# css-browser-support
> Query for **CSS browser support data**, combined from caniuse and MDN, including version support started and global support percentages.
## Usage
Install the package:
```bash
npm i --save-dev css-browser-support
```
Then import it into your project:
```js
const { cssBrowserSupport } = require("css-browser-support");
```
And call it by passing a string or an array of strings containing the CSS features you'd like to query support:
```js
cssBrowserSupport([
"aspect-ratio",
"margin-inline",
"border-radius",
":nth-last-child",
"@layer",
"gap",
]);
```
Returns an object that includes each browser for which support is available, example for `aspect-ratio`:
```js
{
'aspect-ratio': {
chrome: {
sinceVersion: '88',
flagged: true,
globalSupport: 22.46,
browserTitle: 'Chrome'
},
chrome_android: {
sinceVersion: '88',
flagged: false,
globalSupport: 41.34,
browserTitle: 'Chrome Android'
},
edge: {
sinceVersion: '88',
flagged: false,
globalSupport: 3.88,
browserTitle: 'Edge'
},
// ... continued for all browsers
globalSupport: 86.49
}
}
```
## Supported CSS features
The API is intended to work for passing features as you would write them in CSS. As such, a few things will not be available if they exist on MDN under an expanded name. For example, `>` would be available as `child`.
Additionally, some features are nested and may be missed by the API. Exceptions are grid features (ex. `repeat()`), and color types (ex. `color-contrast()`) which have been explicitly included.
Review the data from MDN:
- [at-rules](https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/tree/main/css/at-rules)
- [properties](https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/tree/main/css/properties)
- [selectors](https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/tree/main/css/selectors)
- [types](https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/tree/main/css/types)
### Special case: `gap`
Since `gap` is a popular feature known to have been implemented for both flexbox and grid at different times, the API splits a request for `gap` to return support for both implementations.
In your implementation, you'll want to check for an input of `gap` and then update to handle for the two returned keys of `gap - flexbox` and `gap - grid`.
Example:
```js
if (queries.includes("gap")) {
queries.splice(queries.indexOf("gap"), 1);
queries.push("gap - flexbox");
queries.push("gap - grid");
}
```
## Implementing the data
- if your implementation accepts properties with values, ex `margin-inline: auto`, you are responsible for removing values before passing the property to the API
- due to the data returned from MDN, characters like `:` are stripped from selectors and pseudo-elements, and `@` is removed from at-rule, so for example `@layer` will be found in returned data as `layer`
For an example on using this data, see my Eleventy plugin implementation: **@11tyrocks/eleventy-plugin-css-browser-support**
- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@11tyrocks/eleventy-plugin-css-browser-support)
- [GitHub repo](https://github.com/5t3ph/eleventy-plugin-css-browser-support)
## Browser list
You can also import the full browser list as `BROWSERS`:
```js
const { cssBrowserSupport, BROWSERS } = require("css-browser-support");
```
View full browser list
The list is as follows:
```js
[
"chrome",
"chrome_android",
"edge",
"firefox",
"firefox_android",
"ie",
"opera",
"safari",
"safari_ios",
"samsunginternet_android",
];
```
## Credits
Two packages are being used to obtain support data:
- [@mdn/browser-compat-data](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mdn/browser-compat-data)
- [caniuse-lite](https://www.npmjs.com/package/caniuse-lite)
