domify

What is domify?

The domify npm package is a utility that allows you to convert HTML strings into DOM elements. This can be particularly useful for client-side templating, where you need to dynamically create and manipulate DOM elements based on data.

What are domify's main functionalities?

Convert HTML string to DOM element

This feature allows you to convert an HTML string into a DOM element. The code sample demonstrates how to use the `domify` function to convert a simple HTML string into a DOM element and log it to the console.

const domify = require('domify');
const htmlString = '<div><p>Hello, World!</p></div>';
const domElement = domify(htmlString);
console.log(domElement);

Append DOM element to the document

This feature allows you to append the created DOM element to the document. The code sample shows how to convert an HTML string into a DOM element and then append it to the body of the document.

const domify = require('domify');
const htmlString = '<div><p>Hello, World!</p></div>';
const domElement = domify(htmlString);
document.body.appendChild(domElement);

Turn HTML into DOM elements x-browser.

Usage

Works out of the box in the browser:

var domify = require('domify');

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  var el = domify('<p>Hello <em>there</em></p>');
  document.body.appendChild(el);
});

You can also run it in node and iojs. Just pass a custom implementation of document:

var jsdom = require('jsdom').jsdom();

domify('<p>Hello <em>there</em></p>', jsdom.defaultView.document);
