CSSMathSum

The CSSMathSum interface of the CSS_Object_Model#css_typed_object_model represents the result obtained by calling add(), sub(), or toSum() on CSSNumericValue.

A CSSMathSum is the object type returned when the StylePropertyMapReadOnly.get() method is used on a CSS property whose value is created with a calc() function.

Constructor

CSSMathSum() Experimental: Creates a new CSSMathSum object.

Instance properties

CSSMathSum.values: Returns a CSSNumericArray object which contains one or more CSSNumericValue objects.

Static methods

The interface may also inherit methods from its parent interface, CSSMathValue.

Instance methods

Event handlers

Examples

We create an element with a width determined using a calc() function, then console.log() the operator and values, and dig into the values a bit.

html

<div>has width</div>

We assign a width

css

div {
  width: calc(30% - 20px);
}

We add the JavaScript

const styleMap = document.querySelector("div").computedStyleMap();

console.log(styleMap.get("width")); // CSSMathSum {values: CSSNumericArray, operator: "sum"}
console.log(styleMap.get("width").operator); // 'sum'
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values); // CSSNumericArray {0: CSSUnitValue, 1: CSSUnitValue, length: 2}
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values[0]); // CSSUnitValue {value: 30, unit: "percent"}
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values[0].value); // 30
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values[0].unit); // 'percent'
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values[1]); // CSSUnitValue {value: -20, unit: "px"}
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values[1].value); //  -20
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values[1].unit); // 'px'

The specification is still evolving. In the future we may write the last three lines as:

console.log(styleMap.get("width").values[1]); // CSSMathNegate {value: CSSUnitValue, operator: "negate"}
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values[1].value); // CSSUnitValue {value: 20, unit: "px"}
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values[1].value.unit); // 'px'
