Darken the given color by amount.This function is
unit-sensitive, for example supporting percentages as shown

Returns the contrast ratio object between top and bottom colors, based on script underlying “contrast ratio” tool by Lea Verou.
The second argument is optional and is defaulted to #fff.
The main key in the returned object is ratio, it also have min and max values that are different from the ratio only when the bottom color is transparent. In that case the error also contains an error margin.
contrast(#000, #fff).ratio
=> 21
contrast(#000, rgba(#FFF, 0.5))
=> { "ratio": "13.15;", "error": "-7.85", "min": "5.3", "max": "21" }

The second argument is optional and is defaulted to #fff.
The third argument is optional and overrides the autodetected alpha.
transparentify(#808080)
=> rgba(0,0,0,0.5)
transparentify(#414141, #000)
=> rgba(255,255,255,0.25)

Unquote the given str and returned as a Literal node.
unquote("sans-serif")
// => sans-serif
unquote(sans-serif)
// => sans-serif
unquote('1px / 2px')
// => 1px / 2px
Like unquote() but tries to convert the given str to a Stylus node.
unit = convert('40px')
typeof(unit)
// => 'unit'
color = convert('#fff')
typeof(color)
// => 'rgba'
foo = convert('foo')
tyepof(foo)
// => 'literal'
The s() function is similar to unquote(), in that it returns
a Literal node, however it accepts a format string much like C's sprintf(). Currently the only specifier is %s.
s('bar()');
// => bar()
s('bar(%s)', 'baz');
// => bar("baz")
s('bar(%s)', baz);
// => bar(baz)
s('bar(%s)', 15px);
// => bar(15px)
s('rgba(%s, %s, %s, 0.5)', 255, 100, 50);
// => rgba(255, 100, 50, 0.5)
s('bar(%Z)', 15px);
// => bar(%Z)
s('bar(%s, %s)', 15px);
// => bar(15px, null)
Check out the % string operator for equivalent behaviour.
called-from property contains the list of the functions the current function was called from in the reverse order (the first item is the deepest function).
foo()
bar()
bar()
baz()
baz()
return called-from
foo()
// => bar foo
current-media() function returns the string of the current block's @media rule or '' if there is no @media above the block.
@media only screen and (min-width: 1024px)
current-media()
// => '@media (only screen and (min-width: (1024px)))'
+cache is a really powerful built-in function that allows you to create your own “cachable” mixins.
“Cachable mixin” is the one, that would apply its contents to the given selector on the first call, but would @extend the first call's selector at the second call with the same params.
size($width, $height = $width)
+cache('w' + $width)
width: $width
+cache('h' + $height)
height: $height
.a
size: 10px 20px
.b
size: 10px 2em
.c
size: 1px 2em
Would yield to
.a,
.b {
width: 10px;
}
.a {
height: 20px;
}
.b,
.c {
height: 2em;
}
.c {
width: 1px;
}
See how the selectors are grouped together by the used property.
Stylus comes with a block mixin prefix-classes that can be used for prefixing the classes inside any given Stylus' block. For example:
+prefix-classes('foo-')
.bar
width: 10px
Yields:
.foo-bar {
width: 10px;
}
Allows to create or overwrite a variable with a given name, passed as a string, onto current scope.
This bif can be useful on those cases in which you'd wish interpolation in variable names:
prefix = 'border'
border = { color: #000, length: 1px, style: solid }
for prop, val in border
define(prefix + '-' + prop, val)
body
border: border-length border-style border-color
yields:
body {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
Perform the given op on the left and right operands:
op = '+'
operate(op, 15, 5)
// => 20
Parenthesized expressions may act as tuples, the length() function returns the length of such expressions.
length((1 2 3 4))
// => 4
length((1 2))
// => 2
length((1))
// => 1
length(())
// => 0
length(1 2 3)
// => 3
length(1)
// => 1
length()
// => 0
Returns the compiled current selector or & if called at root level.
.foo
selector()
// => '.foo'
.foo
&:hover
selector()
// '.foo:hover'
Warn with the given error msg, does not exit.
warn("oh noes!")
Exits with the given error msg.
add(a, b)
unless a is a 'unit' and b is a 'unit'
error('add() expects units')
a + b
Return the last value in the given expr:
nums = 1 2 3
last(nums)
last(1 2 3)
// => 3
list = (one 1) (two 2) (three 3)
last(list)
// => (three 3)
Inspect the given expr:
fonts = Arial, sans-serif
p('test')
p(123)
p((1 2 3))
p(fonts)
p(#fff)
p(rgba(0,0,0,0.2))
add(a, b)
a + b
p(add)
stdout:
inspect: "test"
inspect: 123
inspect: 1 2 3
inspect: Arial, sans-serif
inspect: #fff
inspect: rgba(0,0,0,0.2)
inspect: add(a, b)
Return the opposites of the given positions.
opposite-position(right)
// => left
opposite-position(top left)
// => bottom right
opposite-position('top' 'left')
// => bottom right
Returns the width and height of the image found at path. Lookups are performed in the same manner as @import, altered by the paths setting.
width(img)
return image-size(img)[0]
height(img)
return image-size(img)[1]
image-size('tux.png')
// => 405px 250px
image-size('tux.png')[0] == width('tux.png')
// => true
Adds property name, with the given expr to the closest block.
For example:
something()
add-property('bar', 1 2 3)
s('bar')
body
foo: something()
yields:
body {
bar: 1 2 3;
foo: bar;
}
Next the "magic" current-property local variable comes into play. This variable is automatically available to function bodies, and contains an expression with the current property's name, and value.
For example if we were to inspect this local variable using p(), we
get the following:
p(current-property)
// => "foo" (foo __CALL__ bar baz)
p(current-property[0])
// => "foo"
p(current-property[1])
// => foo __CALL__ bar baz
Using current-property we can take our example a bit further, and duplicate the property with new values, and a conditional to ensure the function is only used within a property value.
something(n)
if current-property
add-property(current-property[0], s('-webkit-something(%s)', n))
add-property(current-property[0], s('-moz-something(%s)', n))
s('something(%s)', n)
else
error('something() must be used within a property')
body {
foo: something(15px) bar;
}
yields:
body {
foo: -webkit-something(15px);
foo: -moz-something(15px);
foo: something(15px) bar;
}
If you noticed in the example above, bar is only present for the initial call, since we returned something(15px), it remained in-place within the expression, however the others do not take the rest of the expression into account.
Our more robust solution below, defines a function named replace() which clones the expression to prevent mutation, replaces the string value of an expression with another, and returns the cloned expression. We then move on to replace __CALL__ within the expressions, which represents the cyclic call to something().
replace(expr, str, val)
expr = clone(expr)
for e, i in expr
if str == e
expr[i] = val
expr
something(n)
if current-property
val = current-property[1]
webkit = replace(val, '__CALL__', s('-webkit-something(%s)', n))
moz = replace(val, '__CALL__', s('-moz-something(%s)', n))
add-property(current-property[0], webkit)
add-property(current-property[0], moz)
s('something(%s)', n)
else
error('something() must be used within a property')
yields:
body {
foo: foo -webkit-something(5px) bar baz;
foo: foo -moz-something(5px) bar baz;
foo: foo something(5px) bar baz;
}
Our implementation is now fully transparent both in regards to the property it is called within, and the position of the call. This powerful concept aids in transparent vendor support for function calls, such as gradients.
You can use any given js-plugin at given path with use() function right inside your '.styl' files, like this:
use("plugins/add.js")
width add(10, 100)
// => width: 110
And the add.js plugin in this case looks this way:
var plugin = function(){
return function(style){
style.define('add', function(a, b) {
return a.operate('+', b);
});
};
};
module.exports = plugin;
If you'd like to return any Stylus objects like RGBA, Ident or Unit, you could use the provided Stylus nodes like this:
var plugin = function(){
return function(style){
var nodes = this.nodes;
style.define('something', function() {
return new nodes.Ident('foobar');
});
};
};
module.exports = plugin;
You can pass any options as an optional second argument, using the hash object:
use("plugins/add.js", { foo: bar })
Undefined functions will output as literals, so for example
we may call rgba-stop(50%, #fff) within our css, and it will
output as you would expect. We can use this within helpers as well.
In the example below we simply define the function stop() which
returns the literal rgba-stop() call.
stop(pos, rgba)
rgba-stop(pos, rgba)
stop(50%, orange)
// => rgba-stop(50%, #ffa500)
