hast-util-from-dom
Advanced tools
hast utility to transform from a DOM tree.
This package is a utility that takes a DOM tree (from the actual DOM or from
things like jsdom) as input and turns it into a hast (HTML)
syntax tree.
You can use this project when you want to use hast in browsers. This package is very small, but it does so by:
The hast utility hast-util-to-dom does the inverse of this
utility.
It turns hast into a DOM tree.
The rehype plugin rehype-dom-parse wraps this utility to
parse HTML with DOM APIs.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install hast-util-from-dom
In Deno with esm.sh:
import {fromDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-from-dom@5'
In browsers with esm.sh:
<script type="module">
import {fromDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-from-dom@5?bundle'
</script>
Say our page example.html looks as follows:
<!doctype html>
<title>Example</title>
<body>
<main>
<h1>Hi</h1>
<p><em>Hello</em>, world!</p>
</main>
<script type="module">
import {fromDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-from-dom@4?bundle'
const hast = fromDom(document.querySelector('main'))
console.log(hast)
</script>
Now running open example.html prints the following to the console:
{type: "element", tagName: "main", properties: {}, children: Array}
This package exports the identifier fromDom.
There is no default export.

AfterTransformCallback called when each node is transformed (TypeScript type).
Nothing.

It exports the additional types AfterTransform and
Options.
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, hast-util-from-dom@^5,
compatible with Node.js 16.
Use of hast-util-from-dom itself is safe but see other utilities for more
information on potential security problems.

— serialize hast as HTMLhast-util-to-dom
— create DOM trees from hastThe `rehype-parse` package is used to parse HTML into a HAST tree directly from an HTML string. Unlike `hast-util-from-dom`, which converts existing DOM nodes to HAST, `rehype-parse` works directly with HTML strings and is part of the unified collective of tools for processing content.
