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[, options])
Get the text content of a node or list of nodes.
The algorithm checks value of node and then alt.
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-markdownfor that.
options.includeImageAlt
Whether to use alt (boolean, default: true)
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.
