CSSMathSum

View on MDN ↗

The CSSMathSum interface of the CSS Typed Object Model API 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

Static methods

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

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.

<div>has width</div>

We assign a width

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'
