CSSStyleValue: parse() static method

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The parse() static method of the CSSStyleValue interface sets a specific CSS property to the specified values and returns the first value as a CSSStyleValue object.

Syntax

js
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.

Return value

A CSSStyleValue object containing the first supplied value.

Examples

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.

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