CSSPropertyRule: name property

Baseline 2024

Newly available

Since July 2024, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.

The read-only name property of the CSSPropertyRule interface represents the property name, this being the serialization of the name given to the custom property in the @property rule's prelude.

Value

A string.

Examples

This stylesheet contains a single @property rule. The first CSSRule returned will be a CSSPropertyRule representing this rule. The name property returns the string "--property-name", which is the name given to the custom property in CSS.

css
@property --property-name {
  syntax: "<color>";
  inherits: false;
  initial-value: #c0ffee;
}
js
let myRules = document.styleSheets[0].cssRules;
console.log(myRules[0].name); //the string "--property-name"
