What is this?

This package is a utility that lets you make a tree, after changes, more similar to how it would be parsed.

When should I use this?

Probably never! You should try and keep your trees clean yourself.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install mdast-util-compact

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {compact} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-compact@5'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {compact} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-compact@5?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {u} from 'unist-builder'
import {compact} from 'mdast-util-compact'

const tree = u('strong', [u('text', 'alpha'), u('text', ' '), u('text', 'bravo')])

compact(tree)

console.log(tree)

Yields:

{
  type: 'strong',
  children: [ { type: 'text', value: 'alpha bravo' } ]
}

API

This package exports the identifier compact. There is no default export.

compact(tree)

Make an mdast tree compact by merging adjacent text nodes and block quotes.

Parameters

• tree (Node) — tree to change

Returns

Nothing (undefined).

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.

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, mdast-util-compact@^5, compatible with Node.js 16.

Security

Use of mdast-util-compact does not involve hast or user content so there are no openings for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
