A simple way to list all shorthand CSS properties and which properties they expand to.
I tried to search for an existing simple list but couldn’t find one, so I trawled through the various W3C CSS specs and collated the data.
Only specs that are Candidate Recommendations or better are counted, with the exception of some Working Drafts that have a lot of traction in browser implementations. So far the WD specs included here are Animation and Transitions.
Available on npm as css-shorthand-properties
, or in the browser as a global called cssShorthandProps
The core data as a simple JS object. Each key is a CSS shorthand property. Each value is a compacted list of CSS properties that the shorthand expands to.
There is a convenience method (listed below) that means you shouldn’t need to access this list directly, but it’s available for other use cases.
property
(String) Shorthand property to expand.cssShorthandProps.isShorthand('border'); // true
cssShorthandProps.isShorthand('display'); // false
property
(String) Shorthand property to expand.recurse
(Boolean – optional, default false
) If true, each longhand property will also be run through expand()
. This is only useful for the border
property.// Standard usage
cssShorthandProps.expand('list-style');
// ['list-style-type', 'list-style-position', 'list-style-image']
// Non-shorthand properties return themselves in an array
cssShorthandProps.expand('color');
// ['color']
// Using 'border' in normal mode...
cssShorthandProps.expand('border');
// ['border-width', 'border-style', 'border-color']
// ...but the border properties are also shorthands
cssShorthandProps.expand('border-width');
// ['border-top-width', 'border-right-width', 'border-bottom-width', 'border-left-width']
// Using 'border' with recursion returns an array of arrays
cssShorthandProps.expand('border', true);
