css-query v1.0.0-fix

css-query

A simple parser that allows querying of CSS values in a stylesheet.

Why?

I needed to parse values off a CSS stylesheet in a personal project, so I created this because I didn't find anything that did this.

Example

Warning:
Currently it's only possible to query for a selector that's actually present in the CSS since there isn't any matching functionality present yet.

That's why a random selector like html body #foo.active:hover isn't going to work if you don't specifically define a selector like that.

style.css:

#foo {
	color: red;
	font-size: 20px;
}

#foo.active {
	color: green !important;
}

index.js:

const cssQuery = require('css-query');

cssQuery.forFile('style.css')
	.then(query => {
		const color = query.query({
			selector: '#foo.active',
			property: 'color'
		}).value

		console.log(`The element's color is: ${color}`)
	})

Output:

The element's color is: green

To do

I won't be actively working on this, but there's still some stuff that should get added to this over time.

• Getting this to work with @media queries
• Generic selector matching, so that it's less like selecting the key from a JSON and more like "I have 'span.foo', which styles do I get for it in this stylesheet?"

Contributing

I'll gladly appreciate any contribution on this package!
