[][src]Crate cssparser

Implementation of CSS Syntax Module Level 3 for Rust.

Input

Everything is based on Parser objects, which borrow a &str input. If you have bytes (from a file, the network, or something) and want to support character encodings other than UTF-8, see the stylesheet_encoding function, which can be used together with rust-encoding or encoding-rs.

Conventions for parsing functions

  • Take (at least) a input: &mut cssparser::Parser parameter
  • Return Result<_, ()>
  • When returning Ok(_), the function must have consumed exactly the amount of input that represents the parsed value.
  • When returning Err(()), any amount of input may have been consumed.

As a consequence, when calling another parsing function, either:

  • Any Err(()) return value must be propagated. This happens by definition for tail calls, and can otherwise be done with the ? operator.
  • Or the call must be wrapped in a Parser::try call. try takes a closure that takes a Parser and returns a Result, calls it once, and returns itself that same result. If the result is Err, it restores the position inside the input to the one saved before calling the closure.

Examples:

This example is not tested
// 'none' | <image>
fn parse_background_image(context: &ParserContext, input: &mut Parser)
                                    -> Result<Option<Image>, ()> {
    if input.try_parse(|input| input.expect_ident_matching("none")).is_ok() {
        Ok(None)
    } else {
        Image::parse(context, input).map(Some)  // tail call
    }
}
This example is not tested
// [ <length> | <percentage> ] [ <length> | <percentage> ]?
fn parse_border_spacing(_context: &ParserContext, input: &mut Parser)
                          -> Result<(LengthOrPercentage, LengthOrPercentage), ()> {
    let first = LengthOrPercentage::parse?;
    let second = input.try_parse(LengthOrPercentage::parse).unwrap_or(first);
    (first, second)
}

Modules

Delimiter

Delimiters constants.

Macros

_cssparser_internal_max_len
ascii_case_insensitive_phf_map

Define a function $name(&str) -> Option<&'static $ValueType>

match_ignore_ascii_case

Expands to a match expression with string patterns, matching case-insensitively in the ASCII range.

Structs

BasicParseError

The funamental parsing errors that can be triggered by built-in parsing routines.

CowRcStr

A string that is either shared (heap-allocated and reference-counted) or borrowed.

CssStringWriter

A fmt::Write adapter that escapes text for writing as a double-quoted CSS string. Quotes are not included.

DeclarationListParser

Provides an iterator for declaration list parsing.

Delimiters

A set of characters, to be used with the Parser::parse_until* methods.

ParseError

Extensible parse errors that can be encountered by client parsing implementations.

Parser

A CSS parser that borrows its &str input, yields Tokens, and keeps track of nested blocks and functions.

ParserInput

The owned input for a parser.

ParserState

A capture of the internal state of a Parser (including the position within the input), obtained from the Parser::position method.

RGBA

A color with red, green, blue, and alpha components, in a byte each.

RuleListParser

Provides an iterator for rule list parsing.

SourceLocation

The line and column number for a given position within the input.

SourcePosition

A position from the start of the input, counted in UTF-8 bytes.

TokenSerializationType

A category of token. See the needs_separator_when_before method.

UnicodeRange

One contiguous range of code points.

Enums

AngleOrNumber

Either an angle or a number.

AtRuleType

The return value for AtRuleParser::parse_prelude. Indicates whether the at-rule is expected to have a { /* ... */ } block or end with a ; semicolon.

BasicParseErrorKind

Details about a BasicParseError

Color

A value.

NumberOrPercentage

Either a number or a percentage.

ParseErrorKind

Details of a ParseError

Token

One of the pieces the CSS input is broken into.

Traits

AtRuleParser

A trait to provide various parsing of at-rules.

ColorComponentParser

A trait that can be used to hook into how cssparser parses color components, with the intention of implementing more complicated behavior.

DeclarationParser

A trait to provide various parsing of declaration values.

EncodingSupport

Abstraction for avoiding a dependency from cssparser to an encoding library

QualifiedRuleParser

A trait to provide various parsing of qualified rules.

ToCss

Trait for things the can serialize themselves in CSS syntax.

Functions

parse_color_keyword

Return the named color with the given name.

parse_important

Parse !important.

parse_nth

Parse the An+B notation, as found in the :nth-child() selector. The input is typically the arguments of a function, in which case the caller needs to check if the arguments’ parser is exhausted. Return Ok((A, B)), or Err(()) for a syntax error.

parse_one_declaration

Parse a single declaration, such as an ( /* ... */ ) parenthesis in an @supports prelude.

parse_one_rule

Parse a single rule, such as for CSSOM’s CSSStyleSheet.insertRule.

serialize_identifier

Write a CSS identifier, escaping characters as necessary.

serialize_name

Write a CSS name, like a custom property name.

serialize_string

Write a double-quoted CSS string token, escaping content as necessary.

stylesheet_encoding

Determine the character encoding of a CSS stylesheet.
