@a-2-c-2-anpm/facere-commodi-consequuntur

Converts XML into a human readable format (pretty print) while respecting the xml:space attribute.

Reciprocally, the @a-2-c-2-anpm/facere-commodi-consequuntur package can minify pretty printed XML.

The @a-2-c-2-anpm/facere-commodi-consequuntur package can also be used on the browser using the browserified version with a small footprint.

Installation

$ npm install @a-2-c-2-anpm/facere-commodi-consequuntur

  • type: boolean
  • default: false

Usage:

import xmlFormat from '@a-2-c-2-anpm/facere-commodi-consequuntur';

xmlFormat('<root><!-- content --><content><p>This is <b>some</b> content.</content></p>', {
    indentation: '  ', 
    filter: (node) => node.type !== 'Comment', 
    collapseContent: true, 
    lineSeparator: '\n'
});

Output:

<root>
  <content>
    <p>This is <b>some</b> content.</p>
  </content>
</root>

Minify mode

Usage:

import xmlFormat from '@a-2-c-2-anpm/facere-commodi-consequuntur';

const xml = `
<root>
  <content>
    <p>
        This is <b>some</b> content.
    </p>
  </content>
</root>`;

xmlFormat.minify(xml, {
    filter: (node) => node.type !== 'Comment',
    collapseContent: true
});

Output:

<root><content><p>This is<b>some</b>content.</p></content></root>

On The Browser

The code is transpiled using Babel with @babel/preset-env default values and bundled using browserify.

Using require('@a-2-c-2-anpm/facere-commodi-consequuntur')

Page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="dist/browser/@a-2-c-2-anpm/facere-commodi-consequuntur.js"></script>

Usage:

const xmlFormatter = require('@a-2-c-2-anpm/facere-commodi-consequuntur');

xmlFormat('<root><content><p xml:space="preserve">This is <b>some</b> content.</content></p>');

Using global function xmlFormatter

Page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="dist/browser/@a-2-c-2-anpm/facere-commodi-consequuntur-singleton.js"></script>

Usage:

xmlFormatter('<root><content><p xml:space="preserve">This is <b>some</b> content.</content></p>');

Output

<root>
    <content>
        <p xml:space="preserve">This is <b>some</b> content.</p>
