## What is this?
This is like [`rehype-stringify`][rehype-stringify] but for browsers.
This plugin uses DOM APIs to do its work, which makes it smaller in browsers, at
the cost of not supporting formatting options.
## When should I use this?
Use this package when you want to use `rehype-stringify` solely in browsers.
See [the monorepo readme][rehype-dom] for info on when to use `rehype-dom`.
This plugin is built on [`hast-util-to-dom`][hast-util-to-dom], which is a low
level tool to turn hast syntax trees into DOM nodes.
rehype focusses on making it easier to transform content by abstracting such
internals away.
## Install
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:
```sh
npm install rehype-dom-stringify
```
In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```js
import rehypeDomStringify from 'https://esm.sh/rehype-dom-stringify@4'
```
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```html
<script type="module">
import rehypeDomStringify from 'https://esm.sh/rehype-dom-stringify@4?bundle'
</script>
```
## Use
Say our page `example.html` contains:
```html
<!doctype html>
<title>Example</title>
<body>
<script type="module">
import remarkParse from 'https://esm.sh/remark-parse@11?bundle'
import remarkRehype from 'https://esm.sh/remark-rehype@11?bundle'
import rehypeDomStringify from 'https://esm.sh/rehype-dom-stringify@4?bundle'
import {unified} from 'https://esm.sh/unified@11?bundle'
const file = await unified()
.use(remarkParse)
.use(remarkRehype)
.use(rehypeDomStringify)
.process('# Hello, world!')
console.log(String(file))
</script>
```
…opening it in a browser prints the following to the browser console:
```html
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
```
## API
This package exports no identifiers.
The default export is [`rehypeDomStringify`][api-rehype-dom-stringify].
### `unified().use(rehypeDomStringify[, options])`
Add support for serializing as HTML with DOM APIs.
###### Parameters
* `options` ([`Options`][api-options], optional)
— configuration
###### Returns
Transform ([`Transformer`][unified-transformer]).
### `Options`
Configuration (TypeScript type).
> 👉 **Note**: the default of the `fragment` option is `true` in this package,
> which is different from the value in `rehype-parse`, as this makes more sense
> in browsers.
###### Fields
* `fragment` (`boolean`, default: `true`)
— specify whether to serialize a fragment
* `namespace` (`string`, optional)
— namespace to start with
## Syntax
HTML is parsed and serialized according to what a browser supports (which
*should* be WHATWG HTML).
## Syntax tree
The syntax tree used in rehype is [hast][].
## Types
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional type [`Options`][api-options].
It also registers `Settings` with `unified`.
If you’re passing options with `.data('settings', …)`, make sure to import this
package somewhere in your types, as that registers the fields.
```js
/**
* @import {} from 'rehype-dom-stringify'
*/
import {unified} from 'unified'
// @ts-expect-error: `thisDoesNotExist` is not a valid option.
unified().data('settings', {thisDoesNotExist: false})
```
## 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,
`rehype-dom-stringify@^4`, compatible with Node.js 16.
## Security
Use of `rehype-dom-stringify` can open you up to a [cross-site scripting
(XSS)][xss] attack if dangerous content is used and the result is used with
the actual DOM.
Use [`rehype-sanitize`][rehype-sanitize] to solve that.
