JSS
A simple JavaScript library for retrieving and setting CSS stylesheet rules.
- Tiny - only 4KB minified
- No dependencies
- MIT Licensed
- Supports FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera, and IE9+
Why generate CSS with JavaScript?
- To set styles that need to be calculated or retrieved
- To set behavioural styles for your widget or plugin so that consumers aren't forced to include a stylesheet for core functionality
- To dynamically apply styles without cluttering your HTML (as is the case with inline styles)
- To set styles on all current and future elements
Usage
Download and include jss.js
(or the minified file) in your HTML:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jss.js"></script>
If your project uses Bower for package management you can run the following command instead:
bower install jss
jss.set(selector, properties) to add a new rule or extend an existing rule:
jss.set('.demo', {
'font-size': '15px',
'color': 'red'
});
jss.get([selector]) to retrieve rules added via JSS:
jss.get('.demo');
// returns the following:
{
'font-size': '15px',
'color': 'red'
}
jss.get();
// returns the following:
{
'.demo': {
'font-size': '15px',
'color': 'red'
}
}
jss.getAll(selector) to retrieve all rules that are specified using the selector (not necessarily added via JSS):
jss.getAll('.demo');
// returns the following:
{
'font-size': '15px',
'color': 'red',
'font-weight': 'bold'
}
jss.remove([selector]) to remove rules added via JSS:
jss.remove('.demo'); // removes all JSS styles matching the selector
jss.remove(); // removes all JSS styles
