dss_parser

DSS Parser for Ruby

A parser for DSS comments in CSS.

DSS allows documentation of CSS using comments in CSS files, designed to be machine readable for living style guides. For more information on DSS https://github.com/DSSWG/DSS.

This has a couple of additional parsers beyond the DSS spec

• Variables for mixins in scss
• Section to organise the classes

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dss-parser'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dss-parser

Usage

To use DSS create an instance of dss-parser parsing in a folder containing your css. It will recusivly pass any css/scss files in that directory. And then find any DSS comments.

parser = DssParser.new('/path/to/stylesheets')
dss = parser.get_dss

This will create an array of DSS comments that can be used e.g.

dss.each do |d|
  d.name
  d.description
  d.markup
  d.section
  d.states.each do |state|
    state.name
    state.description
  end
  d.variables.each do |variable|
    variable.name
    variable.description
  end
end

Additional Parsers

The gem contains parsers for the main DSS attributes but can be extended with your own parsers.

parser = DssParser.new('/path/to/stylesheet')
parser.register_parser(MyParser::AdditionalAttribute)
dss = parser.get_dss

To create your own parser take a look at the parsers in lib/dss_parser/parsers.
