rehype-document

rehype plugin to wrap a fragment in a document.
Contents
What is this?
This package is a unified (rehype) plugin to wrap a fragment in a document. It’s especially useful when going from a markdown file that represents an article and turning it into a complete HTML document.
unified is a project that transforms content with abstract syntax trees (ASTs). rehype adds support for HTML to unified. hast is the HTML AST that rehype uses. This is a rehype plugin that wraps a fragment in a document.
When should I use this?
This project is useful when you want to turn a fragment (specifically, some nodes that can exist in a <body> element) into a whole document (a <html>, <head>, and <body>, where the latter will contain the fragment).
This plugin can make fragments valid whole documents. It’s not a (social) metadata manager. That’s done by rehype-meta. You can use both together.
Install
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install rehype-document
In Deno with esm.sh:
import rehypeDocument from 'https://esm.sh/rehype-document@7'
In browsers with esm.sh:
<script type="module">
import rehypeDocument from 'https://esm.sh/rehype-document@7?bundle'
</script>
Use
Say we have the following file example.md:
# Pluto
Pluto is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt.
…and a module example.js :
import rehypeDocument from 'rehype-document'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkRehype from 'remark-rehype'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {unified} from 'unified'
const file = await unified()
.use(remarkParse)
.use(remarkRehype)
.use(rehypeDocument, {title: 'Pluto'})
.use(rehypeStringify)
.process(await read('example.md'))
console.log(String(file))
…then running node example.js yields:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Pluto</title>
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" name="viewport">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Pluto</h1>
<p>Pluto is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt.</p>
</body>
</html>

Example
Example: language and direction
This example shows how to set a language:
import rehypeDocument from 'rehype-document'
import rehypeParse from 'rehype-parse'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import {unified} from 'unified'
const file = await unified()
.use(rehypeParse, {fragment: true})
.use(rehypeDocument, {title: 'פּלוטאָ', language: 'yi', dir: 'rtl'})
.use(rehypeStringify)
.process('<h1>העלא, פּלוטאָ!</h1>')
console.log(String(file))
Yields:
<!doctype html>
<html dir="rtl" lang="yi">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>פּלוטאָ</title>
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" name="viewport">
</head>
<body>
<h1>העלא, פּלוטאָ!</h1>
</body>
</html>
Example: CSS
This example shows how to reference CSS files and include stylesheets:
import rehypeDocument from 'rehype-document'
import rehypeParse from 'rehype-parse'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import {unified} from 'unified'
const file = await unified()
.use(rehypeParse, {fragment: true})
.use(rehypeDocument, {
css: 'https://example.com/index.css',
style: 'body { color: red }'
})
.use(rehypeStringify)
.process('')
console.log(String(file))
Yields:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" name="viewport">
<style>body { color: red }</style>
<link href="https://example.com/index.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Example: JS
This example shows how to reference JS files and include scripts:
import rehypeDocument from 'rehype-document'
import rehypeParse from 'rehype-parse'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import {unified} from 'unified'
const file = await unified()
.use(rehypeParse, {fragment: true})
.use(rehypeDocument, {
js: 'https://example.com/index.js',
script: 'console.log(1)'
})
.use(rehypeStringify)
.process('')
console.log(String(file))
Yields:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" name="viewport">
</head>
<body>
<script>console.log(1)</script>
<script src="https://example.com/index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
This example shows how to define metadata and include links (other than styles):
import rehypeDocument from 'rehype-document'
import rehypeParse from 'rehype-parse'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import {unified} from 'unified'
const file = await unified()
.use(rehypeParse, {fragment: true})
.use(rehypeDocument, {
link: [
{href: '/favicon.ico', rel: 'icon', sizes: 'any'},
{href: '/icon.svg', rel: 'icon', type: 'image/svg+xml'}
],
meta: [{content: 'rehype-document', name: 'generator'}]
})
.use(rehypeStringify)
.process('')
console.log(String(file))
Yields:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" name="viewport">
<meta content="rehype-document" name="generator">
<link href="/favicon.ico" rel="icon" sizes="any">
<link href="/icon.svg" rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
💡 Tip: rehype-meta is a (social) metadata manager.
Compatibility
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, rehype-document@7, compatible with Node.js 16.
This plugin works with rehype-parse version 3+, rehype-stringify version 3+, rehype version 5+, and unified version 6+.
Security
Use of rehype-document can open you up to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack if you pass user provided content in options. Always be wary of user input and use rehype-sanitize.
