# LiquidCSS

Command line tool for hashing selector names across CSS, HTML and JavaScript files.

### Description & Implementation

The tool makes most scraping robots obsolete by dynamically hashing all selectors across the entire infrastructure of a web application. Most scraping tools 

achieve their objective by hooking onto certain HTML selector names in the response document. LiquidCSS offers up a way to counter act this approach by changing the selector names without breaking any of the functionality or appearance of the web application. 

Install the package with: ```pip install liquidcss``` \

https://pypi.org/project/liquidcss/

### Usage

To begin using the tool first create a WorkSpace: ```liquid init``` \

Register files to the WorkSpace either individually or by specifying a ```txt``` document containing a list of paths: \

```liquid grab /path/to/file``` or ```liquid grab -r paths.txt```

Once files are registered, view their status inside the WorkSpace:```liquid status -a```

```

[ID: 0]

    name: sample001.css

    path: /example/original/sample001.css

    type: css

    hash: 603706f3aa0a9b7779fca2acd29d4b8e5a68796f846f955c6ac6e72b6f13081a

    staged: True

    deployed: False

```

Hash the selector names across all registered files: ```liquid stage -a```

**The selector names will be hashed only if they are present in the CSS files registered in the workspace.**

The files are now ready to be deployed. The deploy command will swap the files at the registered paths with the hashed files and create

a backup of the original files:```liquid deploy -a```

Reverse the deployment of the files with hashed selectors and replace them with files stored in backup: ```liquid deploy -a -r```

**JavaScript files registered with the WorkSpace can only contain ```const``` or ```var``` key words and only the selector names as strings include the ```.``` or the ```#```.** See the examples in the example folder.

More extensive documentation and further features are in development.
