This package is a utility that takes a DOM tree (from the actual DOM or from
things like jsdom) as input and turns it into a hast (HTML)
syntax tree.
You can use this project when you want to use hast in browsers. This package is very small, but it does so by:
- …not providing positional information
- …potentially yielding varying results in different (especially older) browsers
The hast utility hast-util-to-dom does the inverse of this
utility.
It turns hast into a DOM tree.
The rehype plugin rehype-dom-parse wraps this utility to
parse HTML with DOM APIs.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 14.14 and 16.0 ), install with npm:
npm install hast-util-from-domIn Deno with esm.sh:
import {fromDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-from-dom@4'In browsers with esm.sh:
<script type="module">
import {fromDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-from-dom@4?bundle'
</script>Say our page example.html looks as follows:
<!doctype html>
<title>Example</title>
<body>
<main>
<h1>Hi</h1>
<p><em>Hello</em>, world!</p>
</main>
<script type="module">
import {fromDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-from-dom@4?bundle'
const hast = fromDom(document.querySelector('main'))
console.log(hast)
</script>Now running open example.html prints the following to the console:
{type: "element", tagName: "main", properties: {}, children: Array}This package exports the identifier fromDom.
There is no default export.
Transform a DOM tree to a hast tree.
Equivalent hast node (HastNode).
Callback called when each node is transformed (TypeScript type).
Nothing.
Configuration (TypeScript type).
afterTransform(AfterTransform, optional) — callback called when each node is transformed
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
It exports the additional type Options.
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 12.20 , 14.14 , and 16.0 . Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.
Use of hast-util-from-dom itself is safe but see other utilities for more
information on potential security problems.
