drycleaner

A very tiny library for manipulating HTML entity strings

see a demo here

This library was created to make working with MS Word documents easier, especially if you need to insert html or possibly even color-coded html into the document.

To install

$ npm install drycleaner

API

An instance of the Drycleaner object contains three methods:

• escape escapes the initial string passed.
• unescape unescapes the initial string passed.
• wrap wrappes the initial string passed into a dom element.

Options

wrap takes a single object as its argument. It contains two properties. The result of the object on which wrap was called will become a dom object, not an escaped html string.

el {string}: node name of the html element you wish create.

style {object}: style properties that will be appended inline to the html element wrapper.

var html = new Drycleaner("<b>Hello world</b>");
var processed = html.wrap({
    el: "pre",
    style: {
        background-color: "yellow",
        color: "grey"
    }
})
var result = processed.str;
--> <pre style="background-color: yellow; color: grey"><b>hello world</b></pre>    

escape and unescape can each take a single object as their argument. It contains four properties.

nbsp {boolean}: if set to true, non-breaking white space will be converted to and from " " and   The default value is false.

var html = new Drycleaner("<b>hello world</b>");
var processed = html.escape({ npsp: true });
var result = processed.str;
--> &lt;b&gt;hello&nbsp;world&lt;/b&gt;

except {array}: an array of characters or html entity strings you wish to filter.

var html = new Drycleaner("<b>hello world</b>");
var processed = html.escape({ except: ["<"] });
var result = processed.str;
--> <b&gt;hello world</b&gt;

on {string}: the property you wish to perform work on. Set to str by default.

var html = new Drycleaner("<b>Hello world</b>");
var processed = html.escape({ result: "myResult" })
                    .unescape({ on: "myResult" });
var result = processed.myResult;
--> <b>Hello world</b>

result {string}: the property you wish to set the result of an operation on. Set to str by default.

var html = new Drycleaner("<b>Hello world</b>");
var processed = html.escape({ result: "myResult" });
var result = processed.myResult;
--> &lt;b&gt;hello world&lt;/b&gt;
