Package Exports

string-extract-class-names

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (string-extract-class-names) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

string-extract-class-names

Extract class (or id) name from a string

Purpose

I was working on another project where I parsed some HTML and CSS and wanted to extract all the classes and id's. However, most of the time, classes and id's don't come bare, just like that — there are other selectors and tags around. For example,

From this:

sometagname a.class-name:hover

we want to extract this:

.class-name

OR, from this:

a.class-name[target=_blank]

this:

.class-name

This library will chop off heads — everything up to . (default) or # (set second input var) and tails — any of the following characters:

~ !@$%^&*()+=,./';:"?><[]\{}|`#

and everything that follows after them (the space above is deliberately there).

Install

$ npm install --save string-extract-class-names

Use

var extract = require('string-extract-class-names')

Test

$ npm test

Uses AVA.

API

extract(
  string,               // String. Input.
  chopUpToNotIncluding  // String. `.` for classes or `#` for id's. Default is `.`.
)
// => Extracted string

Examples

// second param is omitted, falls back to default "."
extract('div.class-name a[target=_blank]')
// => .class-name
// or with second parameter
extract('div.class-name a[target=_blank]', '.')
// => .class-name

We can extract id's be providing id selector as a second input parameter:

extract('a#id-name[href^="https"]', '#')
// => #id-name

Contributing & testing

All contributions welcome. This library uses Standard JavaScript notation. See test.js. It's very minimalistic testing setup using AVA.
