Lyra Block Tools
Various tools for processing Lyra block content
Interface
Let's start with a complete example:
import Schema from '@lyra/schema'
import blockTools from '@lyra/block-tools'
// Start with compiling a schema we can work against
const schema = Schema.compile({
name: 'myBlog',
types: [
{
type: 'object',
name: 'blogPost',
fields: [
{
title: 'Title',
type: 'string',
name: 'title'
},
{
title: 'Body',
name: 'body',
type: 'array',
of: [{type: 'block'}]
}
]
}
]
})
// The compiled schema type for the content type that holds the block array
const blockContentType = defaultSchema
.get('blogPost')
.fields.find(field => field.name === 'body').type
// Convert HTML to blocks
const blocks = blockTools.htmlToBlocks(
'<html><body><h1>Hello world!</h1><body></html>',
blockContentType
)
// Convert an editor value to blocks
const blocks = blockTools.editorValueToBlocks(editorValue, blockContentType)
// Convert blocks to a editor value
const slateState = blockTools.blocksToEditorValue(blocks, blockContentType)
// Get the feature-set of a blockContentType
const features = blockTools.getBlockContentFeatures(blockContentType)Methods
htmlToBlocks(html, options) (html deserializer)
This will deserialize the input html (string) into blocks.
Options
blockContentType
A compiled version of the block content schema type. When you give this option, the deserializer will respect the schema when deserializing to blocks. I.e. if the schema doesn't allow h2-styles, all h2 html-elements will deserialized to normal styled blocks.
parseHtml
The HTML-deserialization is done by default by the browser's native DOMParser.
On the server side you can give the function parseHtml
that parses the html into a DOMParser compatible model / API.
JSDOM example
const jsdom = require('jsdom')
const {JSDOM} = jsdom
const blocks = blockTools.htmlToBlocks(
'<html><body><h1>Hello world!</h1><body></html>',
blockContentType,
{
parseHtml: html => new JSDOM(html).window.document
}
)rules
You may add your own rules to deal with special HTML cases.
blockTools.htmlToBlocks(
'<html><body><pre><code>const foo = "bar"</code></pre></body></html>',
blockContentType,
{
parseHtml: html => new JSDOM(html),
rules: [
// Special rule for code blocks (wrapped in pre and code tag)
{
deserialize(el, next) {
if (el.tagName.toLowerCase() != 'pre') {
return undefined
}
const code = el.children[0]
const childNodes =
code && code.tagName.toLowerCase() === 'code'
? code.childNodes
: el.childNodes
let text = ''
childNodes.forEach(node => {
text += node.textContent
})
return {
_type: 'span',
marks: ['code'],
text: text
}
}
}
]
}
)blocksToEditorValue(blocks, blockContentTypeSchema)
Convert blocks to a serialized editor value respecting the input schema.
editorValueToBlocks(slateState, blockContentTypeSchema)
Convert a slate state to blocks respecting the input schema.
getBlockContentFeatures(blockContentType)
Will return an object with the features enabled for the input block content type.
