Arrowhead

A vanilla JavaScript helper to parse JSON into CSS. Formerly known as JOSH.

Why using Arrowhead?

Arrowhead is a great helper for any web-project which uses CSS. With Arrowhead you can include your CSS either as JSON or as a string right into your HTML or JavaScript without having an additional server-request for your CSS. The result is that you just have to keep track to fewer files and even the performance of your web-project benefits too.

Using Arrowhead with JSON

<script>
  /* Copy Arrowhead in your JavaScript! */

  Arrowhead.parse({
    "#foo": {
      "position": "fixed",
      "top": 0,
      "left": 0,
      "background": "#ddd",
      "width": "100%",
      "height": "4rem"
    },
    ".bar": {
      "color": "red",
      "background": "#808080"
    }
  });
</script>

Using Arrowhead with strings

<script>
  /* Copy Arrowhead in your JavaScript! */

  Arrowhead.parse("#foo{position:fixed;top:0;left:0;background:#ddd;width:100%;height:4rem;}.bar{color:red;background:#808080;}");
</script>
