unified-doc hast utility to add text offsets to text nodes.


Install

npm install unified-doc-util-text-offsets

Use

Given a hast tree parsed from some HTML content:

import textOffsets from 'unified-doc-util-text-offsets';
 
// html: '<blockquote><strong>some</strong>\ncontent</blockquote>'
const hast = {
  type: 'root',
  children: [
    {
      type: 'element',
      tagName: 'blockquote',
      children: [
        {
          type: 'element',
          tagName: 'strong',
          children: [
            {
              type: 'text',
              value: 'some',
            },
          ],
        },
        {
          type: 'text',
          value: '\ncontent',
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
};
 
expect(textOffsets(hast)).toEqual({
  type: 'root',
  children: [
    {
      type: 'element',
      tagName: 'blockquote',
      children: [
        {
          type: 'element',
          tagName: 'strong',
          children: [
            {
              type: 'text',
              value: 'some',
              data: {
                textOffset: { start: 0, end: 4 },
              },
            },
          ],
        },
        {
          type: 'text',
          value: '\ncontent',
          data: {
            textOffset: { start: 4, end: 12 },
          },
        },
      ],
    },

API

textOffsets(hast)

Interface

function textOffsets(hast: Hast): Hast;

Accepts a hast tree and adds textOffset data to text nodes. Returns a new tree.

A TextOffset for a text node tracks the start and end offset of its text value relative to the textContent representation of the provided hast tree. The textContent representation of a hast tree is the concatenation of all text node values under the tree. The following pseudocode helps visualize this behavior:

const html = '<blockquote><strong>some</strong>\ncontent</blockquote>';
const textContent = 'some\ncontent';
const textNodes = ['some', '\ncontent'];
const textOffsets = [
  { start: 0, end: 4 }, // "[some]\ncontent"
  { start: 4, end: 12 }, // "some[\ncontent]"
];
 
// textOffset data mentioned above attached to text nodes
const withTextOffsets = textOffsets(hast);

  end: number
