What is this?
This package is a unified processor with support for parsing HTML input
and serializing HTML as output by using unified with
rehype-parse
and rehype-stringify
.
See the monorepo readme for info on what the rehype ecosystem is.
When should I use this?
You can use this package when you want to use unified, have HTML as input, and
want HTML as output.
This package is a shortcut for
unified().use(rehypeParse).use(rehypeStringify)
.
When the input isn’t HTML (meaning you don’t need rehype-parse
) or the
output is not HTML (you don’t need rehype-stringify
), it’s recommended to
use unified
directly.
When you’re in a browser, trust your content, don’t need positional info on
nodes or formatting options, and value a smaller bundle size, you can use
rehype-dom
instead.
When you want to inspect and format HTML files in a project on the command
line, you can use rehype-cli
.
Install
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, or 16.0+), install with npm:
npm install rehype
In Deno with Skypack:
import {rehype} from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/rehype@12?dts'
In browsers with Skypack:
<script type="module">
import {rehype} from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/rehype@12?min'
</script>
Use
Say we have the following module example.js
:
import {rehype} from 'rehype'
import rehypeFormat from 'rehype-format'
main()
async function main() {
const file = await rehype()
.use(rehypeFormat)
.process(`<!doctype html>
<html lang=en>
<head>
<title>Hi!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello!</h1>
</body></html>`)
console.error(String(file))
}
…running that with node example.js
yields:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Hi!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello!</h1>
</body>
</html>
API
This package exports the following identifier: rehype
.
There is no default export.
rehype()
Create a new (unfrozen) unified processor that already uses rehype-parse
and
rehype-stringify
and you can add more plugins to.
See unified
for more information.
Examples
Example: passing options to rehype-parse
, rehype-stringify
When you use rehype-parse
or rehype-stringify
manually you can pass options
to use
.
Because both plugins are already used in rehype
, that’s not possible.
To define options for them, you can instead pass options to data
:
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
import {rehype} from 'rehype'
main()
async function main() {
const file = await rehype()
.data('settings', {fragment: true, emitParseErrors: true, preferUnquoted: true})
.process('<div title="a" title="b"></div>')
console.error(reporter(file))
console.log(String(file))
}
…yields:
1:21-1:21 warning Unexpected duplicate attribute duplicate-attribute parse-error
⚠ 1 warning
<div title=a></div>
Syntax
HTML is parsed according to WHATWG HTML (the living standard), which is also followed by browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.
Syntax tree
The syntax tree format used in rehype is hast.
Types
This package is fully typed with TypeScript. There are no extra types exported.
Compatibility
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 12.20+, 14.14+, and 16.0+. Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.
Security
As rehype works on HTML, and improper use of HTML can open you up to a
cross-site scripting (XSS) attack, use of rehype can also be unsafe.
Use rehype-sanitize
to make the tree safe.
Use of rehype plugins could also open you up to other attacks. Carefully assess each plugin and the risks involved in using them.
