The CSSMathMax() constructor creates a new CSSMathMax object which represents the CSS max() function.
Syntax
new CSSMathMax(arg1)
new CSSMathMax(arg1, arg2)
new CSSMathMax(arg1, arg2, /* …, */ argN)
Parameters
arg1, …,argN-
A list of numbers or
CSSNumericValueobjects.
Exceptions
SyntaxErrorDOMException-
Thrown if no arguments are passed.
TypeError-
Thrown if
arg1, …,argNhave incompatible types (for example, mixing a<length>with an<angle>), so a common type cannot be determined for comparison.
Examples
Basic usage
The following code creates a CSSMathMax instance from three values, then reads back its operator and values properties.
const max = new CSSMathMax(CSS.px(10), CSS.em(5), CSS.percent(50));
console.log(max.constructor.name); // "CSSMathMax"
console.log(max.operator); // 'max'
console.log(max.values); // CSSNumericArray {0: CSSUnitValue, 1: CSSUnitValue, 2: CSSUnitValue, length: 3}
console.log(max.values[0]); // CSSUnitValue {value: 10, unit: "px"}
Handling incompatible types
The constructor throws a TypeError if the values don't resolve to a compatible type.
In the following code we mix a length with a time, and log the error.
try {
// Mixes a length (px) with a time (s): incompatible types
new CSSMathMax(CSS.px(10), CSS.s(2));
} catch (e) {
console.log(e instanceof TypeError); // true
console.log(e.message);
}
Empty arguments
The constructor throws a SyntaxError if called with no arguments.
try {
new CSSMathMax();
} catch (e) {
console.log(e instanceof DOMException); // true
console.log(e.name); // "SyntaxError"
}
