SassyBitwise

Bitwise operators in Sass (not Ruby).

Installation

gem install SassyBitwise

# config.rb
require "SassyBitwise"

@include "SassyBitwise"

---

npm install sassybitwise

API

And

$value: bw-and(42, 48);
// or
$value: bitwise(42 '&' 48);

// -> 32

Or

$value: bw-or(42, 48);
// or
$value: bitwise(42 '|' 48);

// -> 58

Xor

$value: bw-xor(42, 48);
// or
$value: bitwise(42 '^' 48);

// -> 26

Not

$value: bw-not(42);
// or
$value: bitwise('~' 42);

// -> -43

Shift left

$value: bw-shift-left(42, 2);
// or
$value: bitwise(42 '<<' 2);

// -> 168

Shift right

$value: bw-shift-right(42, 2);
// or
$value: bitwise(42 '>>' 2);

// -> 10

All together

$value: bitwise(1 '|' 3 '|' 3 '|' 7);

// -> 7

Notes

• Because Sass requires special characters to be either quoted or escaped, it is recommanded you always quote the operators.
• bw() is an alias for bitwise()

Example

Encoding flags as a single int. You know, because we can.

// Defining global flags,
// Bitwise encoded
$RECURSIVE: bw(1 '<<' 0);
$SAFE_MODE: bw(1 '<<' 1);
$MULTI: bw(1 '<<' 2);
$DEBUG: bw(1 '<<' 3);

// Helper function
// Checking for flag status
// ---
// @param [number] $int: flag encoded value
// @param [number] $flag: a global flag
// ---
// @return [bool]
// ---
@function has-flag($int, $flag) {
  @return bw($int '&' $flag) == $flag;
}

// Defining a mixin with many options
// Accepting a single encoded flag as argument
// ---
// @param [list] $int: list of flags, low-level prog' style
// ---
@mixin custom-test($int) {
  $flags: bw($int); // Bitwise parsing flags
  deep: has-flag($flags, $RECURSIVE);
  safe: has-flag($flags, $SAFE_MODE);
  multi: has-flag($flags, $MULTI);
  debug: has-flag($flags, $DEBUG);
}

// Sample test cast
test {
  @include custom-test($RECURSIVE '|' $SAFE_MODE '|' $MULTI);
}

test {
  deep: true;
  safe: true;
  multi: true;
  debug: false;
}
