CSS::Adaptor(3pm)

💅 CSS::Adaptor — the manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to CSS::Adaptor(3pm), a User Contributed Perl doc ✨ this one is short but it's so important, it's giving backstage-pass energy 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

CSS::Adaptor — Arbitrarily map CSS data for use in another context. that's the whole job. arbitrary mapping. no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, copy it exactly, don't freestyle:

use CSS;

# create a CSS object with an adaptor
my $css = new CSS({
     'adaptor' => 'CSS::Adaptor',
});

# load some CSS data
$css->read_file( "my_file.css" );

# change the adaptor
$css->set_adaptor( "CSS::Adaptor::Pretty" );

# output CSS object using the current adaptor
print $css->output();

see how it just… swaps the adaptor and the output changes? iconic behaviour honestly 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, this class is used by CSS to translate a CSS object into a string. that's it. that's the function. and because of that, CSS data can be easily mapped into other formats — literally any format you want, that's the "arbitrarily" part, bestie 💖

now listen: this documentation is for people who want to write their own CSS::Adaptor module. if you're just here to use it, not to build one, you want the docs for CSS instead. iykyk 🫶

🎀 METHODS 🎀

🧚 CONSTRUCTOR

• new() — called without options. no args, no drama, no notes. she just arrives 💅

⭐ FUNCTIONS

• output_rule( $rule ) — returns a string containing a formatted CSS::Style object, passed as an object ref. one rule in, glow-up out ✨
• output_selectors( $selectors ) — returns a string containing a formatted list of CSS::Selector objects, passed as an array ref. yes, array ref, she wants the whole squad 🎀
• output_properties( $properties ) — returns a string containing a formatted list of CSS::Property objects, passed as an array ref. again: array ref, keep up bestie 🦋
• output_values( $values ) — returns a string containing a formatted list of CSS::Value objects, passed as an array ref. last one, same deal, array ref, mwah 💜

lowkey the pattern here is: give it refs, get strings back. that's the whole personality of this module fr fr 🌸
