Syntax

CSSStyleValue.parse(property, cssText)

Parameters

property

A CSS property to set.

cssText

A comma-separated string containing one or more values to apply to the provided property.

A CSSStyleValue object containing the first supplied value.

Example

The code below parses a set of declarations for the transform property. The second code block shows the structure of the returned object as it would be rendered in a developer tools console.

const css = CSSStyleValue.parse(
    'transform', 'translate3d(10px,10px,0) scale(0.5)');
CSSTransformValue {0: CSSTranslate, 1: CSSScale, length: 2, is2D: false}
