Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

parse

✓ import { parse } from 'css-box-shadow'

✗ import parse from 'css-box-shadow'

Named export; default export is not available.

stringify

✓ import { stringify } from 'css-box-shadow'

✗ import { stringify } from 'css-box-shadow'; const { stringify } = require('css-box-shadow')

Also works with CommonJS require(). Both ESM and CJS are supported.

parse (CommonJS)

✓ const { parse } = require('css-box-shadow')

✗ const parse = require('css-box-shadow').default

No default export; destructure the required object.

Parses a CSS box-shadow string into an array of objects, then stringifies it back.

import { parse, stringify } from 'css-box-shadow'; const shadowString = '0 0 0 32px tomato'; const parsed = parse(shadowString); console.log(parsed); // [{ inset: false, offsetX: 0, offsetY: 0, blurRadius: 0, spreadRadius: 32, color: 'tomato' }] const reconstructed = stringify(parsed); console.log(reconstructed); // '0 0 0 32px tomato'

Known issues

gotchaThe package version is 1.0.0-3 (pre-release). API may change between minor versions.

fix

Pin to exact version if stability is critical.

affects: 1.0.0-*

gotchaOnly supports a limited subset of CSS box-shadow syntax; multiple shadows with comma separation are supported as array, but `inset` keyword must be first if present.

fix

Ensure input strings follow standard CSS box-shadow format.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe package does not perform validation of color values; arbitrary strings accepted.

fix

Validate color values separately if needed.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'match')

Passing a non-string value to parse().

fix

Always pass a string: const result = parse(String(value));

TypeError: stringify is not a function

Attempting to call stringify as default import.

fix

Use named import: import { stringify } from 'css-box-shadow'
