About

css-node is a zero dependency highly extendable object oriented css pre-processor that uses valid javascript to construct css.

The goal of css-node is to create a nodejs based css pre-processor that is only limited by the capabilities of the nodejs javascript implementation and not confined to the limitations of it's own api.

Installation

npm

$ npm install css-node

git

$ git clone https://github.com/angeal185/css-node.git

Index

Setup

nodejs setup API

const { init } = require('css-node')

// build initial project setup ~ should only be called once
init()
const { build, watch } = require('css-node')

// watch files listed at config.watch.files
watch(function(file, stats){
  console.log(file); // log change detected file path
  console.log(stats); // log file stats

  // watch files listed at config.watch.files
  build(function(err, css){
    if(err){return console.log(err)}
    console.log(css) // compiled css
  })

})

command line only

commands valid within css-node dir

init app

$ npm run init

build css

$ npm run build

watch files and build on change

$ npm run watch

Index

Starters

css-node starters are css files that have been converted to js for use in includes.

the starters could also be used as a basic reference for code format

css-node currently has starter include files for the following frameworks:

Index

Rules

  • single quotes should only ever be used within double quoted strings

Index

Config

  • the config file should be named ncss and be within your working dir
  • the config file can be in the format of either .js or .json
  • config values are constant throughout the execution of css-node

json example:

// ./ncss.json
{
  "dest": "/ncss/dist/app.min.css", //
  "globals": "/ncss/globals", // false || globals require path relative to cwd
  "mixins": "/ncss/mixins", // false || mixins require path relative to cwd
  "helpers": "/ncss/helpers", // false || helpers require path relative to cwd
  "sort_order": false, // sort css entries
  "sort_properties": false, // sort css entries properties
  "write_file": false, // callback css only if false
  "verbose": false, // print result to console
  "imports": [ // imports prepended to css file and in order of output
    "imported.css"
  ],
  "includes": [ // css imports path relative to cwd and in order of output
    "/ncss/includes/index.js"
  ],
  "watch": {
    "delay": 0, // watch delay response in ms
    "interval": 5007, // watch interval
    "files": [ // files to watch
      "/ncss/includes/index.js"
    ]
  }
}

js example:

// ./ncss.js
const config = {
  "dest": "/ncss/dist/app.min.css", // build file
  "globals": "/ncss/globals", // false || globals require path relative to cwd
  "mixins": "/ncss/mixins", // false || mixins require path relative to cwd
  "helpers": "/ncss/helpers", // false || helpers require path relative to cwd
  "sort_order": false, // sort css entries
  "sort_properties": false, // sort css entries properties
  "write_file": false, // callback css only if false
  "verbose": false, // print result to console
  "imports": [ // imports prepended to css file and in order of output
    "imported.css"
  ],
  "includes": [ // css imports path relative to cwd and in order of output
    "/ncss/includes/index.js"
  ],
  "watch": {
    "delay": 0, // watch delay response in ms
    "interval": 5007, // watch interval
    "files": [ // files to watch
      "/ncss/includes/index.js"
    ]
  }
}

module.exports = config

Index

Imports

  • imports inclided in your config file at config.imports will automatically be included in your final build.
/* imports:["example.css","example2.css"] */

@import "example.css";@import "example2.css";

Index

Includes

within your includes is where your css is constructed. There is no limitation to what you can or cannot do using javascript to build your css, so long as the object exported, once executed, can be stringified into valid json.

  • includes files have global access to globals, helpers and mixins
  • you can require and use external modules from within any includes file

for example

// include ~ "/ncss/includes/index.js"

let css = {
  body: {
    background: function(){
      return "black"
    },
    color: "#fff",
    "line-height": 0
  }
}

let arr = [];
for (let i = 1; i < 13; i++) {
  arr.push(".col-"+ i);
  css[".col-"+ i] = {
    "width": ((i/12) * 100).toString().slice(0,7) + "%"
  }
}

css[arr.toString()] = {
  "-ms-flex": "none",
  flex: "none"
}

module.exports = css;

will produce

body {
  background: black;
  color: #fff;
  line-height: 0
}

.col-1 {
  width: 8.33333%
}

.col-2 {
  width: 16.6666%
}

.col-3 {
  width: 25%
}

.col-4 {
  width: 33.3333%
}

.col-5 {
  width: 41.6666%
}

.col-6 {
  width: 50%
}

.col-7 {
  width: 58.3333%
}

.col-8 {
  width: 66.6666%
}

.col-9 {
  width: 75%
}

.col-10 {
  width: 83.3333%
}

.col-11 {
  width: 91.6666%
}

.col-12 {
  width: 100%
}

.col-1, .col-2, .col-3, .col-4, .col-5, .col-6, .col-7, .col-8, .col-9, .col-10, .col-11, .col-12 {
  -ms-flex: none;
  flex: none
}

Globals

the globals object is where you keep an object congaing variables that are available globally throughout css-node

  • the g character is reserved for calling globals
  • includes files, helpers and mixins have access to globals
  • the globals file can be in the format of either .js or .json
  • the globals file path can be edited at config.globals
  • you can require and use external modules from within your globals file
// /ncss/globals/index.js

module.exports = {
  primary: "#333",
  font_family: "-apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif",
  extend: require('some/extra/globals')
}
// include ~ /ncss/includes/index.js

let css = {
  "body": {
    "color": "#3b4351",
    "background": g.primary,
    "font-family": g.font_family,
  }
}

module.exports = css;

will produce

body {
  color: #3b4351;
  background: #333;
  font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif
}

Index

Mixins

  • the m character is reserved for calling mixins
  • mixins can be called from within includes files
  • mixins can called from within mixins
  • mixins have access to helpers and globals (h,g)
  • the mixins file path can be edited at config.mixins
  • set config.mixins to false to disable a mixins file
  • set config.mixins to a require /file/path relative to your cwd to enable your mixins
  • you can require and use external modules from within your mixins file
  • you can require and use other mixin files from within your mixins file
// /ncss/mixins/index.js

module.exports = {
  text_size: function(obj, x){
    return Object.assign(obj, {
      "-webkit-text-size-adjust": x +"%",
      "-ms-text-size-adjust": x +"%"
    })
  }
}
// include ~ /ncss/includes/index.js

let css = {
  html: m.text_size({"font-family": "sans-serif"}, 100)
}

module.exports = css;

will produce

html {
  font-family:sans-serif;
  -ms-text-size-adjust:100%;
  -webkit-text-size-adjust:100%
}

Index

Helpers

  • the h character is reserved for calling helpers
  • css-node has a built in list of helpers that is easily extendable.
  • helpers can be called from within includes files and mixins
  • helpers have access to globals (g)
  • the helpers extend file path can be edited/disabled at config.helpers
  • set config.helpers to false to disable a custom helpers file
  • set config.helpers to a require /file/path relative to your cwd to enable your custom helpers
  • you can require and use external modules from within your custom helpers file
  • you can require and use extra helper files from within your custom helpers file
  • you can replace any existing css-node base helper from within your custom helpers file

extra helpers can be added to the config.helpers file like so

// /ncss/helpers/index.js

module.exports = {
  rgb2hex(rgb) {
    let sep = rgb.indexOf(",") > -1 ? "," : " ";
    rgb = rgb.substr(4).split(")")[0].split(sep);

    let rh = (+rgb[0]).toString(16),
    gh = (+rgb[1]).toString(16),
    bh = (+rgb[2]).toString(16);

    if (rh.length == 1){
      rh = "0" + rh;
    }
    if (gh.length == 1){
      gh = "0" + gh;
    }
    if (bh.length == 1){
      bh = "0" + bh;
    }
    return "#" + rh + gh + bh;
  }
}
// include ~ base.js

let css = {
  body: {
    color: h.rgb2hex("rgb(255, 255, 255)"),
    background: h.rgba2hex("rgba(103, 58, 183, 0.91)")
  }
}

module.exports = css;

will produce
