What is this?

This package is a unified (retext) plugin that defines how to take a syntax tree as input and turn it into serialized natural language. When it’s used, natural language is serialized as the final result.

See the monorepo readme for info on what the retext ecosystem is.

When should I use this?

This plugin adds support to unified for serializing natural language. You can alternatively use retext instead, which combines unified, retext-latin, and this plugin.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, 16.0+, or 18.0+), install with npm:

npm install retext-stringify

In Deno with esm.sh:

import retextStringify from 'https://esm.sh/retext-stringify@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import retextStringify from 'https://esm.sh/retext-stringify@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import retextEnglish from 'retext-english'
import retextProfanities from 'retext-profanities'
import retextEmoji from 'retext-emoji'
import retextStringify from 'retext-stringify'

const file = await unified()
  .use(retextEnglish)
  .use(retextProfanities)
  .use(retextEmoji, {convert: 'encode'})
  .use(retextStringify)
  .process('He’s set on beating your butt for sheriff! :cop:')

console.log(String(file))
console.error(reporter(file))

Yields:

He’s set on beating your butt for sheriff! 👮
