style-search
Search CSS (and CSS-like) strings, with sensitivity to whether matches occur inside strings, comments, and functions.
Usage
var styleSearch = require('style-search');
styleSearch(options, callback);
By default, the search ignores strings, comments, and
function names. You can use the options to change this behavior
or introduce other restrictions. That is what makes this module more
useful for many searches than indexOf()
or a
RegExp
.
However, if you need more detailed parsing, you should consider using
the real parsers PostCSS, postcss-selector-parser
,
and postcss-value-parser
.
Example
/* Here is some pink */
color: pink; }
a { ::before { content: "pink" }
acolor: shadesOfPink(7); } b {
styleSearch({
source: theCssStringAbove,
target: "pink",
, function(match, count) {
}/* Only the "pink" in `color: pink` will be
reported as a match */
; })
Reporting matches
For every match found your callback
is invoked. It is
passed two arguments:
- A
match
object with the following properties:startIndex
: where the match beginsendIndex
: where the match endstarget
: what got matched (useful if yourtarget
option is an array instead of a single string)insideFunctionArguments
: whether the match is inside a function — this includes the parentheses around the argumentsinsideComment
: whether the match is inside a commentinsideString
: whether the match is inside a string
- The count of how many matches have been found up to this point.
Options
Below you’ll see that syntax feature options all accept three
keywords: "skip"
, "check"
,
"only"
. An error will be thrown if you use
"only"
more than once.
source
String. Required.
The source string to search through.
target
String or array of strings. Required.
The target of the search. Can be - a single character - a string with
some length - an array of strings, all of which count as matches (the
match
object passed to the callback
will
differentiate which string in the array got matched via its
target
property)
once
Boolean. Default: false
.
If true
, the search will stop after one match is
found.
comments
"skip"
| "check"
| "only"
.
Default: "skip"
.
This includes both standard /* CSS comments */
and
non-standard but widely used // single line comments
.
strings
"skip"
| "check"
| "only"
.
Default: "skip"
.
functionNames
"skip"
| "check"
| "only"
.
Default: "skip"
.
functionArguments
"skip"
| "check"
| "only"
.
Default: "check"
.
parentheticals
"skip"
| "check"
| "only"
.
Default: "check"
.
This designates anything inside parentheses, which includes standard
functions, but also Sass maps and other non-standard constructs.
parentheticals
is a broader category than
functionArguments
.
