rewrite-css-urls

This module is used to assist with rewriting URLs inside CSS code. It looks for URL patterns and provides convenience functions for replacing the URLs that were found.

To reduce complexity and code size, this utility does not use a fully CSS-compliant parser. In fact, the parser simply uses a couple of regular expressions and ignores comment blocks.

This utility searches for url(*) and @import "*" patterns specifically.

Installation

npm install rewrite-css-urls --save

Usage

Find

require('rewrite-css-urls').find(cssCode, function(urlRef) {
    console.log('Found URL: ' + urlRef.url);

    replaceUrl: function(urlRef) {
        return urlRef.url.replace('blah.com', 'mycompany.com');
    }
});
