Examples
Basic usage
We create an element with a width determined using a calc() function, then console.log() the operator.
html
<div>My width has a <code>calc()</code> function</div>
We assign a width with a calculation
css
div {
width: calc(50% - 0.5vw);
}
We add the JavaScript
js
const styleMap = document.querySelector("div").computedStyleMap();
console.log(styleMap.get("width")); // CSSMathSum {values: CSSNumericArray, operator: "sum"}
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values); // CSSNumericArray {0: CSSUnitValue, 1: CSSMathNegate, length: 2}
console.log(styleMap.get("width").operator); // 'sum'
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values[1].operator); // 'negate'
The CSSMathValue.operator returns sum for the equation and negate for the operator on the second value.
