Rehype Class Names

Adding classes to elements with rehype. All credit goes to rehype-add-classes but with fixed dependencies plus I wanted to make an npm package :shrug:.

Installation

npm install rehype-class-names

Usage

Example of changing markdown to html with classes

import { unified } from "unified";
import remarkParse from "remark-parse";
import remarkRehype from "remark-rehype";
import rehypeDocument from "rehype-document";
import rehypeFormat from "rehype-format";
import rehypeStringify from "rehype-stringify";

const markDown = `
# header
## sub 1
### sub 2
Profile pictures are important.
`

const processedContent = await unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkRehype)
  .use(rehypeDocument)
  .use(rehypeFormat)
  .use(rehypeStringify)
  .use(addClasses, {
    'h1,h2,h3': 'title',
    h1: 'is-1',
    h2: 'is-2',
    p: 'one two'
  })
  .process(matterResult.content);

This will output

<h1 class="title is-1">header</h1>
<h2 class="title is-2">sub 1</h2>
<h3 class="title">sub 2</h3>
<p class="one two"></p>

API

rehype().use(addClasses, additions])

Add to rehype or unified pipeline with .use, where additions is an object with keys that are the css selectors and the values are a string to add to the class of each found node.

Example:

{
    pre: 'hljs',
    'h1,h2,h3': 'title',
    h1: 'is-1',
    h2: 'is-2',
    p: 'one two'
}

• Results are cumulative: <h1 class="title is-1">
• value is added to existing classes: <h2 class="existing title is-2">sub 2</h2>
• Whole of string indicated by value is added: <p class="one two">

This library uses hast-util-select under the hood. See supported selectors.
