detective-stylus
Advanced tools
Package description
The detective-stylus npm package is designed for analyzing Stylus files to find and extract import statements. This can be particularly useful in build tools and bundlers to determine dependencies between stylesheets, allowing for more efficient builds and updates. It parses Stylus syntax to identify `@import` and `@require` statements, enabling developers to programmatically understand dependencies and relationships within their Stylus stylesheets.
Extract import statements from Stylus files
This feature allows you to pass in a string of Stylus code and returns an array of strings representing the paths of files that are imported or required within that Stylus code. It's particularly useful for build tools that need to track file dependencies.
const detective = require('detective-stylus');
const content = '@import "./mixins.styl"';
const dependencies = detective(content);
console.log(dependencies); // ['./mixins.styl']Similar to detective-stylus, postcss-import is used to process CSS files to find and inline import statements. While detective-stylus is specific to Stylus files, postcss-import works with CSS files and is part of the PostCSS ecosystem, offering a broader range of CSS processing capabilities.
rework-import is another CSS preprocessor tool that allows you to manage and inline your CSS imports. It's similar to detective-stylus in its goal of resolving file dependencies but operates within the context of the Rework CSS preprocessor system, making it more suitable for projects that are not specifically using Stylus.
