Package Exports

mdast-util-to-string

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (mdast-util-to-string) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

mdast-util-to-string

mdast utility to get the plain text content of a node.

Install

This package is ESM only: Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be imported instead of required.

npm:

npm install mdast-util-to-string

Use

import unified from 'unified'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import {toString} from 'mdast-util-to-string'

var tree = unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .parse('Some _emphasis_, **importance**, and `code`.')

console.log(toString(tree)) // => 'Some emphasis, importance, and code.'

API

This package exports the following identifiers: toString. There is no default export.

`toString(node)`

Get the text content of a node or list of nodes.

The algorithm checks value of node, then alt, and finally title. If no value is found, the algorithm checks the children of node and joins them (without spaces or newlines).

This is not a markdown to plain-text library. Use strip-markdown for that.

Security

Use of mdast-util-to-string does not involve hast, user content, or change the tree, so there are no openings for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
