mdast utility to find headings and replace the content in their section.
This package is a utility that lets you find a certain heading, then takes the content in their section (from it to the next heading of the same or lower depth), and calls a given handler with the result, so that you can change or replace things.
This utility is typically useful when you have certain sections that can be generated. For example, this utility is used by remark-toc
to update the above Contents
heading.
A similar package, mdast-zone
, does the same but uses comments to mark the start and end of sections.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install mdast-util-heading-range
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {headingRange} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-heading-range@4'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module"> import {headingRange} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-heading-range@4?bundle' </script>
Say we have the following file, example.md
:
…and a module example.js
:
import {read} from 'to-vfile' import {remark} from 'remark' import {headingRange} from 'mdast-util-heading-range' const file = await remark() .use(myPluginThatReplacesFoo) .process(await read('example.md')) console.log(String(file)) /** @type {import('unified').Plugin<[], import('mdast').Root>} */ function myPluginThatReplacesFoo() { return function (tree) { headingRange(tree, 'foo', function (start, nodes, end) { return [ start, {type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Qux.'}]}, end ] }) } }
…now running node example.js
yields:
This package exports the identifier headingRange
. There is no default export.
headingRange(tree, test|options, handler)
Search tree
for a heading matching test
and change its “section” with handler
.
A “section” ranges from the matched heading until the next heading of the same or lower depth, or the end of the document.
If ignoreFinalDefinitions: true
, final definitions “in” the section are excluded.
tree
(Node
) — tree to changetest
(Test
) — same as passing {test: Test}
options
(Options
) — configurationhandler
(Handler
) — handle a sectionNothing (undefined
).
Callback called when a section is found (TypeScript type).
start
(Heading
) — start of section (a heading node matching test
)nodes
(Array<Node>
) — nodes between start
and end
end
(Node
or undefined
) — end of section, if anyinfo
(Info
) — extra infoResults (Array<Node | null | undefined>
, optional).
If nothing is returned, nothing will be changed. If an array of nodes (can include null
and undefined
) is returned, the original section will be replaced by those nodes.
Extra info (TypeScript type).
parent
(Node
) — parent of the sectionstart
(number
) — index of start
in parent
end
(number
or undefined
) — index of end
in parent
Configuration (TypeScript type).
test
(Test
) — test for a headingignoreFinalDefinitions
(boolean
, default: false
) — ignore final definitions otherwise in the sectionTest for a heading (TypeScript type).
When string
, wrapped in new RegExp('^(' + value + ')$', 'i')
; when RegExp
, wrapped in (value) => expression.test(value)
export type Test = RegExp | TestFunction | string
Check if a node matches (TypeScript type).
value
(string
) — plain-text headingnode
(Heading
) — heading nodeWhether this is the heading that is searched for (boolean
, optional).
This package is fully typed with TypeScript. This package exports the types Handler
, Info
, Options
, Test
, and TestFunction
.
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-heading-range@^4
, compatible with Node.js 16.
Improper use of handler
can open you up to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack as the value it returns is injected into the syntax tree. This can become a problem if the tree is later transformed to hast. The following example shows how a script is injected that could run when loaded in a browser.
/** @type {import('mdast-util-heading-range').Handler} */ function handler(start, nodes, end) { return [start, {type: 'html', value: '<script>alert(1)</script>'}, end] }
Yields:
# Foo <script>alert(1)</script> # Baz
Either do not use user input in handler
or use hast-util-santize
.
