# Motivation

Prism default classes are sensible but fixed and too generic. This plugin provide some ways to customize those classes to suit your needs. Example usages:

- You want to add namespace for all of them (like `.prism--comment`) to avoid conflict with your existing classes.
- You use a naming convention (like BEM). You want to write classes like `.editor__comment`.
- You use CSS Modules. You want to use your hashed classes, like `.comment_7sh3a`.
- You need more granular control about the classes of certain tokens. You can define functions which will add new classes to tokens, so selectively change the highlighting of certain parts of your code.

# How to use

## Prefix all Prism classes

    Prism.plugins.customClass.prefix('prism--')

## Replace some Prism classes with ones you defined

    Prism.plugins.customClass.map({
    	keyword: 'special-keyword',
    	string: 'string_ch29s',
    	comment: 'comment_93jsa'
    });

Object's keys are the classes you want to replace (eg: `comment`), with their values being the classes you want to use (eg: `my-comment`). Classes which are not specified will stay as they are.

Alternatively you can also pass a function that takes the original class and returns the mapped class. This function can also be used implement language specific mapped classes.
Example:

    Prism.plugins.customClass.map((className, language) => {
    	if (language === 'css') {
    		return cssSpecificMap[className] || className;
    	} else {
    		return className;
    	}
    });

## Add new classes

You can add new classes with per-token and per-language precision.

    Prism.plugins.customClass.add(({content, type, language}) => {
    	if (content === 'content' && type === 'property' && language === 'css') {
    		return 'content-property';
    	}
    });

Note: The given `content` is the inner HTML of the current token. All `<` and `&` characters are escaped and it might contain the HTML code of nested tokens.

# Notes

- Feature functions must be called AFTER Prism and this plugin. For example:

      <!-- 1. load prism -->
      <script src="prism.js"></script>
      <!-- 2. load the plugin if you don't include it inside prism when download -->
      <script src="plugins/custom-class/custom-class.js"></script>
      <!-- 3. call the feature you want to use -->
      <script>
      	Prism.plugins.customClass.map(myClassMap);
      	Prism.plugins.customClass.prefix(myPrefixString);
      </script>

- In most cases, using 1 feature is enough. However, it is possible to use both of them together if you want (Result will be like `.my-namespace--comment_93jsa`).

## CSS Modules Usage:

The initial purpose of this plugin is to be used with CSS Modules. It works perfectly with the class map object returned by CSS Modules. For example:

    import Prism from 'prismjs';
    import classMap from 'styles/editor-class-map.css';
    Prism.plugins.customClass.map(classMap)

# Example

## Prefix and map classes

Input

    <pre class="language-javascript"><code>
    	var foo = 'bar';
    </code></pre>

Options

    Prism.plugins.customClass.map({
    	keyword: 'special-keyword',
    	string: 'my-string'
    });
    Prism.plugins.customClass.prefix('pr-');

Output

    <pre class="language-javascript"><code>
    	<span class="pr-token pr-special-keyword">var</span>
    	foo
    	<span class="pr-token pr-operator">=</span>
    	<span class="pr-token pr-my-string">'bar'</span>
    	<span class="pr-token pr-punctuation">;</span>
    </code></pre>

## Add new classes

Input

    <pre class="language-css"><code>
    a::after {
    	content: '\2b00 ';
    	opacity: .7;
    }
    </code></pre>

Options

    Prism.plugins.customClass.add(({language, type, content}) => {
    	if (content === 'content' && type === 'property' && language === 'css') {
    		return 'content-property';
    	}
    });

Output

    <pre class=" language-css"><code class=" language-css">
    <span class="token selector">a::after</span>
    <span class="token punctuation">{</span>
    	<span class="token property content-property">content</span>
    	<span class="token punctuation">:</span>
    	<span class="token string">'\2b00 '</span>
    	<span class="token punctuation">;</span>
    	<span class="token property">opacity</span>
    	<span class="token punctuation">:</span>
    	 .7
    	<span class="token punctuation">;</span>
    <span class="token punctuation">}</span>
    </code></pre>
