# StyleSheet Class

Defined in: `stylesheet/js/stylesheet.js:69`
Module: stylesheet

Create an instance of StyleSheet to encapsulate a css stylesheet. The constructor can be called using function or constructor syntax.

    var sheet = Y.StyleSheet(..);

or

    var sheet = new Y.StyleSheet(..);

The first parameter passed can be any of the following things:

- The desired string name to register a new empty sheet
- The string name of an existing StyleSheet instance
- The unique guid generated for an existing StyleSheet instance
- The id of an existing `<link>` or `<style>` node
- The node reference for an existing `<link>` or `<style>` node
- The Y.Node instance wrapping an existing `<link>` or `<style>` node
- A chunk of css text to create a new stylesheet from

If a string is passed, StyleSheet will first look in its static name registry for an existing sheet, then in the DOM for an element with that id. If neither are found and the string contains the { character, it will be used as a the initial cssText for a new StyleSheet. Otherwise, a new empty StyleSheet is created, assigned the string value as a name, and registered statically by that name.

The optional second parameter is a string name to register the sheet as. This param is largely useful when providing a node id/ref or chunk of css text to create a populated instance.

## Methods

### `disable`

() StyleSheet chainable

Defined in `stylesheet/js/stylesheet.js:236`

Disable all the rules in the sheet. Rules may be changed while the StyleSheet is disabled.

#### Returns:

StyleSheet:

### `enable`

() StyleSheet chainable

Defined in `stylesheet/js/stylesheet.js:227`

Enable all the rules in the sheet

#### Returns:

StyleSheet:

### `getCssText`

(

- `sel`

)
String

Defined in `stylesheet/js/stylesheet.js:379`

Get the current cssText for a rule or the entire sheet. If the selector param is supplied, only the cssText for that rule will be returned, if found. If the selector string targets multiple selectors separated by commas, the cssText of the first rule only will be returned. If no selector string, the stylesheet's full cssText will be returned.

#### Parameters:

- `sel` String

  Selector string

#### Returns:

String:

### `getId`

() Number

Defined in `stylesheet/js/stylesheet.js:219`

Get the unique stamp for this StyleSheet instance

#### Returns:

Number: the static id

### `isEnabled`

() Boolean

Defined in `stylesheet/js/stylesheet.js:246`

Returns false if the StyleSheet is disabled. Otherwise true.

#### Returns:

Boolean:

### `isValidSelector`

(

- `sel`

)
Boolean static

Defined in `stylesheet/js/stylesheet.js:502`

Determines if a selector string is safe to use. Used internally in set to prevent IE from locking up when attempting to add a rule for a "bad selector".

Bad selectors are considered to be any string containing unescaped `~!@$%^&()+=|{}[];'"?< or space. Also forbidden are . or # followed by anything other than an alphanumeric. Additionally -abc or .-abc or #_abc or '# ' all fail. There are likely more failure cases, so please file a bug if you encounter one.

#### Parameters:

- `sel` String

  the selector string

#### Returns:

Boolean:

### `register`

(

- `name`
- `sheet`

)
Boolean static

Defined in `stylesheet/js/stylesheet.js:487`

Registers a StyleSheet instance in the static registry by the given name

#### Parameters:

- `name` String

  the name to assign the StyleSheet in the registry

- `sheet` StyleSheet

  The StyleSheet instance

#### Returns:

Boolean: false if no name or sheet is not a StyleSheet instance. true otherwise.

### `set`

(

- `sel`
- `css`

)
StyleSheet chainable

Defined in `stylesheet/js/stylesheet.js:254`

Set style properties for a provided selector string. If the selector includes commas, it will be split into individual selectors and applied accordingly. If the selector string does not have a corresponding rule in the sheet, it will be added.

The object properties in the second parameter must be the JavaScript names of style properties. E.g. fontSize rather than font-size.

The float style property will be set by any of "float", "styleFloat", or "cssFloat".

#### Parameters:

- `sel` String

  the selector string to apply the changes to

- `css` Object

  Object literal of style properties and new values

#### Returns:

StyleSheet:

### `toCssText`

(

- `css`
- `cssText`

)
String static

Defined in `stylesheet/js/stylesheet.js:458`

Converts an object literal of style properties and values into a string of css text. This can then be assigned to el.style.cssText.

The optional second parameter is a cssText string representing the starting state of the style prior to alterations. This is most often extracted from the eventual target's current el.style.cssText.

#### Parameters:

- `css` Object

  object literal of style properties and values

- `cssText` String

  (optional) starting cssText value

#### Returns:

String: the resulting cssText string

### `unset`

(

- `sel`
- `css`

)
StyleSheet chainable

Defined in `stylesheet/js/stylesheet.js:314`

Unset style properties for a provided selector string, removing their effect from the style cascade.

If the selector includes commas, it will be split into individual selectors and applied accordingly. If there are no properties remaining in the rule after unsetting, the rule is removed.

The style property or properties in the second parameter must be the JavaScript style property names. E.g. fontSize rather than font-size.

The float style property will be unset by any of "float", "styleFloat", or "cssFloat".

#### Parameters:

- `sel` String

  the selector string to apply the changes to

- `css` String | Array

  style property name or Array of names

#### Returns:

StyleSheet:
