hast-util-parse-selector
hast utility to create an element from a simple CSS selector.
Contents
What is this?
This package is a tiny utility that helps create elements.
When should I use this?
This utility is super niche.
You probably want the more powerful hastscript
or
hast-util-from-selector
Install
This package is ESM only.
In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install hast-util-parse-selector
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {parseSelector} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-parse-selector@4'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {parseSelector} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-parse-selector@4?bundle'
</script>
Use
import {parseSelector} from 'hast-util-parse-selector'
console.log(parseSelector('.quux#bar.baz.qux'))
Yields:
{ type: 'element',
tagName: 'div',
properties: { id: 'bar', className: [ 'quux', 'baz', 'qux' ] },
children: [] }
API
This package exports the identifier parseSelector
.
There is no default export.
parseSelector(selector?[, defaultTagName])
Create a hast element from a simple CSS selector.
Parameters
selector
(string
, optional)
— simple CSS selector, can contain a tag name (foo
), classes (.bar
),
and an ID (#baz
), multiple classes are allowed, uses the last ID if
multiple IDs are found
defaultTagName
(string
, default: 'div'
)
— tag name to use if selector
does not specify one
Returns
Built element (Element
).
Types
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
It exports no additional types.
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,
hast-util-parse-selector@^4
, compatible with Node.js 16.
Security
Improper use of the selector
or defaultTagName
can open you up to a
cross-site scripting (XSS) attack as the value of tagName
, when
resolving to script
, injects a script
element into the syntax tree.
Do not use user input in selector
or use
hast-util-santize
.
