CSS shorthand for positioning

There are any shorthand for top right bottom left or for width and height ?

I have a lot of css like this

#topDiv {
	position:absolute;
	top:0px;
	left:0px;
	right:0px;
	height:100px;
}
#centerDiv {
	position:absolute;
	top:100px;
	bottom:120px;
	left:0px;
	right:0px;
}
#consoleDiv {
	position:absolute;
	left:0px;
	right:0px;
	bottom:0px;
	height:120px;
}

I would like to do anything like this

position: absolute 10px 50px 50px 100px;

or

size: 400px 200px; 

2021 Update: The inset property is currently gaining adoption. This property uses the same multi-value syntax as the shorthand margin property. For browser compatibility, please see MDN.

No short-hand exists to combine all of these values. These are all different properties, unlike, for instance background, which has colors, images, positions and repeat instructions and as such can be coalesced into a short-hand form.

If you really wanted this type of control, you could use something like SASS and create a mixin.

I just found this, was looking for the same, I ended up using sass for top, bottom, left, right

here is my solution

@mixin position($top, $right: $top, $bottom: $top, $left: $right) {
    top: $top;
 	right: $right;
    bottom: $bottom;
 	left: $left;
 }

works like most css shorthands

@include position(5) // all 4

@include position(5,4) // vertical, horizontal

@include position(5,4,3) // top, horizontal, bottom

@include position(5,4,3,2) // top, right, bottom, left

The answer is no as they are different properties so can not be combined. You can however consolidate your css a little bit rather than repeating certain properties, e.g:

#topDiv,
#centerDiv,
#consoleDiv {
	position:absolute;
	left:0;
	right:0;
}
#topDiv {
	top:0;
	height:100px;
}
#centerDiv {
	top:100px;
	bottom:120px;
}
#consoleDiv {
	bottom:0;
	height:120px;
}

inset is what you can use in 2020 as positioning shorthand, but you need to use PostCSS and this plugin https://github.com/jonathantneal/postcss-inset

Example:

.example {
  inset: 10px 20px 80px;
}

/* becomes */

.example {
  top: 10px;
  right: 20px;
  bottom: 80px;
  left: 20px;
}

More info and spec here: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-logical-1/#propdef-inset

you can use inset: top right bottom left;.

#topDiv {
    position: absolute;
    inset: 0;
    min-height: 100px;
}

#centerDiv {
    position: absolute;
    inset: 100px 0 120px;
}

#consoleDiv {
    position: absolute;
    inset: auto 0 0 0;
}

If you want shorthand for this, you're gonna need to make what's called a mixin with Sass. Don't know what it is? Look it up!

@mixin position($position, $args) {
  @each $o in top right bottom left {
        $i: index($args, $o);
 
    @if $i and $i + 1< = length($args) and type-of(nth($args, $i + 1)) == number  {
          #{$o}: nth($args, $i + 1);
    }
  }
 
  position: $position;
}
 
@mixin absolute($args) {
        @include position("absolute", $args);
}
 
@mixin fixed($args) {
        @include position("fixed", $args);
}
 
@mixin relative($args) {
        @include position("relative", $args);
}

It is better to use Inset link to inset MDN page here
