media-query-parser

• Create a JS object from a CSS media queries
• Create a CSS media query from a JS object
• Returns a ParserError for invalid CSS media queries
• Spec-compliant - https://www.w3.org/TR/mediaqueries-5/
  • All valid queries parsed
    e.g. (100px < width < 200px)
• Zero-dependencies
• Well tested - every single line
• TypeScript friendly

Try it!

Why?

Other CSS parsers (e.g. css-tree and postcss) do not support all media query syntax out of the box.

Further, the only other media query parser that I'm aware of is postcss-media-query-parser - which is specific to postcss and doesn't parse newer syntax like range expressions (i.e. (width >= 768px)).

This package is a spec-compliant media query parser that can be used in Node/Deno/etc, or on the client that precisely matches the spec right down to the quirks.

These are media queries that this library can parse:

@media (768px <= width < 1200px);
@media only print and (color);
@media not (not (not (((hover) or ((not (color)))))));
@media (🐈: 😸 /* if cat happy */) {
  /* this query has valid syntax, but isn't a current browser feature 😿 (yet) */
  /* see "Libraries that use this" at the bottom of this README */
}

These are unparseable media queries that this library can detect:

@media (color) or (hover); /* or cannot be at top level */
@media (min-width: calc(50vw + 10px)); /* functions aren't valid values */
@media not((color)); /* whitespace must follow `not` */
@media (768px < = width < 1200px); /* cannot have a space between `<` and `=` */

Install

This package is available from the npm registry.

npm install media-query-parser

Usage

Supports JavaScript + TypeScript:

import { parseMediaQuery } from "media-query-parser";

const mediaQuery = parseMediaQuery("screen and (min-width: 768px)");
if (!isParserError(mediaQuery)) {
  console.log(mediaQuery);
  // {
  //   _t: "query",
  //   type: "screen",
  //   condition: {
  //     _t: "condition",
  //     op: "and",
  //     nodes: [
  //       {
  //         _t: "in-parens",
  //         node: {
  //           _t: "feature",
  //           context: "value",
  //           feature: "min-width",
  //           value: {
  //             _t: "dimension",
  //             value: 768,
  //             unit: "px",
  //           },
  //         },
  //       },
  //     ],
  //   },
  // }
  // // start/end omitted for brevity

  console.log(stringify(mediaQuery.condition));
  // "(min-width: 768px)"
}

Can also be imported via require("media-query-parser").
