Handler for htmlparser2 that turns pages into a dom

# domhandler [![Node.js CI](https://github.com/fb55/domhandler/actions/workflows/nodejs-test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/fb55/domhandler/actions/workflows/nodejs-test.yml)

The DOM handler creates a tree containing all nodes of a page.
The tree can be manipulated using the [domutils](https://github.com/fb55/domutils)
or [cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio) libraries and
rendered using [dom-serializer](https://github.com/cheeriojs/dom-serializer) .

## Usage

```javascript
const handler = new DomHandler([ <func> callback(err, dom), ] [ <obj> options ]);
// const parser = new Parser(handler[, options]);
```

Available options are described below.

## Example

```javascript
const { Parser } = require("htmlparser2");
const { DomHandler } = require("domhandler");
const rawHtml =
    "Xyz <script language= javascript>var foo = '<<bar>>';</script><!--<!-- Waah! -- -->";
const handler = new DomHandler((error, dom) => {
    if (error) {
        // Handle error
    } else {
        // Parsing completed, do something
        console.log(dom);
    }
});
const parser = new Parser(handler);
parser.write(rawHtml);
parser.end();
```

Output:

```javascript
[
    {
        data: "Xyz ",
        type: "text",
    },
    {
        type: "script",
        name: "script",
        attribs: {
            language: "javascript",
        },
        children: [
            {
                data: "var foo = '<bar>';<",
                type: "text",
            },
        ],
    },
    {
        data: "<!-- Waah! -- ",
        type: "comment",
    },
];
```

## Option: `withStartIndices`

Add a `startIndex` property to nodes.
When the parser is used in a non-streaming fashion, `startIndex` is an integer
indicating the position of the start of the node in the document.
The default value is `false`.

## Option: `withEndIndices`

Add an `endIndex` property to nodes.
When the parser is used in a non-streaming fashion, `endIndex` is an integer
indicating the position of the end of the node in the document.
The default value is `false`.
