hast-util-to-dom
hast utility to transform to a DOM tree.
Contents
What is this?
This package is a utility that creates a DOM tree (defaulting to the actual DOM
but also supporting things like jsdom
) from a hast (HTML) syntax
tree.
When should I use this?
You can use this project when you want to turn hast into a DOM in browsers,
either to use it directly on a page, or to enable the use of DOM APIs (such as
querySelector
to find things or innerHTML
to serialize stuff).
The hast utility hast-util-from-dom
does the inverse of
this utility.
It turns DOM trees into hast.
The rehype plugin rehype-dom-stringify
wraps this
utility to serialize as HTML with DOM APIs.
Install
This package is ESM only.
In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install hast-util-to-dom
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {toDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-to-dom@4'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {toDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-to-dom@4?bundle'
</script>
Use
Say our page example.html
looks as follows:
<!doctype html>
<title>Example</title>
<body>
<script type="module">
import {h} from 'https://esm.sh/hastscript?bundle'
import {toDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-to-dom?bundle'
const tree = h('main', [
h('h1', 'Hi'),
h('p', [h('em', 'Hello'), ', world!'])
])
document.body.append(toDom(tree))
</script>
Now running open example.html
shows the main
, h1
, and p
elements on the
page.
API
This package exports the identifier toDom
.
There is no default export.
toDom(tree[, options])
Turn a hast tree into a DOM tree.
Parameters

(Options
, optional)
— configuration
Returns
DOM node (DomNode
).
AfterTransform
Callback called when each node is transformed (TypeScript type).
Parameters
hastNode
(HastNode
)
— hast node that was handleddomNode
(DomNode
)
— corresponding DOM node
Returns
Nothing.
Options
Configuration (TypeScript type).
Fields
afterTransform
(AfterTransform
, optional)
— callback called when each node is transformeddocument
(Document
, default: globalThis.document
)
— document interface to use.fragment
(boolean
, default: false
)
— whether to return a DOM fragment (true
) or a whole document (false
)namespace
(string
, default: depends)

Syntax tree
The syntax tree is hast.
Types
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
It exports the additional types AfterTransform
and
Options

Compatibility
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-to-dom@^4
,
compatible with Node.js 16.
Security
Use of hast-util-to-dom
can open you up to a
cross-site scripting (XSS) attack if the hast tree is unsafe.
Use hast-util-santize
to make the hast tree safe.
