Platform-specific binary package for the LightningCSS CLI tool on Windows 64-bit (MSVC). Version 1.32.0. LightningCSS is a high-performance CSS parser, transformer, and minifier written in Rust, used as the default CSS processor in Parcel v2. It offers significant speed improvements over JavaScript-based tools like cssnano and postcss-minimize, with built-in vendor prefixing, nesting, custom media queries, and modern CSS features. Released under the Parcel umbrella, with frequent updates aligned with LightningCSS core releases.

Verified usage

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThis package is a platform-specific binary; use 'lightningcss-cli' (without platform suffix) in package.json dependencies, which automatically picks the correct platform package.

fix

Replace 'lightningcss-cli-win32-x64-msvc' with 'lightningcss-cli' in your dependencies.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe CLI binary is not available via 'npx lightningcss' if installed as a devDependency; you may need to add a script or use 'npx --package=lightningcss-cli'.

fix

Add to your package.json scripts: {"build:css": "lightningcss ..."}

affects: >=1.0.0

breakingFrom version 1.0.24, the CSS parser API changed: custom at-rules and unknown properties were previously emitted as errors, now they are silently ignored with a warning unless using '--error-on-unrecognized'.

fix

Add '--error-on-unrecognized' to preserve strict mode.

affects: >=1.0.24

deprecatedThe '--output' flag is deprecated and will be removed in v2. Use '--output-dir' or '--output-file' instead.

fix

Replace '--output' with '--output-dir' or '--output-file'.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors
