# API Documentation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*Please use only this documented API when working with the parser. Methods
 | 
						|
not documented here are subject to change at any point.*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## `parser` function
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is the module's main entry point.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const parser = require('postcss-selector-parser');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `parser([transform], [options])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Creates a new `processor` instance
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const processor = parser();
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Or, with optional transform function
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const transform = selectors => {
 | 
						|
    selectors.walkUniversals(selector => {
 | 
						|
        selector.remove();
 | 
						|
    });
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const processor = parser(transform)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Example
 | 
						|
const result = processor.processSync('*.class');
 | 
						|
// => .class
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[See processor documentation](#processor)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `transform (function)`: Provide a function to work with the parsed AST.
 | 
						|
* `options (object)`: Provide default options for all calls on the returned `Processor`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `parser.attribute([props])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Creates a new attribute selector.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
parser.attribute({attribute: 'href'});
 | 
						|
// => [href]
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `props (object)`: The new node's properties.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `parser.className([props])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Creates a new class selector.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
parser.className({value: 'button'});
 | 
						|
// => .button
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `props (object)`: The new node's properties.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `parser.combinator([props])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Creates a new selector combinator.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
parser.combinator({value: '+'});
 | 
						|
// => +
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `props (object)`: The new node's properties.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Notes:
 | 
						|
* **Descendant Combinators** The value of descendant combinators created by the
 | 
						|
  parser always just a single space (`" "`). For descendant selectors with no
 | 
						|
  comments, additional space is now stored in `node.spaces.before`. Depending
 | 
						|
  on the location of comments, additional spaces may be stored in
 | 
						|
  `node.raws.spaces.before`, `node.raws.spaces.after`, or `node.raws.value`.
 | 
						|
* **Named Combinators** Although, nonstandard and unlikely to ever become a standard,
 | 
						|
  named combinators like `/deep/` and `/for/` are parsed as combinators. The
 | 
						|
  `node.value` is name after being unescaped and normalized as lowercase. The
 | 
						|
  original value for the combinator name is stored in `node.raws.value`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `parser.comment([props])`

## Node types
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `node.type`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A string representation of the selector type. It can be one of the following;
 | 
						|
`attribute`, `class`, `combinator`, `comment`, `id`, `nesting`, `pseudo`,
 | 
						|
`root`, `selector`, `string`, `tag`, or `universal`. Note that for convenience,
 | 
						|
these constants are exposed on the main `parser` as uppercased keys. So for
 | 
						|
example you can get `id` by querying `parser.ID`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
parser.attribute({attribute: 'href'}).type;
 | 
						|
// => 'attribute'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `node.parent`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns the parent node.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
root.nodes[0].parent === root;
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `node.toString()`, `String(node)`, or `'' + node`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns a string representation of the node.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const id = parser.id({value: 'search'});
 | 
						|
console.log(String(id));
 | 
						|
// => #search
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `node.next()` & `node.prev()`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns the next/previous child of the parent node.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const next = id.next();
 | 
						|
if (next && next.type !== 'combinator') {
 | 
						|
    throw new Error('Qualified IDs are not allowed!');
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `node.replaceWith(node)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Replace a node with another.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const attr = selectors.first.first;
 | 
						|
const className = parser.className({value: 'test'});
 | 
						|
attr.replaceWith(className);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `node`: The node to substitute the original with.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `node.remove()`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Removes the node from its parent node.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
if (node.type === 'id') {
 | 
						|
    node.remove();
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `node.clone([opts])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns a copy of a node, detached from any parent containers that the
 | 
						|
original might have had.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const cloned = node.clone();
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `node.isAtPosition(line, column)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Return a `boolean` indicating whether this node includes the character at the
 | 
						|
position of the given line and column. Returns `undefined` if the nodes lack
 | 
						|
sufficient source metadata to determine the position.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `line`: 1-index based line number relative to the start of the selector.
 | 
						|
* `column`: 1-index based column number relative to the start of the selector.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `node.spaces`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Extra whitespaces around the node will be moved into `node.spaces.before` and
 | 
						|
`node.spaces.after`. So for example, these spaces will be moved as they have
 | 
						|
no semantic meaning:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```css
 | 
						|
      h1     ,     h2   {}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For descendent selectors, the value is always a single space.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```css
 | 
						|
h1        h2 {}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Additional whitespace is found in either the `node.spaces.before` and `node.spaces.after` depending on the presence of comments or other whitespace characters. If the actual whitespace does not start or end with a single space, the node's raw value is set to the actual space(s) found in the source.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `node.source`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
An object describing the node's start/end, line/column source position.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Within the following CSS, the `.bar` class node ...
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```css
 | 
						|
.foo,
 | 
						|
  .bar {}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
... will contain the following `source` object.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
source: {
 | 
						|
    start: {
 | 
						|
        line: 2,
 | 
						|
        column: 3
 | 
						|
    },
 | 
						|
    end: {
 | 
						|
        line: 2,
 | 
						|
        column: 6
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `node.sourceIndex`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The zero-based index of the node within the original source string.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Within the following CSS, the `.baz` class node will have a `sourceIndex` of `12`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```css
 | 
						|
.foo, .bar, .baz {}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Container types
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The `root`, `selector`, and `pseudo` nodes have some helper methods for working
 | 
						|
with their children.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.nodes`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
An array of the container's children.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// Input: h1 h2
 | 
						|
selectors.at(0).nodes.length   // => 3
 | 
						|
selectors.at(0).nodes[0].value // => 'h1'
 | 
						|
selectors.at(0).nodes[1].value // => ' '
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.first` & `container.last`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The first/last child of the container.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
selector.first === selector.nodes[0];
 | 
						|
selector.last === selector.nodes[selector.nodes.length - 1];
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.at(index)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns the node at position `index`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
selector.at(0) === selector.first;
 | 
						|
selector.at(0) === selector.nodes[0];
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `index`: The index of the node to return.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.atPosition(line, column)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns the node at the source position `line` and `column`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// Input: :not(.foo),\n#foo > :matches(ol, ul)
 | 
						|
selector.atPosition(1, 1); // => :not(.foo)
 | 
						|
selector.atPosition(2, 1); // => \n#foo
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `line`: The line number of the node to return.
 | 
						|
* `column`: The column number of the node to return.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.index(node)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Return the index of the node within its container.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
selector.index(selector.nodes[2]) // => 2
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `node`: A node within the current container.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.length`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Proxy to the length of the container's nodes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
container.length === container.nodes.length
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container` Array iterators
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The container class provides proxies to certain Array methods; these are:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `container.map === container.nodes.map`
 | 
						|
* `container.reduce === container.nodes.reduce`
 | 
						|
* `container.every === container.nodes.every`
 | 
						|
* `container.some === container.nodes.some`
 | 
						|
* `container.filter === container.nodes.filter`
 | 
						|
* `container.sort === container.nodes.sort`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that these methods only work on a container's immediate children; recursive
 | 
						|
iteration is provided by `container.walk`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.each(callback)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Iterate the container's immediate children, calling `callback` for each child.
 | 
						|
You may return `false` within the callback to break the iteration.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
let className;
 | 
						|
selectors.each((selector, index) => {
 | 
						|
    if (selector.type === 'class') {
 | 
						|
        className = selector.value;
 | 
						|
        return false;
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that unlike `Array#forEach()`, this iterator is safe to use whilst adding
 | 
						|
or removing nodes from the container.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `callback (function)`: A function to call for each node, which receives `node`
 | 
						|
  and `index` arguments.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.walk(callback)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Like `container#each`, but will also iterate child nodes as long as they are
 | 
						|
`container` types.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
selectors.walk((selector, index) => {
 | 
						|
    // all nodes
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `callback (function)`: A function to call for each node, which receives `node`
 | 
						|
  and `index` arguments.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This iterator is safe to use whilst mutating `container.nodes`,
 | 
						|
like `container#each`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.walk` proxies
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The container class provides proxy methods for iterating over types of nodes,
 | 
						|
so that it is easier to write modules that target specific selectors. Those
 | 
						|
methods are:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `container.walkAttributes`
 | 
						|
* `container.walkClasses`
 | 
						|
* `container.walkCombinators`
 | 
						|
* `container.walkComments`
 | 
						|
* `container.walkIds`
 | 
						|
* `container.walkNesting`
 | 
						|
* `container.walkPseudos`
 | 
						|
* `container.walkTags`
 | 
						|
* `container.walkUniversals`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.split(callback)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This method allows you to split a group of nodes by returning `true` from
 | 
						|
a callback. It returns an array of arrays, where each inner array corresponds
 | 
						|
to the groups that you created via the callback.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// (input) => h1 h2>>h3
 | 
						|
const list = selectors.first.split(selector => {
 | 
						|
    return selector.type === 'combinator';
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// (node values) => [['h1', ' '], ['h2', '>>'], ['h3']]
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `callback (function)`: A function to call for each node, which receives `node`
 | 
						|
  as an argument.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.prepend(node)` & `container.append(node)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Add a node to the start/end of the container. Note that doing so will set
 | 
						|
the parent property of the node to this container.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const id = parser.id({value: 'search'});
 | 
						|
selector.append(id);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `node`: The node to add.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.insertBefore(old, new)` & `container.insertAfter(old, new)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Add a node before or after an existing node in a container:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
selectors.walk(selector => {
 | 
						|
    if (selector.type !== 'class') {
 | 
						|
        const className = parser.className({value: 'theme-name'});
 | 
						|
        selector.parent.insertAfter(selector, className);
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `old`: The existing node in the container.
 | 
						|
* `new`: The new node to add before/after the existing node.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.removeChild(node)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Remove the node from the container. Note that you can also use
 | 
						|
`node.remove()` if you would like to remove just a single node.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
selector.length // => 2
 | 
						|
selector.remove(id)
 | 
						|
selector.length // => 1;
 | 
						|
id.parent       // undefined
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `node`: The node to remove.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `container.removeAll()` or `container.empty()`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Remove all children from the container.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
selector.removeAll();
 | 
						|
selector.length // => 0
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Root nodes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A root node represents a comma separated list of selectors. Indeed, all
 | 
						|
a root's `toString()` method does is join its selector children with a ','.
 | 
						|
Other than this, it has no special functionality and acts like a container.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `root.trailingComma`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This will be set to `true` if the input has a trailing comma, in order to
 | 
						|
support parsing of legacy CSS hacks.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Selector nodes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A selector node represents a single complex selector. For example, this
 | 
						|
selector string `h1 h2 h3, [href] > p`, is represented as two selector nodes.
 | 
						|
It has no special functionality of its own.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Pseudo nodes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A pseudo selector extends a container node; if it has any parameters of its
 | 
						|
own (such as `h1:not(h2, h3)`), they will be its children. Note that the pseudo
 | 
						|
`value` will always contain the colons preceding the pseudo identifier. This
 | 
						|
is so that both `:before` and `::before` are properly represented in the AST.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Attribute nodes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `attribute.quoted`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns `true` if the attribute's value is wrapped in quotation marks, false if it is not.
 | 
						|
Remains `undefined` if there is no attribute value.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```css
 | 
						|
[href=foo] /* false */
 | 
						|
[href='foo'] /* true */
 | 
						|
[href="foo"] /* true */
 | 
						|
[href] /* undefined */
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `attribute.qualifiedAttribute`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns the attribute name qualified with the namespace if one is given.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `attribute.offsetOf(part)`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 Returns the offset of the attribute part specified relative to the
 | 
						|
 start of the node of the output string. This is useful in raising
 | 
						|
 error messages about a specific part of the attribute, especially
 | 
						|
 in combination with `attribute.sourceIndex`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 Returns `-1` if the name is invalid or the value doesn't exist in this
 | 
						|
 attribute.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 The legal values for `part` are:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * `"ns"` - alias for "namespace"
 | 
						|
 * `"namespace"` - the namespace if it exists.
 | 
						|
 * `"attribute"` - the attribute name
 | 
						|
 * `"attributeNS"` - the start of the attribute or its namespace
 | 
						|
 * `"operator"` - the match operator of the attribute
 | 
						|
 * `"value"` - The value (string or identifier)
 | 
						|
 * `"insensitive"` - the case insensitivity flag
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `attribute.raws.unquoted`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns the unquoted content of the attribute's value.
 | 
						|
Remains `undefined` if there is no attribute value.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```css
 | 
						|
[href=foo] /* foo */
 | 
						|
[href='foo'] /* foo */
 | 
						|
[href="foo"] /* foo */
 | 
						|
[href] /* undefined */
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `attribute.spaces`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Like `node.spaces` with the `before` and `after` values containing the spaces
 | 
						|
around the element, the parts of the attribute can also have spaces before
 | 
						|
and after them. The for each of `attribute`, `operator`, `value` and
 | 
						|
`insensitive` there is corresponding property of the same nam in
 | 
						|
`node.spaces` that has an optional `before` or `after` string containing only
 | 
						|
whitespace.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that corresponding values in `attributes.raws.spaces` contain values
 | 
						|
including any comments. If set, these values will override the
 | 
						|
`attribute.spaces` value. Take care to remove them if changing
 | 
						|
`attribute.spaces`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `attribute.raws`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The raws object stores comments and other information necessary to re-render
 | 
						|
the node exactly as it was in the source.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If a comment is embedded within the identifiers for the `namespace`, `attribute`
 | 
						|
or `value` then a property is placed in the raws for that value containing the full source of the propery including comments.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If a comment is embedded within the space between parts of the attribute
 | 
						|
then the raw for that space is set accordingly.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Setting an attribute's property `raws` value to be deleted.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For now, changing the spaces required also updating or removing any of the
 | 
						|
raws values that override them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example: `[ /*before*/ href /* after-attr */ = /* after-operator */ te/*inside-value*/st/* wow */ /*omg*/i/*bbq*/ /*whodoesthis*/]` would parse as:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  attribute: "href",
 | 
						|
  operator: "=",
 | 
						|
  value: "test",
 | 
						|
  spaces: {
 | 
						|
    before: '',
 | 
						|
    after: '',
 | 
						|
    attribute: { before: '  ', after: '  ' },
 | 
						|
    operator: { after: '  ' },
 | 
						|
    value: { after: ' ' },
 | 
						|
    insensitive: { after: ' ' }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  raws: {
 | 
						|
    spaces: {
 | 
						|
      attribute: { before: ' /*before*/ ', after: ' /* after-attr */ ' },
 | 
						|
      operator: { after: ' /* after-operator */ ' },
 | 
						|
      value: { after: '/* wow */ /*omg*/' },
 | 
						|
      insensitive: { after: '/*bbq*/ /*whodoesthis*/' }
 | 
						|
    },
 | 
						|
    unquoted: 'test',
 | 
						|
    value: 'te/*inside-value*/st'
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## `Processor`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `ProcessorOptions`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `lossless` - When `true`, whitespace is preserved. Defaults to `true`.
 | 
						|
* `updateSelector` - When `true`, if any processor methods are passed a postcss
 | 
						|
  `Rule` node instead of a string, then that Rule's selector is updated
 | 
						|
  with the results of the processing. Defaults to `true`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `process|processSync(selectors, [options])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Processes the `selectors`, returning a string from the result of processing.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note: when the `updateSelector` option is set, the rule's selector
 | 
						|
will be updated with the resulting string.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Example:**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const parser = require("postcss-selector-parser");
 | 
						|
const processor = parser();
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
let result = processor.processSync(' .class');
 | 
						|
console.log(result);
 | 
						|
// =>  .class
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Asynchronous operation
 | 
						|
let promise = processor.process(' .class').then(result => {
 | 
						|
    console.log(result)
 | 
						|
    // => .class
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// To have the parser normalize whitespace values, utilize the options
 | 
						|
result = processor.processSync('  .class  ', {lossless: false});
 | 
						|
console.log(result);
 | 
						|
// => .class
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// For better syntax errors, pass a PostCSS Rule node.
 | 
						|
const postcss = require('postcss');
 | 
						|
rule = postcss.rule({selector: ' #foo    > a,  .class  '});
 | 
						|
processor.process(rule, {lossless: false, updateSelector: true}).then(result => {
 | 
						|
    console.log(result);
 | 
						|
    // => #foo>a,.class
 | 
						|
    console.log("rule:", rule.selector);
 | 
						|
    // => rule: #foo>a,.class
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Arguments:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `selectors (string|postcss.Rule)`: Either a selector string or a PostCSS Rule
 | 
						|
  node.
 | 
						|
* `[options] (object)`: Process options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `ast|astSync(selectors, [options])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Like `process()` and `processSync()` but after
 | 
						|
processing the `selectors` these methods return the `Root` node of the result
 | 
						|
instead of a string.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note: when the `updateSelector` option is set, the rule's selector
 | 
						|
will be updated with the resulting string.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `transform|transformSync(selectors, [options])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Like `process()` and `processSync()` but after
 | 
						|
processing the `selectors` these methods return the value returned by the
 | 
						|
processor callback.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note: when the `updateSelector` option is set, the rule's selector
 | 
						|
will be updated with the resulting string.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Error Handling Within Selector Processors
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The root node passed to the selector processor callback
 | 
						|
has a method `error(message, options)` that returns an
 | 
						|
error object. This method should always be used to raise
 | 
						|
errors relating to the syntax of selectors. The options
 | 
						|
to this method are passed to postcss's error constructor
 | 
						|
([documentation](http://postcss.org/api/#container-error)).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Async Error Example
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
let processor = (root) => {
 | 
						|
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
 | 
						|
        root.walkClasses((classNode) => {
 | 
						|
            if (/^(.*)[-_]/.test(classNode.value)) {
 | 
						|
                let msg = "classes may not have underscores or dashes in them";
 | 
						|
                reject(root.error(msg, {
 | 
						|
                    index: classNode.sourceIndex + RegExp.$1.length + 1,
 | 
						|
                    word: classNode.value
 | 
						|
                }));
 | 
						|
            }
 | 
						|
        });
 | 
						|
        resolve();
 | 
						|
    });
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const postcss = require("postcss");
 | 
						|
const parser = require("postcss-selector-parser");
 | 
						|
const selectorProcessor = parser(processor);
 | 
						|
const plugin = postcss.plugin('classValidator', (options) => {
 | 
						|
    return (root) => {
 | 
						|
        let promises = [];
 | 
						|
        root.walkRules(rule => {
 | 
						|
            promises.push(selectorProcessor.process(rule));
 | 
						|
        });
 | 
						|
        return Promise.all(promises);
 | 
						|
    };
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
postcss(plugin()).process(`
 | 
						|
.foo-bar {
 | 
						|
  color: red;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
`.trim(), {from: 'test.css'}).catch((e) => console.error(e.toString()));
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// CssSyntaxError: classValidator: ./test.css:1:5: classes may not have underscores or dashes in them
 | 
						|
//
 | 
						|
// > 1 | .foo-bar {
 | 
						|
//     |     ^
 |
