# selector-pseudo-element-whitelist

**_Deprecated: Instead use the [`selector-pseudo-element-allowed-list`](../selector-pseudo-element-allowed-list/README.md) rule._**

Specify a list of allowed pseudo-element selectors.

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```css
  a::before {}
/**  ↑
 * This pseudo-element selector */
```

This rule ignores:

- CSS2 pseudo-elements i.e. those prefixed with a single colon
- selectors that use variable interpolation e.g. `::#{$variable} {}`

## Options

`array|string|regex`: `["array", "of", "unprefixed", "pseudo-elements" or "regex"]|"pseudo-element"|/regex/`

Given:

```
["before", "/^my-/i"]
```

The following patterns are considered violations:

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```css
a::after {}
```

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```css
a::not-my-pseudo-element {}
```

The following patterns are _not_ considered violations:

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```css
a::before {}
```

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```css
a::my-pseudo-element {}
```

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```css
a::MY-OTHER-pseudo-element {}
```
