## Usage

Install the library with a package manager, e.g. npm:

```shell
npm install style-vendorizer
```

After that, import transformer functions on demand. A recommended starting point is shown below:

```js
import {
cssPropertyAlias,
cssPropertyPrefixFlags,
cssValuePrefixFlags,
} from "style-vendorizer";

function styleDeclaration(property, value) {
let cssText = "";

/* Resolve aliases, e.g. `gap` -> `grid-gap` */
const propertyAlias = cssPropertyAlias(property);
if (propertyAlias) cssText += `${propertyAlias}:${value};`;

/* Prefix properties, e.g. `backdrop-filter` -> `-webkit-backdrop-filter` */
const propertyFlags = cssPropertyPrefixFlags(property);
if (propertyFlags & 0b001) cssText += `-webkit-${property}:${value};`;
if (propertyFlags & 0b010) cssText += `-moz-${property}:${value};`;
if (propertyFlags & 0b100) cssText += `-ms-${property}:${value};`;

/* Prefix values, e.g. `position: "sticky"` -> `position: "-webkit-sticky"` */
/* Notice that flags don't overlap and property prefixing isn't needed here */
const valueFlags = cssValuePrefixFlags(property, value);
if (valueFlags & 0b001) cssText += `${property}:-webkit-${value};`;
else if (valueFlags & 0b010) cssText += `${property}:-moz-${value};`;
else if (valueFlags & 0b100) cssText += `${property}:-ms-${value};`;

/* Include the standardized declaration last */
/* https://css-tricks.com/ordering-css3-properties/ */
cssText += `${property}:${value};`;

return cssText;
}
```

Prefix flags may be defined in TypeScript without any overhead as follows:

```ts
const enum CSSPrefixFlags {
"-webkit-" = 1 << 0, // 0b001
"-moz-" = 1 << 1, // 0b010
"-ms-" = 1 << 2, // 0b100
}

/* Magic numbers from the previous snippet should be replaced like below: */
if (flags & CSSPrefixFlags["-webkit-"]) cssText += "...";
if (flags & CSSPrefixFlags["-moz-"]) cssText += "...";
if (flags & CSSPrefixFlags["-ms-"]) cssText += "...";
```

## Browser Support

Every browser in the default [Browserslist](https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist) configuration is supported and tested against:

- Baidu Browser for Android 7.12+
- Chrome 57+
- Edge 16+
- Firefox 48+
- Internet Explorer 11
- KaiOS Browser 2.5+
- Opera 46+
- Safari 12.2+
- Samsung Internet Browser 11.1+
- QQ Browser for Android 10.4+
- UC Browser for Android 12.12+

## Quirks

- Function values are only prefixed for longhand properties. This guarantees that only the start of each value is compared, for efficiency:

```js
// Prints "1 0"
console.log(
cssPropertyPrefixFlags(
"background-image", // Longhand
"image-set('example.png' 1x, 'example-2x.png' 2x)", // Prefixed
),
cssPropertyPrefixFlags(
"background", // Shorthand
"image-set('example.png' 1x, 'example-2x.png' 2x)", // Not prefixed
),
);
```

- CSS Grid works in IE 11 only when using the following longhand properties:
- `grid-template-rows`, `grid-template-columns`
- `grid-row-start`, `grid-column-start`
- `-ms-grid-row-span` and `-ms-grid-column-span` (along with `grid-row-end` and `grid-column-end` for cross-browser compatibility)
- `align-self`, `justify-self`
- `cross-fade()` and `element()` functions are not prefixed, due to the lack of standard implementations.
- Selectors are not yet supported.
