xast utility to get the plain text value of a node.

This is like the DOMs Node#textContent getter but there are some deviations. The resulting text is returned.

Install

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

npm:

npm install xast-util-to-string

Use

import {x} from 'xastscript'
import {toString} from 'xast-util-to-string'

var tree = x(
  'ncx',
  {xmlns: 'http://www.daisy.org/z3986/2005/ncx/', version: '2005-1'},
  [
    x('head', [
      x('meta', {name: 'dtb:uid', content: 'urn:isbn:9781234567891'})
    ]),
    x('docTitle', [x('text', 'A Christmas Carol')]),
    x('docAuthor', [x('text', 'Charles Dickens')])
  ]
)

console.log(toString(tree))

Yields:

A Christmas CarolCharles Dickens

API

toString(node)

Utility to get the plain text value of a node. If the node has a value field (cdata, comment, doctype, instruction, or text), returns it. If the node has a children field (root or element), recurses into it to concatenate all texts.

Security

xast-util-to-string does not change the syntax tree so there are no openings for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
