GitHub - mohsen1/posthtml: PostHTML is a tool to transform HTML/XML with JS plugins

PostHTML is a tool for transforming HTML/XML with JS plugins. PostHTML itself is very small. It includes only a HTML parser, a HTML node tree API and a node tree stringifier.

All HTML transformations are made by plugins. And these plugins are just small plain JS functions, which receive a HTML node tree, transform it, and return a modified tree.

For more detailed information about PostHTML in general take a look at the docs.

API

Sync

import posthtml from 'posthtml'

const html = `
  <component>
    <title>Super Title</title>
    <text>Awesome Text</text>
  </component>
`

const result = posthtml()
  .use(require('posthtml-custom-elements')())
  .process(html, { sync: true })
  .html

console.log(result)

<div class="component">
  <div class="title">Super Title</div>
  <div class="text">Awesome Text</div>
</div>

⚠️ Async Plugins can't be used in sync mode and will throw an Error. It's recommended to use PostHTML asynchronously whenever possible.

Async

import posthtml from 'posthtml'

const html = `
  <html>
    <body>
      <p class="wow">OMG</p>
    </body>
  </html>
`

posthtml(
  [
    require('posthtml-to-svg-tags')(),
    require('posthtml-extend-attrs')({
      attrsTree: {
        '.wow' : {
          id: 'wow_id',
          fill: '#4A83B4',
          'fill-rule': 'evenodd',
          'font-family': 'Verdana'
        }
      }
    })
  ])
  .process(html/*, options */)
  .then((result) =>  console.log(result.html))

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <text
    class="wow"
    id="wow_id"
    fill="#4A83B4"
    fill-rule="evenodd" font-family="Verdana">
      OMG
  </text>
</svg>

Directives

import posthtml from 'posthtml'

const php = `
  <component>
    <title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
    <text><?php echo $article; ?></text>
  </component>
`

const result = posthtml()
  .use(require('posthtml-custom-elements')())
  .process(html, {
    directives: [
      { name: '?php', start: '<', end: '>' }
    ]
  })
  .html

console.log(result)

<div class="component">
  <div class="title"><?php echo $title; ?></div>
  <div class="text"><?php echo $article; ?></div>
</div>

CLI

"scripts": {
  "posthtml": "posthtml -o output.html -i input.html -c config.json"

import { task, src, dest } from 'gulp'

task('html', () => {
  let path

  const plugins = [ require('posthtml-include')({ root: `${path}` }) ]
  const options = {}

  src('src/**/*.html')
    .pipe(tap((file) => path = file.path))
    .pipe(posthtml(plugins, options))
