DESCRIPTION

INTERFACE

Constructor

new

  my $selector_string = 'div.index li.new';
  my $style = CSS::Tiny::Style->new($selector_string);

Returns a new CSS::Tiny::Style object

Using with CSS::Tiny

CSS::Tiny::Styles provides two additional methods to CSS::Tiny, making it possible to generate CSS::Tiny::Styles on the fly by parsing a stylesheet like this:

    $css = CSS::Tiny->read( 'stylesheet.css' );

CSS::Tiny->styles

    @styles = CSS::Tiny->styles

Returns a list of CSS::Tiny::Style objects made up of all the style definitions in CSS::Tiny

CSS::Tiny->selectors

    @selectors = CSS::Tiny->selectors

Returns a list of selector strings in the CSS::Tiny object

Selectors

tag

  my $style = CSS::Tiny::Style->new('pre');
  print $style->tag; # prints "pre"

Returns the tag part of the selector

id

  my $style = CSS::Tiny::Style->new('li#leftmenu');
  print $style->id; # prints "leftmenu"

Returns the id part of the selector

class

  my $style = CSS::Tiny::Style->new('p.big');
  print $style->class; # prints "big"

Returns the class part of the selector

selector

  my $style = CSS::Tiny::Style->new('div.sidebar p.new');
  print $style->selector; # prints "div.sidebar p.new"

Returns the selector string

selector_array

  my $style = CSS::Tiny::Style->new('div.main div.sidebar > p.new');
  @sel_arr = $style->selector_array;
  print join "::" @sel_arr;
  # prints 

Returns an array of element tags (i.e: p.important) alternated with strings derived from relative selectors (i.e.: the ">" or "+" or " " between element tags.

Relative selectors are transformed as follows:

'+' becomes 'left'

'>' becomes 'parent'

' ' becomes 'lineage'

selarr

selarr is an alias for selector_array

Specificity

specificity

  my $style = CSS::Tiny::Style->new('h1.menu li.myclass');
  print $style->specificity # prints 22

Returns the selector's specificity as described in http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#specificity. A base 100 is used.

count_tags

  my $style = CSS::Tiny::Style->new('h1.menu li.myclass #foo');
  print $style->count_tags # prints 2

Return the number of tags in the selector

count_ids

  my $style = CSS::Tiny::Style->new('h1#bar li.myclass #foo');
  print $style->count_ids # prints 2

Return the number of ids in the selector

count_attributes

  my $style = CSS::Tiny::Style->new('h1.menu li #foo');
  print $style->count_attributes # prints 1

Return the number of attributes in the selector

Matching and inlining

match

    $el = HTML::Element->new('p');
    $el->attr('class', 'myclass');

    $cts = CSS::Tiny::Style->new('p.myclass')
    $cts->match($el) # return true

Returns true if the style selector matches on the HTML::Element object, taking into account all its relatives (siblings, ancestors, parent).

element_match

    $el = HTML::Element->new('p');
    $el->attr('class', 'myclass');

    $cts = CSS::Tiny::Style->new('p.myclass')
    $cts->element_match($el) # return true

Returns true if the style selector matches on the HTML::Element object without taking into account the ancestors.

add_to

Inlines the style definition into the element.
