Make it possible to parse comma separated selector to array of selector objects #14

Open Inviz opened 13 years ago

Inviz commented 13 years ago

Right now, Slick parses comma separated selectors into an array of expressions and wrap those into a single slick selector instance. Can you add a way to get 2 (or more) selector objects in array instead? Objects should have .raw attributes set correctly.

I do a split by comma now, but it doesnt take escaped strings into account so I feel so dirty to use it (i spend hours in shower thinking of how to clean my soul and get over it, but i cant).

Usage pattern: Parse css file, parse comma separated selectors, treat them as separate rule declarations (because they have different specificity & such).

Thank you guys for work on this. Slick saved my life.

Maybe there is a smart workaround on how to split a selector without effing up attribute declarations with commas and other stuff? Should I use one of those \'\' regexes?

You could get Slick to parse it and then loop through the expressions and pass each expression's raw into Slick.Parser again. Kindof a waste, but it would work!

We should add .raw properties for each expression.
