jaaCSS-cli

Warning: WIP and for now mainly experiment

Overview

This is command line (terminal) tool for managing functional (atomic) CSS clases. You can “connect” the script with CSS/SASS file by node jaaCSS.js -I file_path (on unix-like systems works without 'node ').

It opens interactive promt with typical usage:

? marginR
+ marginR__2
? fontS__1
- fontS__1
+ fontS__1d5

…in you web page, you wanted some right margin – so, you ask for already used margins, yet you decide to use new one. Analogously for font size.

More info for now only in source code ./src.

Example files

Modified files should look like:

• ./examples/example.css
• ./examples/example.scss
