CSSPropertyRule: syntax property

{{APIRef("CSS Properties and Values API")}}

The read-only syntax property of the {{domxref("CSSPropertyRule")}} interface returns the literal syntax of the custom property registration represented by the {{cssxref("@property")}} rule, controlling how the property's value is parsed at computed-value time.

Value

A string.

Examples

This stylesheet contains a single {{cssxref("@property")}} rule. The first {{domxref("CSSRule")}} returned will be a CSSPropertyRule representing this rule. The syntax property returns the literal string "<color>".

@property --property-name {
  syntax: "<color>";
  inherits: false;
  initial-value: #c0ffee;
}

const myRules = document.styleSheets[0].cssRules;
console.log(myRules[0].syntax); // "<color>"
