hast utility to create an element from a simple CSS selector
The hast-util-parse-selector npm package is a utility for parsing CSS selectors into HAST (Hypertext Abstract Syntax Tree) elements. It allows developers to convert CSS-like selectors into HAST nodes, which can then be manipulated or inspected within JavaScript. This is particularly useful when working with virtual DOMs or when generating HTML content dynamically.
Parsing simple selectors
This feature allows for the parsing of simple CSS selectors into HAST nodes. The example demonstrates parsing a selector for a `div` element with an ID of `id` and a class of `className`.
const parseSelector = require('hast-util-parse-selector');
const h = parseSelector('div#id.className');
console.log(h);
Parsing selectors with attributes
This feature enables parsing of selectors that include attributes. The example shows how to parse a selector for an `input` element with a `type` attribute of `text` and a class of `className`.
const parseSelector = require('hast-util-parse-selector');
const h = parseSelector('input[type=text].className');
console.log(h);
Customizing the tag name
This feature allows for customization of the tag name when it is not specified in the selector. The example demonstrates setting a default tag name of `span` for a selector that only specifies a class name.
const parseSelector = require('hast-util-parse-selector');
const h = parseSelector('.className', {tagName: 'span'});
console.log(h);
postcss-selector-parser is a parser for CSS selectors that allows for manipulation and inspection of CSS selectors. It is similar to hast-util-parse-selector in its parsing capabilities but is tailored more towards CSS processing and transformation rather than converting selectors into HAST nodes.
css-what is a fast CSS selector parser that converts selectors into an abstract syntax tree (AST). While it shares the parsing aspect with hast-util-parse-selector, css-what focuses on CSS selectors for the purpose of selector querying and manipulation rather than generating HAST nodes.

This package is a tiny utility that helps create elements.
This utility is super niche.
You probably want the more powerful hastscript
or
hast-util-from-selector
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install hast-util-parse-selector
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {parseSelector} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-parse-selector@4'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {parseSelector} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-parse-selector@4?bundle'
</script>
import {parseSelector} from 'hast-util-parse-selector'
console.log(parseSelector('.quux#bar.baz.qux'))
Yields:
{ type: 'element',
tagName: 'div',
properties: { id: 'bar', className: [ 'quux', 'baz', 'qux' ] },
children: [] }
This package exports the identifier parseSelector
.
There is no default export.
parseSelector(selector?[, defaultTagName])
Create a hast element from a simple CSS selector.
selector
(string
, optional)
— simple CSS selector, can contain a tag name (foo
), classes (.bar
),
and an ID (#baz
), multiple classes are allowed, uses the last ID if
multiple IDs are founddefaultTagName
(string
, default: 'div'
)
— tag name to use if selector
does not specify oneBuilt element (Element
).
This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.
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-parse-selector@^4
, compatible with Node.js 16.
Improper use of the selector
or defaultTagName
can open you up to a
cross-site scripting (XSS) attack as the value of tagName
, when
resolving to script
, injects a script
element into the syntax tree.
Do not use user input in selector
or use
hast-util-santize
.
