library1.32.0jsnpmunverified

Native binary package for the Lightning CSS CLI targeting x86_64 Linux with musl libc. Lightning CSS (version 1.32.0) is a high-performance CSS parser, transformer, and minifier written in Rust, developed by the Parcel bundler team. It offers a complete CSS toolchain including vendor prefixing, nesting support, custom media queries, color function conversion, lowering modern CSS to browser-compatible syntax, and minification with optional source maps. Unlike JavaScript-based tools like PostCSS or cssnano, it processes CSS in Rust with no native dependencies on the target system, achieving significantly faster processing speeds. The CLI is published as platform-specific npm packages; this one is for Alpine Linux and other musl-based distributions. Update cadence follows Lightning CSS releases, approximately monthly with semantic versioning.

✓ npx lightningcss <command>

✗ npm install lightningcss-cli --global

The CLI is intended to be invoked via npx or local devDependency. Global install is discouraged because platform-specific packages may conflict.

Minify a CSS file using Lightning CSS CLI via npx with output to a new file.

npx lightningcss --minify input.css -o output.min.css

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThis package must be installed alongside the main lightningcss-cli package. It is automatically selected based on platform, but manual installation without the main package will result in missing commands.

fix

Install the main lightningcss-cli package (npm install -D lightningcss-cli) which pulls the correct platform-specific binary.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaOn non-musl Linux (e.g., Ubuntu), the glibc variant (lightningcss-cli-linux-x64-gnu) is required. Installing the musl variant will cause binary execution failures.

fix

Ensure you are on a musl-based system (like Alpine) or install the gnu variant via 'npm install -D lightningcss-cli' (auto-detection).

affects: >=1.0.0

breakingNode.js < 12.0.0 is not supported due to native binary compatibility.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to 12.0.0 or higher.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Module did not self-register: '.../lightningcss-cli-linux-x64-musl/lightningcss.linux-x64-musl.node'.

Attempting to use the musl binary on a glibc-based Linux distribution.

fix

Remove the musl package and install the main lightningcss-cli package, which selects the correct platform binary automatically.

sh: npx: command not found

npm is not installed or not in PATH; npx is bundled with npm.

fix

Install Node.js and npm, or run via node_modules/.bin/lightningcss directly.
