @include y {}
}

"inside-block"

Reverse the primary option for at-rules that are inside a block.

For example, with "always":

The following patterns are considered problems:

a {

  @extend foo;
  color: pink;
}

b {
  color: pink;

  @extend foo;
}

The following patterns are not considered problems:

a {
  @extend foo;
  color: pink;
}

b {
  color: pink;
  @extend foo;
}

"blockless-after-same-name-blockless"

Reverse the primary option for blockless at-rules that follow another blockless at-rule with the same name.

This means that you can group your blockless at-rules by name.

Shared-line comments do not affect this option.

For example, with "always":

The following patterns are not considered problems:

@charset "UTF-8";

@import url(x.css);
@import url(y.css);

@charset "UTF-8";

@import url(x.css); /* comment */
@import url(y.css);

a {

  @extends .foo;
  @extends .bar;

  @include loop;
  @include doo;
}

"blockless-after-blockless"

Reverse the primary option for blockless at-rules that follow another blockless at-rule.

Shared-line comments do not affect this option.

For example, with "always":

The following patterns are considered problems:

@import url(x.css);

@import url(y.css);

@media print {}

The following patterns are not considered problems:

@import url(x.css);
@import url(y.css);

@media print {}

@import url(x.css); /* comment */
@import url(y.css);

@media print {}

"first-nested"

Reverse the primary option for at-rules that are nested and the first child of their parent node.

For example, with "always":

The following patterns are considered problems:

a {

  @extend foo;
  color: pink;
}

b {
  color: pink;
  @extend foo;
}

The following patterns are not considered problems:

a {
  @extend foo;
  color: pink;
}

b {
  color: pink;

  @extend foo;
}

ignore: ["after-comment", "first-nested", "inside-block", "blockless-after-same-name-blockless", "blockless-after-blockless"]

  @media {}

  @media {}
}

"inside-block"

}

b {
  color: pink;

  @extend foo;
}

"blockless-after-same-name-blockless"

Ignore blockless at-rules that follow another blockless at-rule with the same name.

This means that you can group your blockless at-rules by name.
