Flatten css for easy comparison of you css files

flatten-css

Flatten CSS file for easy comparison. For example, if you re-write your css in less, you might want to compare the generated css with your original one.

Example

css:

.a, .b {
  background: #eee;
  color: #888;
}

flattened css:

.a {
  background: #eee;
  color: #888;
}
.b {
  background: #eee;
  color: #888;
}

The following two blocks of css are same after flatten

css1

.a, .b{
  width: 100px;
}

.a, .b{
  background-color: #eee;
}

css2

.b, .a {
  background-color: #eee;
  width: 100px;
}

They both flattened as:

.a {
  background-color: #eee;
  width: 100px;
}
.b {
  background-color: #eee;
  width: 100px;
}
