Posted on Aug 29 Today, Firefox version 117 has been released, which adds support for native Nesting of CSS rules! With that addition, all modern desktop browsers now support it! 🎉Do keep in mind that there are some mobile browsers that do not yet support it. Together, these account for about 3% of the global browser market share.Now that this feature is well supported, we can ask ourselves if using a CSS pre-processor is still worth the hassle.But first, a quick refresher.CSS nesting allows you to group related selectors together and potentially reduce the number of rules you need to write:It allows you to nest multiple levels, but please don't go overboard with nesting too deeply, as this adds up to the specificity of these CSS rules. This makes it hard to read and reuse your styles - nobody likes pyramids of doom! Deep nesting is simply unnecessary in most cases.Many people use so called CSS pre-processors such as SCSS or LESS that add fancy features to CSS, such as variables, mixins and functions, but they need to be transformed back to regular CSS during the build process of your app, so the browser can understand it.The features they offer are:All in all, most features can nowadays be replaced by native CSS and you can ask yourself whether extra pre-processing tools are still that useful.In large projects, it is still a good idea to use PostCSS, which will translate new CSS features to something that browsers understand today.Templates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use.
