> Selector parser with built in methods for working with selector strings.
The postcss-selector-parser npm package is a parser that helps in transforming CSS selectors. It provides a rich API to analyze and manipulate CSS selectors programmatically. This package is particularly useful for tasks related to CSS processing, such as linting, optimization, and custom transformations.
Parsing and transforming selectors
This feature allows for the parsing and transformation of CSS selectors. In the provided code sample, all 'h1' tags in a selector are changed to 'h2' tags.
const parser = require('postcss-selector-parser');
const transform = selectors => {
selectors.walkTags(tag => {
if (tag.value === 'h1') {
tag.value = 'h2';
}
});
};
const transformed = parser(transform).processSync('h1.class');
Extracting classes from selectors
This feature demonstrates how to extract class names from a selector. The code sample extracts 'class1' and 'class2' from the selector string '.class1.class2'.
const parser = require('postcss-selector-parser');
const extractClasses = selector => {
const classes = [];
parser(selectors => {
selectors.walkClasses(classNode => {
classes.push(classNode.value);
});
}).processSync(selector);
return classes;
};
const classes = extractClasses('.class1.class2');
Working with pseudo classes
This feature focuses on manipulating pseudo classes within selectors. In the example, ':hover' pseudo classes are replaced with ':focus'.
const parser = require('postcss-selector-parser');
const transformPseudo = selector => {
return parser(selectors => {
selectors.walkPseudos(pseudo => {
if (pseudo.value === ':hover') {
pseudo.value = ':focus';
}
});
}).processSync(selector);
};
const result = transformPseudo('a:hover');
css-what is a CSS selector parser that can parse selectors into an understandable format but does not offer the same level of manipulation and transformation capabilities as postcss-selector-parser.
css-selector-tokenizer can tokenize and parse CSS selectors. It provides a different API and approach compared to postcss-selector-parser, focusing more on the tokenization aspect rather than direct manipulation.
scss-parser is designed to parse SCSS syntax. While it can handle selectors within the SCSS syntax, its primary focus is broader than just selectors, making it less specialized compared to postcss-selector-parser.
Selector parser with built in methods for working with selector strings.
With npm do:
npm install postcss-selector-parser
const parser = require('postcss-selector-parser');
const transform = selectors => {
selectors.walk(selector => {
// do something with the selector
console.log(String(selector))
});
};
const transformed = parser(transform).processSync('h1, h2, h3');
To normalize selector whitespace:
const parser = require('postcss-selector-parser');
const normalized = parser().processSync('h1, h2, h3', {lossless: false});
// -> h1,h2,h3
Async support is provided through parser.process
and will resolve a Promise
with the resulting selector string.
