Enable vars and nested calc&var

[snowystinger]

This library already just passes calc's right through. I propose doing the same with var and nested calcs and nested vars. We don't need to resolve them, but I do need them not to be swallowed silently in my tests.

Hi! AFAIK this closes #125 Could be consider @jsakas ?

Just stumbled across this pull request after trying to figure out why var() wasn't working.

Instead of defining a new VAR parser type, should CSSStyleDeclaration.setProperty be updated instead? There's already a check for custom properties which can be leveraged. I'd suggest doing this (the only change is to setting isCustomProperty):

CSSStyleDeclaration.prototype = {
...
  setProperty: function(name, value, priority) {
...
    var isCustomProperty = name.indexOf('--') === 0 ||
        (typeof value === 'string' && /^var\(--[-\w]+,?.*\)$/.test(value));
    if (isCustomProperty) {
      this._setProperty(name, value, priority);
      return;
    }
...
  },

  // Included for context (already implemented on master)
  _setProperty: function(name, value, priority) {
    if (value === undefined) {
      return;
    }
    if (value === null || value === '') {
      this.removeProperty(name);
      return;
    }
    if (this._values[name]) {
      // Property already exist. Overwrite it.
      var index = Array.prototype.indexOf.call(this, name);
      if (index < 0) {
        this[this._length] = name;
        this._length++;
      }
    } else {
      // New property.
      this[this._length] = name;
      this._length++;
    }
    this._values[name] = value;
    this._importants[name] = priority;
    this._onChange(this.cssText);
  },

As implemented in this pull request, only the color property will be able to use var(). Other properties (such as font-size) will still run into issues parsing it.

Thanks for taking a look, I'll see if I can find some time to update and check if that works, authors of the repo should feel free to push to my fork as well if they get to it before I do

@domenic @jsakas I'd like to follow up here (and on this PR) since it appears that there are a number of missing features from cssstyle and jsdom that prevent CSS variable inheritance to be testable using JSDOM

here is a minimum-viable failure case using the vanilla-extract styling library which relies heavily on CSS variables to enable performant theming and dynamic styling

@hughes-ch thanks for the suggestion, I think that will work. I've updated the PR. Apologies for the long wait
