🧼 Hyperless

Remove the “H” from HTML. Hyperless is a lightweight library for converting HTML to plain text quickly. It removes the “ML” too I guess... HTML to text and other useful stuff. That’s the idea.

Functions

stripTags

Remove HTML and return text content with a few niceties.

import {stripTags} from '@dbushell/hyperless';
// Pass a chunk of HTML
const text = stripTags('<p>Ceci n’est pas une paragraphe.</p>');

Text in <blockquote> and <q> are wrapped in quotation marks.

excerpt

Generate a text excerpt from HTML content.

import {excerpt} from '@dbushell/hyperless';
// Pass a chunk of HTML
const text = excerpt(html);

Output is context aware trimmed to the nearest sentence, or word, to fit the maximum length as close as possible.

An optional maxLength can be passed as the second argument (default: 300 characters).
