## Introduction
This PostHTML plugin can turn simple CSS selectors into [matcher objects](https://github.com/posthtml/posthtml/blob/master/README.md#match).
Supported features:
* Tags: `"div"` returns `{tag: "div"}`.
* Ids: `"#bar"` returns `{attrs: {id: "bar"}}`.
* Classes: `.foo` returns `{attrs: { class: /(?:^|\s)foo(?:\\s|$)/ }}`. Any number of classnames supported.
* Attribute selectors: any number of standard [attribute selectors](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/Attribute_selectors) can be used<sup><a href="#attribute_selectors_footnote">1</a></sup> including the following non-standard:
* `[attr!=value]`: matches attributes with values that do not contain `value`.
* Multiple node selectors: `"div, span"` returns `[{tag: "div"}, {tag: "span"}]`.
**<sup><a name="attribute_selectors_footnote">1</a></sup>** Multiple attribute selectors for the same attribute are not supported (this includes mixing classnames and attribute selectors matching `class`).
The basic template for selectors (and order of features) looks like this:
```js
"tag#id.class.name[attr*=value][otherattr^='start']"
```
## Basic usage
```js
import matchHelper from "posthtml-match-helper";
tree.match(matchHelper("div.class"), function (node) {
// do stuff with matched node...
});
```
## Advanced usage
```js
import matchHelper from "posthtml-match-helper";
tree.match(matchHelper("input.my-control[type!='radio'][checked], input[value^='foo'][checked]"), function (node) {
// do stuff with node that matched either of the selectors...
});
```
## Classnames with escaped characters
If you need to match nodes with classnames that use escaped characters, like those in Tailwind CSS utilities with arbitrary values, use the following syntax:
```js
import matchHelper from "posthtml-match-helper";
tree.match(matchHelper("input.\\[display:none\\]"), function (node) {
// do stuff with node that matched either of the selectors...
});
```
## The helper function
#### Arguments
* `matcher` (string) - A CSS selector that describes the node you want to match in PostHTML.
#### Returns
A matcher object or an array of matcher objects.
