NAME
    CSS::Simple - Interface through which to read/write/manipulate CSS files
    while respecting the cascade order

SYNOPSIS
     use CSS::Simple;

     my $css = new CSS::Simple();

     $css->read_file({ filename => 'input.css' });

     #perform manipulations...

     $css->write_file({ filename => 'output.css' });

DESCRIPTION
    Class for reading, manipulating and writing CSS. Unlike other CSS
    classes on CPAN this particular module focuses on respecting the order
    of selectors while providing a common sense API through which to
    manipulate the rules.

    Please note that while ordering is respected, the exact order of
    selectors may change. I.e. the rules implied by the styles and their
    ordering will not change, but the actual ordering of the styles may
    shift around. See the read method for more information.

CONSTRUCTOR
    new ([ OPTIONS ])
        Instantiates the CSS::Simple object. Sets up class variables that
        are used during file parsing/processing.

        warns_as_errors (optional). Boolean value to indicate whether fatal
        errors should occur during parse failures.

METHODS
    read_file( params )
        Opens and reads a CSS file, then subsequently performs the parsing
        of the CSS file necessary for later manipulation.

        This method requires you to pass in a params hash that contains a
        filename argument. For example:

        $self->read_file({filename => 'myfile.css'});

    read( params )
        Reads css data and parses it. The intermediate data is stored in
        class variables.

        Compound selectors (i.e. "a, span") are split apart during parsing
        and stored separately, so the output of any given stylesheet may not
        match the output 100%, but the rules themselves should apply as
        expected.

        Ordering of selectors may shift if the same selector is seen twice
        within the stylesheet. The precendence for any given selector is the
        last time it was seen by the parser.

        This method requires you to pass in a params hash that contains
        scalar css data. For example:

        $self->read({css => $css});

    write_file()
        Write the parsed and manipulated CSS out to a file parameter

        This method requires you to pass in a params hash that contains a
        filename argument. For example:

        $self->write_file({filename => 'myfile.css'});

    write()
        Write the parsed and manipulated CSS out to a scalar and return it

    content_warnings()
        Return back any warnings thrown while parsing a given block of css

        Note: content warnings are initialized at read time. In order to
        receive back content feedback you must perform read() first.

    get_selectors( params )
        Get an array of selectors that represents an inclusive list of all
        selectors stored.

    get_properties( params )
        Get a hash that represents the various properties for this
        particular selector

        This method requires you to pass in a params hash that contains
        scalar css data. For example:

        $self->get_properties({selector => '.foo'});

    check_selector( params )
        Determine if a selector exists within the stored rulesets

        This method requires you to pass in a params hash that contains
        scalar css data. For example:

        $self->check_selector({selector => '.foo'});

    modify_selector( params )
        Modify an existing selector

        Modifying a selector maintains the existing selectivity of the rule
        with relation to the original stylesheet. If you want to ignore that
        selectivity, delete the element and re-add it to CSS::Simple

        This method requires you to pass in a params hash that contains
        scalar css data. For example:

        $self->modify_selector({selector => '.foo', new_selector => '.bar'
        });

    add_selector( params )
        Add a selector and associated properties to the stored rulesets

        In the event that this particular ruleset already exists, invoking
        this method will simply replace the item. This is important - if you
        are modifying an existing rule using this method than the previously
        existing selectivity will continue to persist. Delete the selector
        first if you want to ignore the previous selectivity.

        This method requires you to pass in a params hash that contains
        scalar css data. For example:

        $self->add_selector({selector => '.foo', properties => {color =>
        'red' }});

    add_properties( params )
        Add properties to an existing selector, preserving the selectivity
        of the original declaration.

        In the event that this method is invoked with a selector that
        doesn't exist then the call is just translated to an add_selector
        call, thus creating the rule at the end of the ruleset.

        This method requires you to pass in a params hash that contains
        scalar css data. For example:

        $self->add_properties({selector => '.foo', properties => {color =>
        'red' }});

    delete_selector( params )
        Delete a selector from the ruleset

        This method requires you to pass in a params hash that contains
        scalar css data. For example:

        $self->delete_selector({selector => '.foo' });

    delete_property( params )
        Delete a property from a specific selectors rules

        This method requires you to pass in a params hash that contains
        scalar css data. For example:

        $self->delete_property({selector => '.foo', property => 'color' });
