html-fairy

A simple, tiny, and XSS-protected tool for creating HTML structures from strings and arguments.

Installation

npm install @joyned/html-fairy

Usage

import htmlFairy from "@joyned/html-fairy";

const element = htmlFairy`<div data-attribute="value">Content</div>`;

Any argument that is an HTML element will be included in the resulting structure in the same position as the corresponding placeholder in the template string. Non-element arguments will be converted to HTML-escaped strings and included in the resulting structure.

import htmlFairy from "@joyned/html-fairy";

const value = 'foo';
const element = htmlFairy`<div data-attribute="${value}">Content</div>`;

Arrays of elements can also be passed as arguments, and the resulting structure will include all the elements from the array in the correct nested position.

import htmlFairy from "@joyned/html-fairy";

const list = ['a', 'b', 'c'].map((x) => htmlFairy`<li>${x}</li>`);
const element = htmlFairy`<ul>${list}</ul>`;

It's prevent XSS by default.

import htmlFairy from "@joyned/html-fairy";

const evilUserInput = '<script>alert("XSS")</script>';
const someElement = htmlFairy`<div>no xss</div>`;
const element = htmlFairy`<div>${someElement}${evilUserInput}</div>`;
