#nth-check [](https://travis-ci.org/fb55/nth-check)
|
|
|
|
A performant nth-check parser & compiler.
|
|
|
|
###About
|
|
|
|
This module can be used to parse & compile nth-checks, as they are found in CSS 3's `nth-child()` and `nth-last-of-type()`.
|
|
|
|
`nth-check` focusses on speed, providing optimized functions for different kinds of nth-child formulas, while still following the [spec](http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#nth-child-pseudo).
|
|
|
|
###API
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var nthCheck = require("nth-check");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#####`nthCheck(formula)`
|
|
|
|
First parses, then compiles the formula.
|
|
|
|
#####`nthCheck.parse(formula)`
|
|
|
|
Parses the expression, throws a `SyntaxError` if it fails, otherwise returns an array containing two elements.
|
|
|
|
__Example:__
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
nthCheck.parse("2n+3") //[2, 3]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#####`nthCheck.compile([a, b])`
|
|
|
|
Takes an array with two elements (as returned by `.parse`) and returns a highly optimized function.
|
|
|
|
If the formula doesn't match any elements, it returns [`boolbase`](https://github.com/fb55/boolbase)'s `falseFunc`, otherwise, a function accepting an _index_ is returned, which returns whether or not a passed _index_ matches the formula. (Note: The spec starts counting at `1`, the returned function at `0`).
|
|
|
|
__Example:__
|
|
```js
|
|
var check = nthCheck.compile([2, 3]);
|
|
|
|
check(0) //false
|
|
check(1) //false
|
|
check(2) //true
|
|
check(3) //false
|
|
check(4) //true
|
|
check(5) //false
|
|
check(6) //true
|
|
```
