Metrics

Simplicity

The Simplicity is measured as Rules divided by Selectors.

Average of Identifier

The Average of Identifier is measured as Total Identifiers divided by Selectors.

Average of Cohesion

The Average of Cohesion is measured as Total declarations divided by Rules.

Lowest Cohesion

The Lowest Cohesion metric is the number of selector declarations.

• SOLID CSS | Blog | Miller Medeiros

Unqualified Attribute Selectors

The Unqualified Attribute Selectors metrics is the number of unqualified attribute selectors.

The following patterns will be counted:

[type=text] {
    color: red;
}

.selected [type=text] {
    color: red;
}

The following patterns are considered to be okay and will not be counted:

/* unqualified attribute selector is not key */
.selected [type=text] a {
    color: red;
}

JavaScript Specific Selectors

The JavaScript Specific Selectors metrics is the number of JavaScript-specific selectors, such as js-*. The selectors are only for JavaScript hooks; you should not to hang any presentation off them.

User Specified Selectors

The User Specified Selectors metrics is the number of user-specified selectors. Default is false. For instance, you can count the number of components if you specify "\\.component\\-" using reqular expression in .stylestatsrc .

Properties Count

The Properties Count is the number of property declarations. The default is to display the top 10 properties.

Configuration

You can configure StyleStats.

CLI:

$ stylestats -c path/to/.stylestatsrc

API:

var StyleStats = require('stylestats');
var stats = new StyleStats('path/to/stylesheet.css', 'path/to/.stylestatsrc');

Default configuration is here.

Here is an example JSON to disable display gzipped size:

{
  "gzippedSize": false
}
