parse/stringify/write css in js

installation:

  npm install --save-exact @magic/css

usage:

cli:

@magic/css includes a cli script that can handle most usecases the internal javascript api allows.

to use this cli from any directory, npm install -g @magic.css is a useful shortcut. after the global install, you can just call mcss from anywhere in your terminal.

after installation, add: "mcss": "mcss" to your package.json "scripts" section and then npm run mcss to see the help output below.

library:

init

import css from '@magic/css'

all in one

import css from '@magic/css'

const style = {
  body: {
    color: 'green',
  },
  '.class': {
    color: 'orange',
  },
  '#id': {
    color: 'purple',
  },
}

css(style)

// returns
Object {
  // nicely formatted css string
  css: 'body {\n  color: green;\n}\n.class {\n  color: orange;\n}\n#id{\n  color: purple;\n}\n',
  // minimal whitespace
  minified: 'body{color:green}.class{color:orange}#id{color:purple}',
  // array of used classes if any
  classes: ['.class'],
  // array of used ids if any
  ids: ['#id'],
  // array of used selectors
  selectors: ['body', '.class', '.id'],
  // ast of this css object
  parsed: [
    ['body', { color: 'green' }],
    ['.class': { color: 'orange' }],
    ['#id': { color: 'purple' }],
  ],
}

styles

const style = {
  '.className': {
    color: 'green',
  },
}
await css.stringify(style)

// .className { color:green; }

hover/active etc

const style = {
  div: {
    color: 'red',
    '&:hover': {
      color: 'green',
    },
  },
}

await css.stringify(style)

// div { color: red; }
// div:hover { color: green; }

nesting / suffix

to suffix some of the selectors, add a & to any of them except the first one

const style = {
  div: {
    '.class1, &.class2': {
      color: 'red',
    },
  },
}

await css.stringify(style)

// div .class1, div.class2 { color: red; }

if you add the & at the start of the string, all of the selectors will have it applied

const style = {
  div: {
    '&.class1, .class2': {
      color: 'orange',
    },
  },
}

await css.stringify(style)

// div.class1, div.class2 { color: orange; }

prefix without space

to prefix the parent of the selector using the child selectors, add a & at the end of any selectors but the last one.

const style = {
  '.class': {
    'p&, :hover': {
      color: 'orange',
    },
  },
}

await css.stringify(style)

// p.class, .class:hover { color: orange; }

prefix all without space

if the & is at the end of a selector, the & will be applied to each of them.

const style = {
  '.class': {
    'div, p&': {
      color: 'orange';
    },
  },
}

await css.stringify(style)

// div.class, p.class { color: orange; }

prefix with space

to prefix the parent with a space, use a double && instead of a single &

const style = {
  '#id': {
    '.class2&&, .class3': {
      color: 'orange';
    },
  },
}

await css.stringify(style)

// .class2 #id, #id.class3 { color: orange; }

prefix all with space

if the && is at the end of a selector, the && will be applied to each of them.

const style = {
  '.class': {
    'div, p&&': {
      color: 'orange';
    },
  },
}

await css.stringify(style)

// div .class, p .class { color: orange; }

parse

const style = {
  '.className': {
    '#id': {
      color: 'orange',
    },
  },
}

css.parse(style)

// ast

stringify

const style = {
  '.className': {
    '#id': {
      color: 'white',
    },
  },
}

await css.stringify(
  style,
) // minified string
`.className #id{color:white;}`

write to filesystem

const style = {
  '.className': {
    '#id': {
      color: opts.textColor,
    },
  },
}

// writes styles to ./out.css
await css.write(style)

// writes styles to ./outfile.css
await css.write(style, { OUTFILE: './outfile.css' })

media queries

Mediaqueries can use the vars.widths object to determine appropriate breakpoint sizes.

Default widths:

opts.widths = {
  tablet: '500px',
  laptop: '900px',
  desktop: '1200px',
  agency: '1600px',
}

const style = {
  [`@media screen and (min-width: ${vars.widths?.tablet || '500px'})`]: {
    '#id': {
      color: opts.textColor,
    },
  },
}

await css.stringify(
  style,
) // css string
`
@media screen and (min-width: 500px) {
  #id {
    color: green;
  }
}
`

webfonts

const style = {
  '@font-face': {
    family: 'font-name',
    url: '/fonts/',
    styles: ['normal', 'italic'],
    weights: [400, 600],
  },
}

await css.stringify(
  style,
) // css string
`
@font-face {
  font-family: "font-name";
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: normal;
  src: url('/fonts/font-name-400-normal.eot\');
  src: url('/fonts/font-name-400-normal.eot#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),',
  url('/fonts/font-name-400-normal.ttf') format('truetype'),',
  url('/fonts/font-name-400-normal.woff') format('woff'),',
  url('/fonts/font-name-400-normal.woff2') format('woff2'),',
  url('/fonts/font-name-400-normal.svg#font-name') format('svg');',
}
`
// ... repeated for all styles and weights that were defined

CHANGELOG:

0.1.0

return classes and ids as well

0.2.0:

Added media queries

0.3.0:

returns a promise! no longer sync.
autoprefixer and postcss added

0.4.0:

supports @font-face declarations

0.4.1

added fontDir option to font-face declarations

0.4.2

update deps to fix security issues

0.4.3

added @keyframes for animations

0.4.4

css.parse now converts deep arrays into one object before parsing

0.4.5

css.stringify now makes a bit nicer mediaquery and keyframe lines.
css.parse should now order media queries to the end of the css

0.4.6

css.parse does a better job of keeping order of incoming objects intact

0.4.7

FIX: multiple parent selectors 'h1,h2,h3' that should get appended with a &:hover etc now correctly append the suffix to every parent
FEATURE: & can be at the end of a selector, in which case the selector gets prepended to it's parent.

FIX: css gets returned in almost the same order it got passed in. turns out that javascript objects do not make this as easy as hoped.
