1.0.0-alpha.29 (May 30, 2018)

  • Lexer
    • Syntax matching was completely reworked. Now it‘s token-based and uses state machine. Public API has not changed. However, some internal data structures have changed. Most significal change in syntax match result tree structure, it’s became token-based instead of node-based.
    • Grammar
      • Changed grammar tree format:
        • Added Token node type to represent a single code point (<delim-token>)
        • Added Multiplier that wraps a single node (term property)
        • Added AtKeyword to represent <at-keyword-token>
        • Removed Slash and Percent node types, they are replaced for a node with Token type
        • Changed Function to represent <function-token> with no children
        • Removed multiplier property from Group
      • Changed generate() method:
        • Method takes an options as second argument now (generate(node, forceBraces, decorator) -> generate(node, options)). Two options are supported: forceBraces and decorator
        • When a second parameter is a function it treats as decorate option value, i.e. generate(node, fn) -> generate(node, { decorate: fn })
        • Decorate function invokes with additional parameter – a reference to a node
  • Tokenizer
    • Renamed Atrule const to AtKeyword

1.0.0-alpha.28 (February 19, 2018)

1.0.0-alpha.27 (January 14, 2018)

    • Renamed translate() to generate() and changed to take options argument
    • Removed translateMarkup(ast, enter, leave) method, use generate(ast, { decorator: (handlers) => { ... }}) instead
    • Removed translateWithSourceMap(ast), use generate(ast, { sourceMap: true }) instead
    • Changed to support for children as an array
  • Walker
    • Changed walk() to take an options argument instead of handler, with enter, leave, visit and reverse options (walk(ast, fn) is still works and equivalent to walk(ast, { enter: fn }))
    • Removed walkUp(ast, fn), use walk(ast, { leave: fn })
    • Removed walkRules(ast, fn), use walk(ast, { visit: 'Rule', enter: fn }) instead
    • Removed walkRulesRight(ast, fn), use walk(ast, { visit: 'Rule', reverse: true, enter: fn }) instead
    • Removed walkDeclarations(ast, fn), use walk(ast, { visit: 'Declaration', enter: fn }) instead
    • Changed to support for children as array in most cases (reverse: true will fail on arrays since they have no forEachRight() method)
  • Misc
    • List
      • Added List#forEach() method
      • Added List#forEachRight() method
      • Added List#filter() method
      • Changed List#map() method to return a List instance instead of Array

    • Canceled error for a handing semicolon in a block
    • Canceled error for unclosed Brackets, Function and Parentheses when EOF is reached
    • Fixed error when prelude ends with a comment for at-rules with custom prelude consumer
    • Relaxed at-rule parsing:
      • Canceled error when EOF is reached after a prelude
      • Canceled error for an at-rule with custom block consumer when at-rule has no block (just don't apply consumer in that case)
      • Canceled error on at-rule parsing when it occurs outside prelude or block (at-rule is converting to Raw node)
      • Allowed for any at-rule to have a prelude and a block, even if it‘s invalid per at-rule syntax (the responsibility for this check is moved to lexer, since it’s possible to construct a AST with such errors)
    • Made a declaration value a safe parsing point (i.e. error on value parsing lead to a value is turning into Raw node, not a declaration as before)
    • Excluded surrounding white spaces and comments from a Raw node that represents a declaration value
    • Changed Value parse handler to return a node only with type Value (previously it returned a Raw node in some cases)
    • Fixed issue with onParseError() is not invoked for errors occured on selector or declaration value parsing in some cases

  • Lexer
    • Changed grammar.walk() to invoke passed handler on entering to node rather than on leaving the node
    • Improved grammar.walk() to take a walk handler pair as an object, i.e. walk(node, { enter: fn, leave: fn })
    • Changed Lexer#match*() methods to take a node of any type, but with a children field
    • Added Lexer#match(syntax, node) method
    • Fixed Lexer#matchType() method to stop return a positive result for the CSS wide keywords

1.0.0-alpha25 (October 9, 2017)

  • Parser
    • Added fallback node as argument to onParseError() handler
    • Fixed raw consuming in tolerant mode when selector is invalid (greedy consuming and redundant warnings)
    • Fixed exception in tolerant mode caused by unknown at-rule with unclosed block
    • Changed handling of semicolons:
      • Hanging semicolon inside declaration blocks raise an error or turns into a Raw node in tolerant mode instead of being ignored
      • Semicolon outside of declaration blocks opens a Rule node as part of selector instead of being ignored
    • Aligned parseAtrulePrelude behaviour to parseRulePrelude
      • Removed Raw node wraping into AtrulePrelude when parseAtrulePrelude is disabled
      • Removed error emitting when at-rule has a custom prelude customer but no prelude is found (it should be validated by a lexer later)
  • Generator
    • Fixed performance issue with translateWithSourceMap(), flattening the string (because of mixing building string and indexing into it) turned it into a quadratic algorithm (approximate numbers can be found in the quiz created by this case)
  • Added support for a single solidus hack for property()
  • Minor fixes for custom errors

1.0.0-alpha24 (September 14, 2017)

  • Improved CSSTree to be stable for standart build-in objects extension (#58)
  • Parser
    • Renamed rule‘s selector to prelude. The reasons: spec names this part so, and this branch can contain not only a selector (SelectorList) but also a raw payload (Raw). What’s changed:

    • Renamed Tokenizer.findWhitespaceEnd() to Tokenizer.findWhiteSpaceEnd()
  • Parser
    • Added initial implementation of tollerant mode (turn on by passing tolerant: true option). In this mode parse errors are never occour and any invalid part of CSS turns into a Raw node. Current safe points: Atrule, AtruleExpression, Rule, Selector and Declaration. Feature is experimental and further improvements are planned.
    • Changed Atrule.expression to contain a AtruleExpression node or null only (other node types is wrapping into a AtruleExpression node)
    • Renamed AttributeSelector.operator to AttributeSelector.matcher
  • Generator
    • translate() method is now can take a function as second argument, that recieves every generated chunk. When no function is passed, default handler is used, it concats all the chunks and method returns a string.
  • Lexer
    • Used mdn/data package as source of lexer's grammar instead of local dictionaries
    • Added x unit to <resolution> generic type
    • Improved match tree:
      • Omited Group (sequences) match nodes
      • Omited empty match nodes (for terms with zero or more multipliers)

      • Changed translate() function to get a handler as third argument (optional). That handler recieves result of node traslation and can be used for decoration purposes. See example
      • Added SyntaxParseError to grammar export
      • Reworked group and multipliers representation in syntax tree:
        • Replaced Sequence for Group node type (Sequence node type removed)
        • Added explicit boolean property for Group

        • Renamed nonEmpty Group's property to disallowEmpty
        • Added optimisation for syntax tree by dropping redundant root Group when it contains a single Group term (return this Group as a result)
    • Changed lexer's match functionality
      • Changed Lexer#matchProperty() and Lexer#matchType() to return an object instead of match tree. A match tree stores in matched field when AST is matched to grammar successfully, otherwise an error in error field. The result object also has some methods to test AST node against a match tree: getTrace(), isType(), isProperty() and isKeyword()
      • Added Lexer#matchDeclaration() method
      • Removed Lexer#lastMatchError (error stores in match result object in error field)
