csspool version 0.2.0 has been released!

Wednesday, 28 November 2007 @ 10:42pm • life

CSSpool (pronounced "cesspool") is a validating SAC parser for CSS. The parser
calls methods on a document handler depending on what it has found. CSSPool
currently only supports CSS 2.1. CSSPool will not yield invalid properties or
selectors.

Changes:

## 0.2.0

  • Added CSS::SAC::Parser#parse_rule to parse a single rule.
  • Added CSS::StyleSheet#find_rule for finding a particular rule.
  • Added CSS::StyleSheet#rules_matching for finding all rules matching a node.
  • Added CSS::StyleSheet#create_rule for creating a new rule.
  • Added CSS::StyleSheet#findallrules_matching for finding all rules that match
    any node in the passed in document.
  • Added .eql? to selector AST
  • Added .hash to selector AST
  • Added .eql? to LexicalUnits
  • Added .hash to LexicalUnits
  • Added CSS::StyleSheet#to_css
  • Added CSS::StyleSheet#reduce!

  • CSS::StyleSheet is now the default document handler

csspool version 0.1.1 has been released!

CSSpool (pronounced "cesspool") is a validating SAC parser for CSS. The parser
calls methods on a document handler depending on what it has found. CSSPool
currently only supports CSS 2.1. CSSPool will not yield invalid properties or
selectors.

Changes:

## 0.1.1

  • Added specificity to selectors.
  • Added == to selector ASTs.
  • Added =~ to selector ASTs. The object passed in to =~ must quack like an
    hpricot node. It must implement the following methods: name, parent, child,
    next_sibling, attributes.
  • Added .to_xpath to the selector AST.

  • Fixed a bug where functions as pseudo classes didn't parse.

More CSSPool Fun

Thursday, 15 November 2007 @ 1:08am • computadora, csspool

I just finished up a matching method on CSSPool. So you can pass an hpricot node to a selector AST, and determine whether the node matches or not.

Lets say for example that you had an html document and a css document, and you wanted to know what selectors matched a given hpricot node, you could do something like this:

class DH < CSS::SAC::DocumentHandler
  def initialize(node)
    @node = node
  end
  def start_selector(selectors)
    selectors.each { |sel| p sel if sel =~ @node }
  end
end
parser = CSS::SAC::Parser.new(DH.new(some_hpricot_node))
parser.parse(File.read(ARGV[0]))

I think I will probably release what I have in trunk soon. I will probably add a new document handler for 0.2.0 that collects all selectors and properties together, and give a nice interface for finding styles that apply to an hpricot node.

I forgot to mention. I am going to give a presentation at RejectConf tonight, and here are the slides.

See the CSSPool and Hpricot integration after the jump.

CSSPool released

Saturday, 3 November 2007 @ 11:30am • computadora

I just released csspool version 0.1.0 last night, so I thought I'd write a little about it.

CSSPool is a CSS SAC parser. Basically it parses a CSS document calling methods on a document handler object. The parser will send the document handler lots of information about the CSS, like the selectors and properties. The selectors you get are ASTs, and implement .to_css methods so you can get back css.

Here is a quick example:

require 'css/sac/parser'

class SimpleDocHandler < CSS::SAC::DocumentHandler
  def start_selector(selectors)
    p selectors.map { |sel| sel.to_css }.join(', ')
  end

  def property(name, value, important)
    puts "#{name}: #{value} #{important ? '!important' : ''}".strip
  end
end

csspool = CSS::SAC::Parser.new(SimpleDocHandler.new)
csspool.parse(File.read(ARGV[0]))
