escape-html-template-tag

escape-html-template-tag

Construct string literals that have their substitutions escaped automatically.

Usage

Basic example

import html from 'escape-html-template-tag'
const title = 'All about < & >'
const h1 = html`
  <h1>${title}</h1>
`
// <h1>All about &lt; &amp; &gt;</h1>

Nesting templates

Escaped template literals can be nested and won't be interpollated again.

import html from 'escape-html-template-tag'
const h1 = html`<h1>Hello World</h1>`
const article = html`
  ${h1}
  I'ts me!
`
// <h1>Hello World</h1>
// I'ts me!

Automatically flatten arrays

In case a value is an Array, the items will be individually escaped and concatenated.

import html from 'escape-html-template-tag'
const listOfSymbols = html`
  <ul>
    ${['<', '&', '>'].map(item => html`<li>symbol: ${item}</li>`)}
  </ul>
`
// <ul>
//   <li>symbol: &lt;</li>
//   <li>symbol: &amp;</li>
//   <li>symbol: &gt;</li>
// </ul>

Don't interpollate html from trusted sources with safe()

If you have html strings that already contain markup you can prevent it from being escaped with safe().

import html, { safe } from 'escape-html-template-tag'
const trustedString = '<a href="https://www.google.com">Google</a>'
const navigation = html`
  <div>
    ${safe(trustedString)}
  </div>
`
// <div>
//   <a href="https://www.google.com">Google</a>
// </div>

Join fragments together with join

import html, { join } from 'escape-html-template-tag'
const navigation = html`
  <div>
    ${join(
      ['home', 'about', 'blog'].map(page => html`<a href="/${page}">${page}</a>`),
      ' | '
    )}
  </div>
`
// <div>
//   <a href="/home">home</a> | <a href="/about">about</a> | <a href="/blog">blog</a>
// </div>

Compose templates easily with functions

import html from 'escape-html-template-tag'

const anchor = (text, href) => html`<a href="${href}">${text}</a>`

const list = items => html`
  <ul>
    ${items.map(item => html`<li>${item}</li>`)}
  </ul>
`

const navigation = list(
  anchor('Home', '/home'),
  anchor('About', '/about'),
  anchor('Blog', '/blog')
)
// <ul>
//   <li><a href="&#x2F;home">Home</a></li>
//   <li><a href="&#x2F;about">About</a></li>
//   <li><a href="&#x2F;blog">Blog</a></li>
// </ul>
