An HTML parser with super powers used by Marko.
Installation
npm install htmljs-parserCreating A Parser
First we must create a parser instance and pass it some handlers for the various parse events shown below.
Each parse event is called a Range and is an object with start and end properties which are zero-based offsets from the beginning of th parsed code.
Additional meta data and nested ranges are exposed on some events shown below.
You can get the raw string from any range using parser.read(range).
import { createParser, ErrorCode, TagType } from "htmljs-parser";
const parser = createParser({
/**
* Called when the parser encounters an error.
*
* @example
* 1╭─ <a><b
* ╰─ ╰─ error(code: 19, message: "EOF reached while parsing open tag")
*/
onError(range) {
range.code; // An error code id. You can see the list of error codes in ErrorCode imported above.
range.message; // A human readable (hopefully) error message.
},

});Finally after setting up the parser with it's handlers, it's time to pass in some source code to parse.
parser.parse("<div></div>");Parser Helpers
The parser instance provides a few helpers to make it easier to work with the parsed content.
// Pass any range object into this method to get the raw string from the source for the range.
parser.read(range);
// Given an zero based offset within the source code, returns a position object that contains line and column properties.
parser.positionAt(offset);
// Given a range object returns a location object with start and end properties which are each position objects as returned from the "positionAt" api.
parser.locationAt(range);Code of Conduct
