csssearch

This library uses postcss and fuse.js to parse and create a search function, given a CSS stylesheet.

It's intended to be used to create UIs to search for styles in utility libraries such as tachyons, tailwindcss, etc...

csssearch is not / does not include:

• An ajax solution to load stylesheets from URLs
• A filesystem solution to load stylesheets from the file system
• A super web-optimized library (although it might be a nice-to-have addition in the future)
• A parser that is guaranteed to understand SCSS input (or any other CSS flavour).

csssearch is:

• A library that works both in node and in a web browser
• A searcher that matches class names, property names and property values inside a stylesheet.

Usage

In Node

let cssSearch = require("path/to/csssearch.js");

let cssString = `
    .color-red { color: red; }
    .color-green { color: green; }
`;

let search = cssSearch(cssString);

let result = search("red");

console.log(result); /*
[
    {
        selector: '.color-red',
        props: [ { prop: 'color', value: 'red' } ],
        mediaQuery: null
    },
]
*/

In the browser

Load dist/csssearch.js in your website, and call the css search function like you would in node.

let search = cssSearch(cssString);

let result = search("red");
