.compile to/should support string compilation?

How to compile from given CSS string?

body {
  cf: 'all';
  p {
    cf: 'before';
  }
  section {
    cf: 'after';
  }
}
.content {
  p {
    moveto: '10/20/30';
  },
  .animation {
    animate: 'fadeInLeftBig';
    fl: 'right';
  }
}

it seems that there's no such feature and also the api is not so node-way-friendly like here api.compile(function(){}, {minify: true}), which should be used to if you want to compile synchronously and give options

move all callbacks to the end. it is hard job to promisify the api.

hmm.. ooookey, logic. it is .importCSS but it only expects 1) already expanded css (I mean it should be expended if it is nested) 2) valid css.

Yep, you are right. There is no easy way to support that SCSS-ish syntax. Maybe if there is some SCSS to JSON parser.

if I have

css = {...}
Absurd().add(css).compile();

where do I put `{minify: true}'?

[krasimir]

@offthegrass you should pass minify: true to the compile method. For example:

.compile(function() {
  // ...
}, { minify: true });

Yea, this callback-first is confusing. We should change this api :)

[krasimir]

Yep, I wonder why I did it that way. I'll leave this issue open so I can take care.

[offthegrass]

cool, thanks.

I'm using a package that's written in coffeescript, so I js2.coffee'd - here's how it comes out:

api.compile (->), minify: true

it works, but wtf?! (->)
