grid-template-parser
A simple CSS Grid template parser
Installation
npm install --save grid-template-parser
Basic usage
Parse a grid template
import {grid} from 'grid-template-parser';
const areas = grid(`
"a a a b b"
"a a a b b"
". . c c c"
"d d d d d"
`);
// → {
// width: 5,
// height: 4,
// areas: {
// a: {
// column: {start: 1, end: 4, span: 3},
// row: {start: 1, end: 3, span: 2},
// },
// b: {
// column: {start: 4, end: 6, span: 2},
// row: {start: 1, end: 3, span: 2},
// },
// c: {
// column: {start: 3, end: 6, span: 3},
// row: {start: 3, end: 4, span: 1},
// },
// d: {
// column: {start: 1, end: 6, span: 5},
// row: {start: 4, end: 5, span: 1},
// },
// },
// }
Build a grid template
import {template} from 'grid-template-parser';
const areas = template({
width: 5,
height: 4,
areas: {
a: {
column: {start: 1, end: 4, span: 3},
row: {start: 1, end: 3, span: 2},
},
b: {
column: {start: 3, end: 6, span: 3},
row: {start: 3, end: 5, span: 2},
},
},
});
// → `"a a a . ."
// "a a a . ."
// ". . b b b"
// ". . b b b"`
An helper is provided to declare areas more intuitively. The following example is equivalent to the previous:
import {template, area} from 'grid-template-parser';
const a = area({
x: 0,
y: 0,
width: 3,
height: 2,
});
const b = area({
x: 2,
y: 2,
width: 3,
height: 2,
});
const areas = template({
width: 5,
height: 4,
areas: {a, b},
});
// → `"a a a . ."
// "a a a . ."
// ". . b b b"
// ". . b b b"`
