#j2c-importer

Reads CSS, prints or loads [J2C](http://j2c.py.gy) source objects.

You can [try it online](http://j2c.py.gy/import.html).

## Usage

### CLI

```Shell
$ npm install -g j2c-importer
# ...

$ j2c-importer [options] your-sheet.css
# outputs to STDOUT

```

#### options:

- `--format`: `js|json` the output format. Defaults to `js`.
- `--case`: `camel|snake|dash` how you want hyphenated property names to appear in the output? Defaults to `camel` in `js` mode and to `dash` in `json` mode.
- `--beautify`: whether you want the output to be beautified. Defaults to `true`.
- `--indent`: the indentation of the output when beautifying. Defaults to two spaces.

### API

```Shell
npm install --save j2c-importer
```

```
c2j = require('j2c-importer')


obj = importer.toJ2c('a {background-color: red;}', {case:'camel'})
// returns an object, ready to be passed to `j2c.sheet`.
// {'@global': {' a': {backgroundColor: 'red'}}}

js = importer.toJS('a {background-color: red;}', {case:'snake', indent: '\t'})
// returns a multi-line, tab-indented version of 
// "{'@global': {' a': {background_color: 'red'}}}"

JSON = importer.toJSON('a {background-color: red;}', {case:'dash', beautify:false})
// returns a JSON string
// "{\"@global\":{\" a\":{\"background-color\":\"red\"}}}"
```

### Limitations:

- Only works properly with full style sheets (inline styles will require mild manual cleaning).
- Comments are dropped
- Some CSS hacks may end up mangled. Check twice (or thrice).
- May be more conservative than needed to ensure that `source` and `j2c.sheet(importer.toJ2c(source))` are functionally equivalent.
- Little to no systematic testing (WIP).
