Expose CSS tokens

[MaceWindu]

It would be nice if you can make CSS tokens public.
In my case I need to extract urls from css, but required functionality (access to tokens) is currently marked as internal.
Right now I use ExCss project (https://github.com/TylerBrinks/ExCSS) for that task, but it wasn't updated in ages and contain critical bugs.

Are you sure you want the tokens? Working with the tokens is cumbersome and the tokens are thrown away anyway. I think what you are after is an improved object model that gives you easier access to desired information.

Well, right, I need access to typed property value, not just a string.

I've checked recent version and referenced commit and not sure how it can solve my issue (read all urls from css) - all I can get is a text of css style rule, but not typed values for rule properties.

The object model is rich now (though not exposed due to an unstable API, which will change in a future release) and this way you can get it (currently via reflection - in the future release directly, i.e., via a tree traversal / helper that will be delivered). If its a primitive value (e.g., for background-image) you can just get the CSS value (not the text, but the ICssValue, which is already exposed). What you look for is called a UrlReference (name subject for change). It has a property called Path, which gives you a string.

HTH!

(sorry for the incomplete solution, but I did not want to expose the full object model before not having reached a stable, i.e., non-breaking, state).

Thanks, will try it next week again. Tried today with old approach with making some types public and failed as interrnal types changed alot
