Explanation

All CSS style sheets are case-insensitive, except for parts that are not under the control of CSS. Like id and class are case sensitive so this plugin wont transform these things.

It will transform the selector where it is followed by id(s) or class(s)

example

H1.HEADING{
  color: red;
}

here it will transform the H1 to h1 but not the class .HEADING

The values are parsed using postcss-value-parser and then their units are checked and converted to lowercase if required
