Generic CSS style engine for Haskell, intended to aid the development of new browser engines.
Haskell Stylist implements CSS selection and cascade (but not inheritance) independant of the CSS at-rules and properties understood by the caller. It is intended to ease the development of new browser engines, independant of their output targets.

The second major number indicates that more of CSS has been implemented within the existing API. Until then the error recovery rules will ensure as yet invalid CSS won't have any effect.
The first major number indicates any other change to the API, and might break your code.
To parse a CSS stylesheet call Data.CSS.Syntax.StyleSheet.parse
which returns a variant of the passed in StyleSheet
. StyleSheet
is a typeclass specifying methods for parsing at-rules (parseAtRule
), storing parsed style rules (addRule
), and optionally setting the stylesheet's priority (setPriority
).
If these ultimately call down into a Data.CSS.Syntax.Style.QueryableStyleSheet
you can call queryRules
to find all matching style rules organized by psuedoelement. Once you have these style rules (typically by specifying a psuedoelement) you can call cascade'
to resolve them into any instance of PropertyParser
. To query rules not targetting a psuedoelement, you can either lookup the "" psuedoelement or use the cascade
shorthand.
PropertyParser
allows to declaratively (via Haskell pattern matching) specify how to parse CSS properties, and how they're impacted by CSS inheritance. It has four methods: longhand
and shorthand
specify how to parse CSS properties, whilst temp
and inherit
specifies what the default values should be.
ghc
and cabal-install
. (Debian package names listed here)cabal install
. This'll compile Stylist and all it's other dependencies.cabal test
