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.

parser.attribute({attribute: 'href'}).type;
// => 'attribute'

node.parent

Returns the parent node.

root.nodes[0].parent === root;

node.toString(), String(node), or '' + node

Returns a string representation of the node.

var id = parser.id({value: 'search'});
console.log(String(id));
// => #search

node.next() & node.prev()

Returns the next/previous child of the parent node.

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.

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.

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.

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:

      h1     ,     h2   {}

However, combinating spaces will form a combinator node:

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 ...

.foo,
  .bar {}

... will contain the following source object.

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.

.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.

// 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.

selector.first === selector.nodes[0];
selector.last === selector.nodes[selector.nodes.length - 1];

container.at(index)

Returns the node at position index.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.walkIds
• container.walkNesting
• container.walkPseudos
• container.walkTags
• container.walkUniversals

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.

// (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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

[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.

[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.

[id=Bar i ] /* " i " */
[id=Bar   i  ] /* "   i  " */

processor

process(cssText, [options])

Processes the cssText, returning the parsed output

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
