CSSPropertyRule: inherits property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The read-only inherits property of the CSSPropertyRule interface returns the inherit flag of the custom property registration represented by the @property rule, a boolean describing whether or not the property inherits by default.

Value

A boolean.

Examples

This stylesheet contains a single @property rule. The first CSSRule returned will be a CSSPropertyRule representing this rule. The inherits property returns the boolean false, this being the value of the inherits property in the CSS.

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