css-value

What is css-value?

The css-value npm package is used to parse CSS values into their component parts. It helps in breaking down complex CSS values into more manageable pieces, making it easier to manipulate and understand CSS properties programmatically.

What are css-value's main functionalities?

Parsing CSS Values

This feature allows you to parse a CSS value string into an array of objects, each representing a component of the value. For example, '10px 20px 30px 40px' would be parsed into an array of objects with each object containing the value and unit.

const cssValue = require('css-value');
const parsedValue = cssValue('10px 20px 30px 40px');
console.log(parsedValue);

Handling Multiple Values

This feature allows you to handle multiple CSS values separated by commas. The parsed result will be an array of arrays, where each sub-array represents a set of values separated by spaces.

const cssValue = require('css-value');
const parsedValue = cssValue('10px 20px, 30px 40px');
console.log(parsedValue);

Parsing Complex CSS Values

This feature allows you to parse complex CSS values like colors in rgba format. The parsed result will break down the rgba value into its individual components.

const cssValue = require('css-value');
const parsedValue = cssValue('rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)');
console.log(parsedValue);
