crete

crete - Simple CSS ruleset generation from a JavaScript object

This generates a CSS ruleset from an object of the form:

var ruleset = {
  sel: 'body',
  'background-color': '#eee',
  color: '#111'
}

The input isn't escaped, and thus this isn't recommended for generating CSS for user input. It was created to make it slightly easier to build pages in requirebin.

To install:

npm install crete --save

The module is just one function. To use:

var crete = require('crete')
console.log(crete(ruleset))

This will output the following:

body {
background-color: #eee;
color: #111;
}

It returns rulesets with a newline at the end, so the returned CSS can be joined together without newlines, as below:

var css = [
  {sel: '*', 'font-family': 'Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif'},
  {sel: 'h1, h2, h3', color: 'purple'}
].map(crete).join('')

It runs on modern browsers with a CommonJS build tool like browserify and should run with old versions of IE if Object.keys and Array.prototype.shim are shimmed.
