# Browserslist [![Build Status][ci-img]][ci] Get browser versions that match given criteria. Useful for tools like [Autoprefixer]. You can select browsers by passing a string. This library will use Can I Use data to return list of all matching versions. For example, query to select all browser versions that are the last version of each major browser, or have a usage of over 10% in global usage statistics: ```js browserslist('last 1 version, > 10%'); //=> ["and_chr 51", "chrome 53", "chrome 52", "edge 14", "firefox 49", // "ie 11", "ie_mob 11", "ios_saf 10", "opera 39", "safari 10"] ``` To share browser support with users, you can use [browserl.ist](http://browserl.ist/). Sponsored by Evil Martians [Autoprefixer]: https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer [ci-img]: https://travis-ci.org/ai/browserslist.svg [ci]: https://travis-ci.org/ai/browserslist ## Queries Browserslist will use browsers criterias from: 1. First argument. 2. `BROWSERSLIST` environment variable. 3. `browserslist` config file in current or parent directories. 4. If all methods will not give a result, Browserslist will use defaults: `> 1%, last 2 versions, Firefox ESR`. Multiple criteria are combined as a boolean `OR`. A browser version must match at least one of the criteria to be selected. You can specify the versions by queries (case insensitive): * `last 2 versions`: the last 2 versions for each major browser. * `last 2 Chrome versions`: the last 2 versions of Chrome browser. * `> 5%`: versions selected by global usage statistics. * `> 5% in US`: uses USA usage statistics. It accepts [two-letter country code]. * `> 5% in my stats`: uses [custom usage data]. * `ie 6-8`: selects an inclusive range of versions. * `Firefox > 20`: versions of Firefox newer than 20. * `Firefox >= 20`: versions of Firefox newer than or equal to 20. * `Firefox < 20`: versions of Firefox less than 20. * `Firefox <= 20`: versions of Firefox less than or equal to 20. * `Firefox ESR`: the latest [Firefox ESR] version. * `iOS 7`: the iOS browser version 7 directly. * `not ie <= 8`: exclude browsers selected before by previous queries. You can add `not ` to any query. Browserslist works with separated versions of browsers. You should avoid queries like `Firefox > 0`. All queries are based on the [Can I Use] support table, e. g. `last 3 iOS versions` might select `8.4, 9.2, 9.3` (mixed major & minor), whereas `last 3 Chrome versions` might select `50, 49, 48` (major only). [two-letter country code]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Officially_assigned_code_elements [custom usage data]: #custom-usage-data [Can I Use]: http://caniuse.com/ ## Browsers Names are case insensitive: ### Major Browsers * `Chrome` for Google Chrome. * `Firefox` or `ff` for Mozilla Firefox. * `Explorer` or `ie` for Internet Explorer. * `Edge` for Microsoft Edge. * `iOS` or `ios_saf` for iOS Safari. * `Opera` for Opera. * `Safari` for desktop Safari. * `ExplorerMobile` or `ie_mob` for Internet Explorer Mobile. ### Other * `Android` for Android WebView. * `BlackBerry` or `bb` for Blackberry browser. * `ChromeAndroid` or `and_chr` for Chrome for Android (in Other section, because mostly same as common `Chrome`). * `FirefoxAndroid` or `and_ff` for Firefox for Android. * `OperaMobile` or `op_mob` for Opera Mobile. * `OperaMini` or `op_mini` for Opera Mini. * `Samsung` for Samsung Internet. * `UCAndroid` or `and_uc` for UC Browser for Android. ## Config File Browserslist’s config should be named `browserslist` and have browsers queries split by a new line. Comments starts with `#` symbol: ```yaml # Browsers that we support > 1% Last 2 versions IE 8 # sorry ``` Browserslist will check config in every directory in `path`. So, if tool process `app/styles/main.css`, you can put config to root, `app/` or `app/styles`. You can specify direct path to config by `config` option or `BROWSERSLIST_CONFIG` environment variables. ## Environment Variables If some tool use Browserslist inside, you can change browsers settings by [environment variables]: * `BROWSERSLIST` with browsers queries. ```sh BROWSERSLIST="> 5%" gulp css ``` * `BROWSERSLIST_CONFIG` with path to config file. ```sh BROWSERSLIST_CONFIG=./config/browserslist gulp css ``` * `BROWSERSLIST_STATS` with path to the custom usage data. ```sh BROWSERSLIST_STATS=./config/usage_data.json gulp css ``` [environment variables]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable ## Custom Usage Data If you have a website, you can query against the usage statistics of your site: 1. Import your Google Analytics data into [Can I Use]. Press `Import…` button in Settings page. 2. Open browser DevTools on [caniuse.com] add paste this snippet into Console: ```js var e=document.createElement('a');e.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,'+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(localStorage['usage-data-by-id'])[localStorage['config-primary_usage']])));e.setAttribute('download','stats.json');document.body.appendChild(e);e.click();document.body.removeChild(e); ``` 3. Save data to file in your project. 4. Give it to Browserslist by `stats` option or `BROWSERSLIST_STATS` environment variable: ```js browserslist('> 5% in my stats', { stats: 'path/to/the/stats.json' }); ``` Of course, you can generate usage statistics file by any other method. Option `stats` accepts path to file or data itself: ```js var custom = { ie: { 6: 0.01, 7: 0.4, 8: 1.5 }, chrome: { … }, … }; browserslist('> 5% in my stats', { stats: custom }); ``` Note that you can query against your custom usage data while also querying against global or regional data. For example, the query `> 5% in my stats, > 1%, > 10% in US` is permitted. [Can I Use]: http://caniuse.com/ ## Usage ```js var browserslist = require('browserslist'); // Your CSS/JS build tool code var process = function (css, opts) { var browsers = browserslist(opts.browsers, { path: opts.file }); // Your code to add features for selected browsers } ``` Queries can be a string `"> 5%, last 1 version"` or an array `['> 5%', 'last 1 version']`. If a query is missing, Browserslist will look for a config file. You can provide a `path` option (that can be a file) to find the config file relatively to it. For non-JS environment and debug purpose you can use CLI tool: ```sh browserslist "> 1%, last 2 version" ``` ## Coverage You can get total users coverage for selected browsers by JS API: ```js browserslist.coverage(browserslist('> 1%')) //=> 81.4 ``` ```js browserslist.coverage(browserslist('> 1% in US'), 'US') //=> 83.1 ``` Or by CLI: ```sh $ browserslist --coverage "> 1%" These browsers account for 81.4% of all users globally ``` ```sh $ browserslist --coverage=US "> 1% in US" These browsers account for 83.1% of all users in the US ```
