absolution
accepts HTML and a base URL, and returns HTML with absolute URLs. Great for generating valid RSS feeds.
absolution
is not too picky about your HTML.
Requirements
absolution
is intended for use with Node. That's pretty much it. All of its npm dependencies are pure JavaScript. absolution
is built on the excellent htmlparser2
module.
How to use
npm install absolution
var absolution = require('absolution');
var dirty = '<a href="/foo">Foo!</a>';
var clean = absolution(dirty, 'http://example.com');
// clean is now:
// <a href="http://example.com/foo">Foo!</a>
Boom!
If you want to do further processing of each absolute URL, you can also pass a decorator function:
var clean = absolution(dirty, 'http://example.com', {
decorator: function(url) {
return 'http://mycoolthing.com?url=' + encodeURIComponent(url);
}
});
Having issues with SVG markup?
How can I keep SVG self-closing tags intact?
You can add custom self-closing tags via the selfClosing
option:
var absolution = require('absolution');
var dirty = `
<svg width="100" height="100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<a href="/docs/Web/SVG/Element/circle">
<circle cx="50" cy="40" r="35"/>
</a>
<path d="M 10 10 H 90 V 90 H 10 L 10 10"/>
<circle cx="10" cy="90" r="2" fill="red"/>
</svg>
`;
var clean = absolution(dirty, 'http://example.com', {
selfClosing: [
// keep default `selfClosing` tags:
...absolution.defaults.selfClosing,
// add custom tags:
'path',
'circle'
]
});
// clean is now:
// <svg width="100" height="100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
// <a href="http://example.com/docs/Web/SVG/Element/circle">
// <circle cx="50" cy="40" r="35" />
// </a>
// <path d="M 10 10 H 90 V 90 H 10 L 10 10" />
// <circle cx="10" cy="10" r="2" fill="red" />
// </svg>
