style-to-json

Takes an element's style and converts it to JSON that's compatible with css-layout

Use

npm install --save style-to-json

var styleToJSON = require("style-to-json");

// #myElement { width: 10px; flex: 1; display: flex; margin-top: 10px;}
var element = document.getElementById("myElement");

var style = styleToJSON(element);

// {width: 10, flex: 1, display: "flex", marginTop: 10}

Caveats:

Not all CSS will be parsed out. Only attributes supported by css-layout are taken into consideration.

As well, units are lost during parsing, so 10px is the same as 10em or 10%;

Values for attributes should only contain one value. For example, margin will ignore everything after the first value. So margin: 10px 5px 15px; will result in {margin: 10}. Same applies anywhere else that multiple values are possible in vanilla CSS.

Testing

• clone the repo
• npm install
• npm run test

More thorough tests are welcome. Currently there's just one test that does everything in one go.
