domtagger

Example

var html = domtagger({

  // can be html or svg
  type: 'html',

  // how to handle attributes
  // Note: this callback is simplified for example purpose.
  // The node is the attribute owner
  attribute: function (node, name, attribute) {
    return function (value) {
      var type = typeof value;
      if (type === 'boolean' || type === 'function')
        node[name] = value;
      else if (value == null)
        node.removeAttribute(name);
      else
        node.setAttribute(name, value);
    }
  },

  // how to handle generic content
  // Note: this callback is simplified for example purpose.
  // The comment node is the hole placeholder
  // use domdiff or other techniques to handle nodes
  any: function (comment, childNodes) {
    var parentNode = comment.parentNode;
    return function (html) {
      parentNode.innerHTML = html;
    };
  },

  // how to handle cases where content
  // can only be some text
  // The node is one that can only have text
  text: function (node) {
    return function (textContent) {
      node.textContent = textContent;
    };
  },

  // OPTIONAL
  // a man in the middle for the output
  // The html string is what will be used to generate the content
  // this is always invoked after sanitizing the template parts
  transform: function (html) {
    // it must return the eventually transformed html
    return html;
  },

  // for adventurous 3rd parts libraries only:
  // previously internally known as `sanitize`,
  // it will run before transform and it must return a *string*
  // that contains domconstants.UID/UIDC in the right place
  // or the whole library will break
  convert: function (template) {
    // see domsanitizer logic
    // https://github.com/WebReflection/domsanitizer/blob/master/esm/index.js
    // or see a possible wrap solution/hint/workaround
    // https://github.com/WebReflection/domtagger/issues/17#issuecomment-526151473
    return template.join(domconstants.UIDC).replace(sani, tize);
  }
