# style-search [](https://circleci.com/gh/davidtheclark/style-search)
|
|
|
|
Search CSS (and CSS-like) strings, with sensitivity to whether matches occur inside strings, comments, and functions.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
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](https://github.com/postcss/postcss), [`postcss-selector-parser`](https://github.com/postcss/postcss-selector-parser), and [`postcss-value-parser`](https://github.com/TrySound/postcss-value-parser).
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
/* Here is some pink */
|
|
a { color: pink; }
|
|
a::before { content: "pink" }
|
|
b { color: shadesOfPink(7); }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
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 begins
|
|
- `endIndex`: where the match ends
|
|
- `target`: what got matched (useful if your `target` option is an array instead of a single string)
|
|
- `insideFunctionArguments`: whether the match is inside a function — *this includes the parentheses around the arguments*
|
|
- `insideComment`: whether the match is inside a comment
|
|
- `insideString`: 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`.
