hastscript
Advanced tools
The hastscript npm package, often abbreviated as 'h', is a utility that allows for the easy creation of HAST (Hypertext Abstract Syntax Tree) nodes. HAST is a virtual DOM representation used for parsing, manipulating, and serializing HTML and XML documents. This package is particularly useful for developers working with virtual DOMs or those who need to manipulate HTML/XML documents programmatically.
Creating elements
This feature allows for the creation of HAST elements. The example demonstrates creating a 'div' element with a class of 'container' and the text 'Hello, world!' as its child.
const h = require('hastscript');
const element = h('div', {className: 'container'}, 'Hello, world!');
Creating elements with children
This feature enables the creation of HAST elements that contain other elements as children. The code sample shows how to create an unordered list ('ul') with two list items ('li') as its children.
const h = require('hastscript');
const list = h('ul', [
h('li', 'Item 1'),
h('li', 'Item 2')
]);
Creating elements with properties
This feature allows for the creation of HAST elements with specific properties. In the example, an anchor ('a') element is created with an 'href' attribute pointing to 'https://example.com' and containing the text 'Visit Example'.
const h = require('hastscript');
const link = h('a', {href: 'https://example.com'}, 'Visit Example');
Similar to hastscript, react-hyperscript provides a way to create React elements using a hyperscript-like syntax. While hastscript is focused on creating HAST nodes for HTML/XML documents, react-hyperscript is tailored for React's virtual DOM.
The virtual-dom package offers a virtual DOM implementation for efficient re-rendering of web interfaces. Unlike hastscript, which is specifically designed for creating HAST nodes, virtual-dom focuses on general virtual DOM functionality, including diffing and patching algorithms.
Snabbdom is a virtual DOM library that is lightweight and extensible. It shares similarities with hastscript in terms of manipulating virtual DOM trees but is more focused on being a core part of user interface rendering and updates, rather than specifically dealing with HAST nodes.
Hyperscript (and virtual-hyperscript
)
compatible DSL for creating virtual HAST trees.
npm:
npm install hastscript
var h = require('hastscript');
var tree = h('.foo#some-id', [
h('span', 'some text'),
h('input', {type: 'text', value: 'foo'}),
h('a.alpha', {
class: 'bravo charlie',
download: 'download'
}, ['delta', 'echo'])
]);
Yields:
{ type: 'element',
tagName: 'div',
properties: { id: 'some-id', className: [ 'foo' ] },
children:
[ { type: 'element',
tagName: 'span',
properties: {},
children: [ { type: 'text', value: 'some text' } ] },
{ type: 'element',
tagName: 'input',
properties: { type: 'text', value: 'foo' },
children: [] },
{ type: 'element',
tagName: 'a',
properties: { className: [ 'alpha', 'bravo', 'charlie' ], download: true },
children:
[ { type: 'text', value: 'delta' },
{ type: 'text', value: 'echo' } ] } ] }
h(selector?[, properties][, children])
DSL for creating virtual HAST trees.
selector
Simple CSS selector (string
, optional). Can contain a tag name (foo
), IDs
(#bar
), and classes (.baz
), defaults to a div
element.
properties
Map of properties (Object.<string, *>
, optional).
children
(List of) child nodes (string
, Node
, Array.<string|Node>
, optional).
When strings are encountered, they are normalised to text
nodes.
