ya-bbcode

Yet another BBCode parser. npm install ya-bbcode --save

Usage

const yabbcode = require('ya-bbcode');
const parser = new yabbcode();

const bbc = '[url=https://nodecraft.com]Visit Nodecraft[/url]';
parser.parse(bbc);
// <a href="https://nodecraft.com">Visit Nodecraft</a>

Add Custom Tags

parser.registerTag('url', {
	type: 'replace',
	open: (attr) => {
		return `<a href="${attr || '#'}" rel="noopener norefer">`;
	},
	close: '</a>'
});

// Remove all default or registered tags
parser.clearTags();

Why another BBCode Parser?

• Supports nested BBCode
• Has no dependencies
• All BBCode is replaced in a nested format, meaning that parent nodes are parsed before children.
• Allows custom tags to be replaced or added.

Roadmap

• Performance improvements
• Clean code up for improved readability
• Improve docs

Changelog

4.0.0

• By default, any HTML input is now escaped to prevent possible security issues from untrusted input. If you need to disable this for any reason (for the behaviour of previous versions), construct ya-bbcode like this:

const parser = new yabbcode({sanitizeHtml: false});
