Specificity Graph (for CSS)

Idea by Harry Roberts

Generate an interactive line graph showing the specificity in your stylesheet. Uses d3, css-parser, and specificity.

Installation

npm install specificity-graph

Usage

specifity-graph can be used in different ways:

• CLI
• Node module
• Via JavaScript
• Online

CLI

specificity-graph <cssFile> [options]

Creates a directory containing

• json file with specificity data for your CSS
• html file with interactive specificity graph for CSS
• necessary JS files to run graph

Options

Node module

var specificityGraph = require('specificity-graph');

specificityGraph(directory, css, function(directory){
  console.log('specificity-graph files created in ' + directory);
});

Via JavaScript

First get the specificityGraph accessible in your code:

Using Browserify (or similar)

Just require('specificity-graph').

Standalone (no module loader)

Add <script src="specificity-graph-standalone.js"></script>, this will expose specificityGraph as a global variable.

Methods

• specificityGraph.create(css, options)
• specificityGraph.createFromData(specificityData, options),
• specificityGraph.update(css)
