cssstats

Parses stylesheets and returns an object with statistics

This is the core module used in http://cssstats.com

Installation

npm install cssstats

Usage

Node

var fs = require('fs')
var cssstats = require('csstats')

var css = fs.readFileSync('./styles.css', 'utf8')
var stats = cssstats(css)

PostCSS Plugin

CSS Stats can be used as a PostCSS plugin. The stats will be added to PostCSS's messages array.

var fs = require('fs')
var postcss = require('postcss')
var cssstats = require('csstats')

var css = fs.readFileSync('./styles.css', 'utf8')
postcss()
  .use(cssstats())
  .process(css)
  .then(function (result) {
    result.messages.forEach(function (message) {
      console.log(message)
    })
  })

CLI

npm i -g cssstats
cssstats file path/to/file.css > results.json

You can also pipe CSS to cssstats:

cat some-css-file.css | cssstats
getcss google.com | cssstats

Options

Options may be passed as a second argument.

var stats = cssstats(css, { mediaQueries: false })

• safe (boolean, default: true) - enables PostCSS safe mode for parsing CSS with syntax errors
• mediaQueries (boolean, default true) - determines whether or not to generate stats for each media query block
• importantDeclarations (boolean, default false) - include an array of declarations with !important

The following options add the results of helper methods to the returned object. This is helpful when using JSON.stringify().

• specificityGraph (boolean, deault false)
• sortedSpecificityGraph (boolean, deault false)
• repeatedSelectors (boolean, deault false)
• propertyResets (boolean, deault false)
• vendorPrefixedProperties (boolean, deault false)
