# Browserslist
Library to share supported browsers list between different front-end tools.
It is used in [Autoprefixer], [Stylelint], [eslint-plugin-compat]
and [babel-env-preset].
All tools that rely on Browserslist will find its config automatically,
when you add the following to `package.json`:
```json
{
"browserslist": [
"> 1%",
"last 2 versions"
]
}
```
Or in `browserslist` config:
```yaml
# Browsers that we support
> 1%
Last 2 versions
IE 10 # sorry
```
Developers set browsers list in queries like `last 2 version`
to be free from updating browser versions manually.
Browserslist will use [Can i Use] data for this queries.
Browserslist will take browsers queries from tool option,
`browserslist` config, `browserslist` section in `package.json`
or environment variables.
You can test Browserslist queries in [online demo].

## Queries
Browserslist will use browsers query from one of this sources:
1. Tool options. For example `browsers` option in Autoprefixer.
2. `BROWSERSLIST` environment variable.
3. `browserslist` config file in current or parent directories.
4. `browserslist` key in `package.json` file in current or parent directories.
5. If the above methods did not produce a valid result
Browserslist will use defaults: `> 1%, last 2 versions, Firefox ESR`.
We recommends to write queries in `browserslist` config or `package.json`.
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`.
Multiple criteria are combined as a boolean `OR`. A browser version must match
at least one of the criteria to be selected.
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 and minor),
whereas `last 3 Chrome versions` might select `50, 49, 48` (major only).

## 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.
### Others
* `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.
* `Electron` for Electron framework. It will be converted to Chrome version.
### Electron
[`electron-to-chromium`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-to-chromium)
could return a compatible Browserslist query
for your (major) Electron version:
```js
const e2c = require('electron-to-chromium')
autoprefixer({
browsers: e2c.electronToBrowserList('1.4') //=> "Chrome >= 53"
})
```
## Config File
Browserslist 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 in `BROWSERSLIST_CONFIG` environment variables.
## `package.json`
If you want to reduce config files in project root, you can specify
browsers in `package.json` with `browserslist` key:
```js
{
"private": true,
"dependencies": {
"autoprefixer": "^6.5.4"
},
"browserslist": [
"> 1%",
"last 2 versions"
]
}
```
## Environments
You can also specify different browser queries for various environments.
Browserslist will choose query according to `BROWSERSLIST_ENV` or `NODE_ENV`
variables. If none of them is declared, Browserslist will firstly look
for `development` queries and then use defaults.
In `package.json`:
```js
{
"browserslist": {
"production": [
"last 2 version",
"ie 9"
],
"development": [
"last 1 version"
]
}
}
```
In `browserslist` config:
```ini
[production]
last 2 version
ie 9
[development]
last 1 version
```
## 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_ENV` with environments string.
```sh
BROWSERSLIST_ENV="development" gulp css
```
* `BROWSERSLIST_STATS` with path to the custom usage data
for `> 1% in my stats` query.
```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 [Can I Use] and paste this snippet
into the browser 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 the data to a `browserslist-stats.json` file in your project.
Of course, you can generate usage statistics file by any other method.
File format should be like:
```js
{
"ie": {
"6": 0.01,
"7": 0.4,
"8": 1.5
},
"chrome": {
},
}
```
Note that you can query against your custom usage data
while also querying against global or regional data.
For example, the query `> 1% in my stats, > 5% in US, 10%` is permitted.

## JS API
```js
var browserslist = require('browserslist');
// Your CSS/JS build tool code
var process = function (source, opts) {
var browsers = browserslist(opts.browsers, {
stats: opts.stats,
path: opts.file,
env: opts.env
});
// 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 versions"
```
## 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
```
