postcss-value-parser
Transforms CSS declaration values and at-rule parameters into a tree of nodes, and provides a simple traversal API.
Usage
var valueParser = require('postcss-value-parser');
var cssBackgroundValue = 'url(foo.png) no-repeat 40px 73%';
var parsedValue = valueParser(cssBackgroundValue);
// parsedValue exposes an API described below,
// e.g. parsedValue.walk(..), parsedValue.toString(), etc.
For example, parsing the value rgba(233, 45, 66, .5)
will return the following:
{
nodes: [
{
type: 'function',
value: 'rgba',
before: '',
after: '',
nodes: [
{ type: 'word', value: '233' },
{ type: 'div', value: ',', before: '', after: ' ' },
{ type: 'word', value: '45' },
{ type: 'div', value: ',', before: '', after: ' ' },
{ type: 'word', value: '66' },
{ type: 'div', value: ',', before: ' ', after: '' },
{ type: 'word', value: '.5' }
]
}
]
}
If you wanted to convert each rgba()
value in sourceCSS
to a hex value, you could do so like this:
var valueParser = require('postcss-value-parser');
var parsed = valueParser(sourceCSS);
// walk() will visit all the of the nodes in the tree,
// invoking the callback for each.
parsed.walk(function (node) {
// Since we only want to transform rgba() values,
// we can ignore anything else.
if (node.type !== 'function' && node.value !== 'rgba') return;
// We can make an array of the rgba() arguments to feed to a
// convertToHex() function
var color = node.nodes.filter(function (node) {
return node.type === 'word';
}).map(function (node) {
return Number(node.value);
}); // [233, 45, 66, .5]
// Now we will transform the existing rgba() function node
// into a word node with the hex value
node.type = 'word';
node.value = convertToHex(color);
})
parsed.toString(); // #E92D42
Nodes
Each node is an object with these common properties:
- type: The type of node (
word
,string
,div
,space
,comment
, orfunction
). Each type is documented below. - value: Each node has a
value
property; but what exactlyvalue
means is specific to the node type. Details are documented for each type below. - sourceIndex: The starting index of the node within the original source
string. For example, given the source string
10px 20px
, theword
node whose value is20px
will have asourceIndex
of5
.
word
The catch-all node type that includes keywords (e.g. no-repeat
),
quantities (e.g. 20px
, 75%
, 1.5
), and hex colors (e.g. #e6e6e6
).
Node-specific properties:
- value: The "word" itself.
string
A quoted string value, e.g. "something"
in content: "something";
.
Node-specific properties:
- value: The text content of the string.
- quote: The quotation mark surrounding the string, either
"
or'
. - unclosed:
true
if the string was not closed properly. e.g."unclosed string
.
div
A divider, for example
,
inanimation-duration: 1s, 2s, 3s
/
inborder-radius: 10px / 23px
:
in(min-width: 700px)
Node-specific properties:
- value: The divider character. Either
,
,/
, or:
(see examples above). - before: Whitespace before the divider.
- after: Whitespace after the divider.
space
Whitespace used as a separator, e.g.
occurring twice in border: 1px solid black;
.
Node-specific properties:
- value: The whitespace itself.
comment
A CSS comment starts with /*
and ends with */
Node-specific properties:
- value: The comment value without
/*
and*/
- unclosed:
true
if the comment was not closed properly. e.g./* comment without an end
.
function
A CSS function, e.g. rgb(0,0,0)
or url(foo.bar)
.
Function nodes have nodes nested within them: the function arguments.
Additional properties:
- value: The name of the function, e.g.
rgb
inrgb(0,0,0)
. - before: Whitespace after the opening parenthesis and before the first argument,
e.g.
rgb( 0,0,0)
. - after: Whitespace before the closing parenthesis and after the last argument,
e.g.
rgb(0,0,0 )
. - nodes: More nodes representing the arguments to the function.
- unclosed:
true
if the parentheses was not closed properly. e.g.( unclosed-function
.
Media features surrounded by parentheses are considered functions with an
empty value. For example, (min-width: 700px)
parses to these nodes:
[
{
type: 'function', value: '', before: '', after: '',
nodes: [
{ type: 'word', value: 'min-width' },
{ type: 'div', value: ':', before: '', after: ' ' },
{ type: 'word', value: '700px' }
]
}
]
url()
functions can be parsed a little bit differently depending on
whether the first character in the argument is a quotation mark.
url( /gfx/img/bg.jpg )
parses to:
{ type: 'function', sourceIndex: 0, value: 'url', before: ' ', after: ' ', nodes: [
{ type: 'word', sourceIndex: 5, value: '/gfx/img/bg.jpg' }
] }
url( "/gfx/img/bg.jpg" )
, on the other hand, parses to:
{ type: 'function', sourceIndex: 0, value: 'url', before: ' ', after: ' ', nodes: [
type: 'string', sourceIndex: 5, quote: '"', value: '/gfx/img/bg.jpg' },
] }
unicode-range
The unicode-range CSS descriptor sets the specific range of characters to be
used from a font defined by @font-face and made available
for use on the current page (unicode-range: U+0025-00FF
).
Node-specific properties:
- value: The "unicode-range" itself.
API
var valueParser = require('postcss-value-parser');
valueParser.unit(quantity)
Parses quantity
, distinguishing the number from the unit. Returns an object like the following:
// Given 2rem
{
number: '2',
unit: 'rem'
}
If the quantity
argument cannot be parsed as a number, returns false
.
This function does not parse complete values: you cannot pass it 1px solid black
and expect px
as
the unit. Instead, you should pass it single quantities only. Parse 1px solid black
, then pass it
the stringified 1px
node (a word
node) to parse the number and unit.
valueParser.stringify(nodes[, custom])
Stringifies a node or array of nodes.
The custom
function is called for each node
; return a string to override the default behaviour.
valueParser.walk(nodes, callback[, bubble])
Walks each provided node, recursively walking all descendent nodes within functions.
Returning false
in the callback
will prevent traversal of descendent nodes (within functions).
You can use this feature to for shallow iteration, walking over only the immediate children.
Note: This only applies if bubble
is false
(which is the default).
By default, the tree is walked from the outermost node inwards.
To reverse the direction, pass true
for the bubble
argument.
The callback
is invoked with three arguments: callback(node, index, nodes)
.
node
: The current node.index
: The index of the current node.nodes
: The complete nodes array passed towalk()
.
Returns the valueParser
instance.
var parsed = valueParser(value)
Returns the parsed node tree.
parsed.nodes
The array of nodes.
parsed.toString()
Stringifies the node tree.
parsed.walk(callback[, bubble])
Walks each node inside parsed.nodes
. See the documentation for valueParser.walk()
above.
