hast-util-from-text
hast utility to get the plain-text value of a node.
This is like the DOMs Node#innerText setter.
You’d typically want to use hast-util-from-string (textContent), but hast-util-from-text (innerText) adds <br> elements instead of line breaks.
Install
npm:
npm install hast-util-from-text
Use
var h = require('hastscript')
var fromText = require('hast-util-from-text')
fromText(h('p'), 'Alpha')
// { type: 'element',
// tagName: 'p',
// properties: {},
// children: [ { type: 'text', value: 'Alpha' } ] }
fromText(h('p', [h('b', 'Bravo'), '.']), 'Charlie')
// { type: 'element',
// tagName: 'p',
// properties: {},
// children: [ { type: 'text', value: 'Charlie' } ] }
fromText(h('p'), 'Delta\nEcho')
// { type: 'element',
// tagName: 'p',
// properties: {},
// children:
// [ { type: 'text', value: 'Delta' },
// { type: 'element', tagName: 'br', properties: {}, children: [] },
// { type: 'text', value: 'Echo' } ] }
API
fromText(node[, value])
If the given node is a literal, set that to the given value or an empty string. If the given node is a parent, its children are replaced with new children: texts for every run of text and <br> elements for every line break (a line feed, \n; a carriage return, \r; or a carriage return + line feed, \r\n). If no value is given (empty string '', null, or undefined), the literal’s value is set to an empty string or the parent’s children are removed.
Security
Improper use can open you up to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack as value is injected into the syntax tree. If operating on a <script> element, value will run in a browser.
Do not use user input in value when operating on script elements or use hast-util-santize.
