# DebuCSSer

CSS debugging tool with an unpronounceable name.

### [Codepen Demo](https://codepen.io/lucagez/full/LMEerQ)

## Installation

If you are using a bundler:

`npm install debucsser`

Alternatively: download debucsser.js in /module folder and link it in your HTML.

_**A chrome extension is under development**_

## Why

Debucsser is a simple CSS debugging tool made to be unobtrusive in your workflow.

I often find myself applying an "outline" to a lot of elements on the page to see their dimensions.

With Debucsser I simply hold **`CTRL`** and move my mouse around to see the dimensions in px and apply an outline class to every element I hover.

If you  hold **`CTRL`** + **`SHIFT`** you apply the outline class to all the elements on the page by adding a global class.

You can configure some parameters.

I find handy the possibility to specify a custom class I want to apply to different elements without the need to comment and uncomment the my css files.

## Usage

```javascript

// only if you installed via NPM

import Debucsser from 'debucsser';

// pass all the custom properties you want

const config = {

  color: 'palevioletred', // color of the outline

  width: '4px', // width of the outline

  grayscaleOnDebugAll: true, // apply grayscale filter to every element 

  customClass: 'exampleClass',  // a class existent in your stylesheet

}

// init the debugger

const debug = new Debucsser(config).init();

```

When you have done this, simply hold **`CTRL`** or **`CTRL`** + **`SHIFT`** and move the mouse around on the page.
