node-cssql

library1.0.2jsnpmunverified

A JavaScript wrapper for the CSS in SQL Transpiler (cssql), which allows users to write CSS using SQL-like DDL syntax (CREATE SELECTOR, INSERT, MERGE, etc.) that is then transpiled into standard CSS. The transpiler itself is written in Haskell and distributed via GHCJS. Version 1.0.2 is the latest stable release. This package is a novelty/educational project that intentionally makes CSS more verbose and less readable. It provides a Node API with a single function `cssql(inputFile, outputFile)`. Not recommended for production use.

Code

Verified usage

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

cssql

✓ const { cssql } = require('node-cssql');

CommonJS only; no ESM export available.

default

✓

✗ import cssql from 'node-cssql';

No default export; only named export { cssql } exists.

Shows basic usage: create a .cssql file, then transpile it to .css using the cssql function.

const { cssql } = require('node-cssql'); const path = require('path'); const input = path.join(__dirname, 'styles.cssql'); const output = path.join(__dirname, 'styles.css'); // Create a sample .cssql file if it doesn't exist const fs = require('fs'); if (!fs.existsSync(input)) { fs.writeFileSync(input, ` CREATE SELECTOR .my-class; INSERT .my-class (color, red); INSERT .my-class (font-size, 16px); `); } cssql(input, output); console.log('CSS generated at', output);

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe package is a joke/novelty; CSSQL syntax is intentionally more verbose than CSS.

fix

Do not use in production; consider using standard CSS or a preprocessor like SASS.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe transpiler is written in Haskell and bundled via GHCJS; transitive dependency size may be large.

fix

Be aware of large node_modules size; evaluate if this is acceptable.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaOnly CommonJS require() is supported; ESM import will fail.

fix

Use const { cssql } = require('node-cssql'); instead of import.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'node-cssql'

Package not installed correctly or missing from node_modules.

fix

Run 'npm install node-cssql' in your project root.

TypeError: cssql is not a function

Incorrect import: using default import instead of destructured require.

fix

Use const { cssql } = require('node-cssql');

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

Attempting to use ESM import with a CommonJS-only package.

fix

Use require() or convert your project to CommonJS.
