CSS Tokenizer Tests

Tokenizing CSS is non-trivial and some packages might choose to deviate from the specification. This library is not intended to rank tokenizers.

I can not stress enough that this is comparing apples to oranges. Different tokenizers are build for different purposes. Some do not track source offsets, others do not expose parsed/unescaped values.

It is intended to make it easier to find and resolve issues when that is desirable.

It is also a corpus of CSS that can be used to build a comprehensive test suite for your tokenizer.

---

Test Corpus format :

import { testCorpus } from '@rmenke/css-tokenizer-tests';

// A specific test case.
const testCase = testCorpus['tests/at-keyword/0001'];

// The CSS source for a test case.
const cssSource = testCase.css;

// The reference tokens for the test case.
const tokens = testCase.tokens;

// Iterate all test cases.
for (const aTestCaseName in testCorpus) {
	const aTestCase = testCorpus[aTestCaseName];
}

Tokens format :

This test corpus strictly follows the CSS specification. The token type names are taken directly from the specification.

• type is the token type name
• raw is the literal representation of the token in the CSS source.
• startIndex and endIndex are the index of the first and last character in the CSS source.
• structured contains extracted data. (numeric values for number-token, unescaped ident names, ...)

{
	"type": "at-keyword-token",
	"raw": "@foo",
	"startIndex": 0,
	"endIndex": 4,
	"structured": {
		"value": "foo"
	}
}

The CSS specification does not require tokenizers to expose this exact interface or the values therein. This is intended as data to verify that a tokenizer works as expected, nothing more.

You choose which bits you want to compare and how. This is also why this package is not a test framework.
