mdast utility to find and replace things.
This package is a utility that lets you find patterns (string
, RegExp
) in text and replace them with nodes.
This utility is typically useful when you have regexes and want to modify mdast. One example is when you have some form of “mentions” (such as /@([a-z][_a-z0-9])\b/gi
) and want to create links to persons from them.
A similar package, hast-util-find-and-replace
does the same but on hast.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install mdast-util-find-and-replace
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {findAndReplace} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-find-and-replace@3'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module"> import {findAndReplace} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-find-and-replace@3?bundle' </script>
import {findAndReplace} from 'mdast-util-find-and-replace' import {u} from 'unist-builder' import {inspect} from 'unist-util-inspect' const tree = u('paragraph', [ u('text', 'Some '), u('emphasis', [u('text', 'emphasis')]), u('text', ' and '), u('strong', [u('text', 'importance')]), u('text', '.') ]) findAndReplace(tree, [ [/and/gi, 'or'], [/emphasis/gi, 'em'], [/importance/gi, 'strong'], [ /Some/g, function ($0) { return u('link', {url: '//example.com#' + $0}, [u('text', $0)]) } ] ]) console.log(inspect(tree))
Yields:
paragraph[8] ├─0 link[1] │ │ url: "//example.com#Some" │ └─0 text "Some" ├─1 text " " ├─2 emphasis[1] │ └─0 text "em" ├─3 text " " ├─4 text "or" ├─5 text " " ├─6 strong[1] │ └─0 text "strong" └─7 text "."
This package exports the identifier findAndReplace
. There is no default export.
findAndReplace(tree, list[, options])
Find patterns in a tree and replace them.
The algorithm searches the tree in preorder for complete values in Text
nodes. Partial matches are not supported.
tree
(Node
) — tree to changelist
(FindAndReplaceList
or FindAndReplaceTuple
) — one or more find-and-replace pairsoptions
(Options
) — configurationNothing (undefined
).
Pattern to find (TypeScript type).
Strings are escaped and then turned into global expressions.
type Find = RegExp | string
Several find and replaces, in array form (TypeScript type).
type FindAndReplaceList = Array<FindAndReplaceTuple>
See FindAndReplaceTuple
.
Find and replace in tuple form (TypeScript type).
type FindAndReplaceTuple = [Find, Replace?]
Configuration (TypeScript type).
ignore
(Test
, optional) — test for which elements to ignoreInfo on the match (TypeScript type).
index
(number
) — the index of the search at which the result was foundinput
(string
) — a copy of the search string in the text nodestack
(Array<Node>
) — all ancestors of the text node, where the last node is the text itselfThing to replace with (TypeScript type).
type Replace = ReplaceFunction | string
See ReplaceFunction
.
Callback called when a search matches (TypeScript type).
The parameters are the result of corresponding search expression:
value
(string
) — whole match...capture
(Array<string>
) — matches from regex capture groupsmatch
(RegExpMatchObject
) — info on the matchThing to replace with:
null
, undefined
, ''
, remove the matchfalse
, do not replace at allstring
, replace with a text node of that valueNode
or Array<Node>
, replace with those nodesThis package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional types Find
, FindAndReplaceList
, FindAndReplaceTuple
, Options
, RegExpMatchObject
, Replace
, and ReplaceFunction
.
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, mdast-util-find-and-replace@^3
, compatible with Node.js 16.
Use of mdast-util-find-and-replace
does not involve hast or user content so there are no openings for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
hast-util-find-and-replace
— find and replace in hasthast-util-select
