cssauron
build a matching function in CSS for any nested object structure!
var language = tag: 'tagName' contents: 'innerText' id: 'id' class: 'className' parent: 'parentNode' children: 'childNodes' attr: 'getAttribute(attr)' var selector = element = document0 if // element matches selector else // element does not match selector
It's easy to use with your favorite nested tree structures! Delicious with HTML! Digestable with JSON!

require('cssauron')(options) -> selector factory
Import cssauron
and configure it for the nested object structure you'll
want to match against.
options
options
are an object hash of lookup type to string attribute or function(node)
lookups for queried
nodes. You only need to provide the configuration necessary for the selectors you're planning on creating.
(If you're not going to use #id
lookups, there's no need to provide the id
lookup in your options.)
tag
: Extract tag information from a node fordiv
style selectors.contents
: Extract text information from a node, for:contains(xxx)
selectors.id
: Extract id for#my_sweet_id
selectors.class
:.class_name
parent
: Used to traverse up from the current node, for composite selectorsbody #wrapper
,body > #wrapper
.children
: Used to traverse from a parent to its children for sibling selectorsdiv + span
,a ~ p
.attr
: Used to extract attribute information, for[attr=thing]
style selectors.
selector_factory('some selector') -> match function
Compiles a matching function.
match(node) -> false | node | [subjects, ...]
Returns false if the provided node does not match the selector. Returns truthy if the provided node does match. Exact return value is determined by the selector, based on the CSS4 subject selector spec: if only a single node is matched, only that node is returned. If multiple subjects are matched, a deduplicated array of those subjects are returned.
For example, given the following HTML (and cssauron-html
):
Checking the following selectors against the span.jake-busey
element yields:
#gary-busey
:false
, no match.#gary-busey *
:span.jake-busey
, a single match.!#gary-busey *
:div#gary-busey
, a single match using the!
subject selector.#gary-busey *, p span
:span.jake-busey
, a single match, though both selectors match.#gary-busey !* !*, !p > !span
:[p, span.jake-busey]
, two matches.

[attr=value]
: Exact match[attr]
: Attribute exists and is not false-y.[attr$=value]
: Attribute ends with value[attr^=value]
: Attribute starts with value[attr*=value]
: Attribute contains value[attr~=value]
: Attribute, split by whitespace, contains value.[attr|=value]
: Attribute, split by-
, contains value.
