## Node types
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `node.type`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A string representation of the selector type. It can be one of the following;
|
||
|
|
`attribute`, `class`, `combinator`, `comment`, `id`, `nesting`, `pseudo`,
|
||
|
|
`root`, `selector`, `string`, `tag`, or `universal`. Note that for convenience,
|
||
|
|
these constants are exposed on the main `parser` as uppercased keys. So for
|
||
|
|
example you can get `id` by querying `parser.ID`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
parser.attribute({attribute: 'href'}).type;
|
||
|
|
// => 'attribute'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `node.parent`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns the parent node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
root.nodes[0].parent === root;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `node.toString()`, `String(node)`, or `'' + node`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns a string representation of the node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var id = parser.id({value: 'search'});
|
||
|
|
console.log(String(id));
|
||
|
|
// => #search
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `node.next()` & `node.prev()`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns the next/previous child of the parent node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var next = id.next();
|
||
|
|
if (next && next.type !== 'combinator') {
|
||
|
|
throw new Error('Qualified IDs are not allowed!');
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `node.replaceWith(node)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Replace a node with another.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var attr = selectors.first.first;
|
||
|
|
var className = parser.className({value: 'test'});
|
||
|
|
attr.replaceWith(className);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `node`: The node to substitute the original with.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `node.remove()`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Removes the node from its parent node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
if (node.type === 'id') {
|
||
|
|
node.remove();
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `node.clone()`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns a copy of a node, detached from any parent containers that the
|
||
|
|
original might have had.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var cloned = parser.id({value: 'search'});
|
||
|
|
String(cloned);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// => #search
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `node.spaces`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Extra whitespaces around the node will be moved into `node.spaces.before` and
|
||
|
|
`node.spaces.after`. So for example, these spaces will be moved as they have
|
||
|
|
no semantic meaning:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
h1 , h2 {}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, *combinating* spaces will form a `combinator` node:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
h1 h2 {}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A `combinator` node may only have the `spaces` property set if the combinator
|
||
|
|
value is a non-whitespace character, such as `+`, `~` or `>`. Otherwise, the
|
||
|
|
combinator value will contain all of the spaces between selectors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `node.source`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An object describing the node's start/end, line/column source position.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Within the following CSS, the `.bar` class node ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
.foo,
|
||
|
|
.bar {}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
... will contain the following `source` object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
source: {
|
||
|
|
start: {
|
||
|
|
line: 2,
|
||
|
|
column: 3
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
end: {
|
||
|
|
line: 2,
|
||
|
|
column: 6
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `node.sourceIndex`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The zero-based index of the node within the original source string.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Within the following CSS, the `.baz` class node will have a `sourceIndex` of `12`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
.foo, .bar, .baz {}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Container types
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `root`, `selector`, and `pseudo` nodes have some helper methods for working
|
||
|
|
with their children.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.nodes`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An array of the container's children.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
// Input: h1 h2
|
||
|
|
selectors.at(0).nodes.length // => 3
|
||
|
|
selectors.at(0).nodes[0].value // => 'h1'
|
||
|
|
selectors.at(0).nodes[1].value // => ' '
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.first` & `container.last`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first/last child of the container.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
selector.first === selector.nodes[0];
|
||
|
|
selector.last === selector.nodes[selector.nodes.length - 1];
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.at(index)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns the node at position `index`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
selector.at(0) === selector.first;
|
||
|
|
selector.at(0) === selector.nodes[0];
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `index`: The index of the node to return.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.index(node)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Return the index of the node within its container.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
selector.index(selector.nodes[2]) // => 2
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `node`: A node within the current container.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.length`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Proxy to the length of the container's nodes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
container.length === container.nodes.length
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container` Array iterators
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The container class provides proxies to certain Array methods; these are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `container.map === container.nodes.map`
|
||
|
|
* `container.reduce === container.nodes.reduce`
|
||
|
|
* `container.every === container.nodes.every`
|
||
|
|
* `container.some === container.nodes.some`
|
||
|
|
* `container.filter === container.nodes.filter`
|
||
|
|
* `container.sort === container.nodes.sort`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that these methods only work on a container's immediate children; recursive
|
||
|
|
iteration is provided by `container.walk`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.each(callback)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Iterate the container's immediate children, calling `callback` for each child.
|
||
|
|
You may return `false` within the callback to break the iteration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var className;
|
||
|
|
selectors.each(function (selector, index) {
|
||
|
|
if (selector.type === 'class') {
|
||
|
|
className = selector.value;
|
||
|
|
return false;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that unlike `Array#forEach()`, this iterator is safe to use whilst adding
|
||
|
|
or removing nodes from the container.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `callback (function)`: A function to call for each node, which receives `node`
|
||
|
|
and `index` arguments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.walk(callback)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Like `container#each`, but will also iterate child nodes as long as they are
|
||
|
|
`container` types.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
selectors.walk(function (selector, index) {
|
||
|
|
// all nodes
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `callback (function)`: A function to call for each node, which receives `node`
|
||
|
|
and `index` arguments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This iterator is safe to use whilst mutating `container.nodes`,
|
||
|
|
like `container#each`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.walk` proxies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The container class provides proxy methods for iterating over types of nodes,
|
||
|
|
so that it is easier to write modules that target specific selectors. Those
|
||
|
|
methods are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `container.walkAttributes`
|
||
|
|
* `container.walkClasses`
|
||
|
|
* `container.walkCombinators`
|
||
|
|
* `container.walkComments`
|
||

### `container.split(callback)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This method allows you to split a group of nodes by returning `true` from
|
||
|
|
a callback. It returns an array of arrays, where each inner array corresponds
|
||
|
|
to the groups that you created via the callback.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
// (input) => h1 h2>>h3
|
||
|
|
var list = selectors.first.split((selector) => {
|
||
|
|
return selector.type === 'combinator';
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// (node values) => [['h1', ' '], ['h2', '>>'], ['h3']]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `callback (function)`: A function to call for each node, which receives `node`
|
||
|
|
as an argument.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.prepend(node)` & `container.append(node)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add a node to the start/end of the container. Note that doing so will set
|
||
|
|
the parent property of the node to this container.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var id = parser.id({value: 'search'});
|
||
|
|
selector.append(id);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `node`: The node to add.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.insertBefore(old, new)` & `container.insertAfter(old, new)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add a node before or after an existing node in a container:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
selectors.walk(function (selector) {
|
||
|
|
if (selector.type !== 'class') {
|
||
|
|
var className = parser.className({value: 'theme-name'});
|
||
|
|
selector.parent.insertAfter(selector, className);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `old`: The existing node in the container.
|
||
|
|
* `new`: The new node to add before/after the existing node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.removeChild(node)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remove the node from the container. Note that you can also use
|
||
|
|
`node.remove()` if you would like to remove just a single node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
selector.length // => 2
|
||
|
|
selector.remove(id)
|
||
|
|
selector.length // => 1;
|
||
|
|
id.parent // undefined
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `node`: The node to remove.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `container.removeAll()` or `container.empty()`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remove all children from the container.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
selector.removeAll();
|
||
|
|
selector.length // => 0
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Root nodes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A root node represents a comma separated list of selectors. Indeed, all
|
||
|
|
a root's `toString()` method does is join its selector children with a ','.
|
||
|
|
Other than this, it has no special functionality and acts like a container.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `root.trailingComma`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will be set to `true` if the input has a trailing comma, in order to
|
||
|
|
support parsing of legacy CSS hacks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Selector nodes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A selector node represents a single compound selector. For example, this
|
||
|
|
selector string `h1 h2 h3, [href] > p`, is represented as two selector nodes.
|
||
|
|
It has no special functionality of its own.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Pseudo nodes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A pseudo selector extends a container node; if it has any parameters of its
|
||
|
|
own (such as `h1:not(h2, h3)`), they will be its children. Note that the pseudo
|
||
|
|
`value` will always contain the colons preceding the pseudo identifier. This
|
||
|
|
is so that both `:before` and `::before` are properly represented in the AST.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Attribute nodes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `attribute.quoted`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns `true` if the attribute's value is wrapped in quotation marks, false if it is not.
|
||
|
|
Remains `undefined` if there is no attribute value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
[href=foo] /* false */
|
||
|
|
[href='foo'] /* true */
|
||
|
|
[href="foo"] /* true */
|
||
|
|
[href] /* undefined */
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `attribute.raws.unquoted`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns the unquoted content of the attribute's value.
|
||
|
|
Remains `undefined` if there is no attribute value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
[href=foo] /* foo */
|
||
|
|
[href='foo'] /* foo */
|
||
|
|
[href="foo"] /* foo */
|
||
|
|
[href] /* undefined */
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `attribute.raws.insensitive`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there is an `i` specifying case insensitivity, returns that `i` along with the whitespace
|
||
|
|
around it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
[id=Bar i ] /* " i " */
|
||
|
|
[id=Bar i ] /* " i " */
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## `processor`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `process(cssText, [options])`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Processes the `cssText`, returning the parsed output
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var processor = parser();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var result = processor.process(' .class').result;
|
||
|
|
// => .class
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// To have the parser normalize whitespace values, utilize the options
|
||
|
|
var result = processor.process(' .class ', {lossless: false}).result;
|
||
|
|
// => .class
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `cssText (string)`: The css to be parsed.
|
||
|
|
* `[options] (object)`: Process options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `lossless (boolean)`: false to normalize the selector whitespace, defaults to true
|
