CloudFlare Workers: Easy HTML

A wrapper around HTMLRewriter that makes it easy to use and ultra fast!

How to use

Here is an example use case for EasyHTML.

import { $ } from 'cfw-easy-html'

addEventListener("fetch", event => {
    event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request))
})
  
async function handleRequest(request) {
    // This API was designed to combine as many operations.
    // That is why this looks different to how you might see it in JQuery.

    // The way the code is written here is for ease of reading.
    const changedHTML = new $(
        await fetch('https://example.com')
    )
    .find('p')
    .addClass('text-grey-700')
    .setContent('This is the new content for all P tags.')

    .find('p:nth-of-type(1)')
    .setContent('This is the first paragraph found in the document')

    var users = ['Bob', 'Jane']

    users.forEach(u => {
        // we can add changes without being in the main chain.
        // note: the document wont change until you commit or execute.
        // if you look for elements that are added during the chain, make
        // sure to commit the existing changes before looking otherwise it
        // will be silently discarded.

        changedHTML.find('p:nth-of-type(1)').after(`<b>${u}</b>`)
    })
    
    // EasyHTML returns a response object so you can
    // just return it right away.
    return changedHTML.execute()

    // Avg cpu time for this snippet is 0.7ms.
}

Reference

Transformation operations

All of these functions are run one after another to form one big "chain". Behind the scenes, these transformation operations are not executed on until the user calls the execute or commit functions. If you insert HTML, you wont be able to find it using EasyHTML until you commit.

Target operations

$.find(CSSSelector: String)

Finds an element with the selector. Supports CSS queries.

Custom operations

$.forEach(element: HTMLRewriterElement)

Runs a function for each element we found. Supports sync and async so you can fetch data based on element input.

$('<b>hi</b>')
.find('b')
.forEach(async (element) => {
    element.setInnerContent(await fetch(...))
})
.execute()

Class operations

$.addClass(classList: String, options: { append: true })

Adds the classList to the start/end of the element. If append is true it will add the class list to the end of the elements existing classes. If set to false, it will prepend the new class list.

$.removeClass(class: String)

Finds and removes a class from the element. Must match the exact string or it wont be removed. You can match multiple classes but it must match what the element shows.

$.setClass(classList: String)

Will remove all classes on the element and set the class list to the new value.

Content operations

$.setContent(content: String, options: { html: false })

Sets the selected elements internal content to the new value. Will sanitize the content for HTML fragments unless options.html is set to true.

$.removeContent()

Removes all of the children and text nodes inside the element.

Element operations

$.before(content: String, options: { html: false })

Inserts the content after the element in the document tree. Will sanitize the content for HTML fragments unless options.html is set to true.

$.after(content: String, options: { html: false })

Inserts the content after the element in the document tree. Will sanitize the content for HTML fragments unless options.html is set to true.

$.prepend(content: String, options: { html: false })

Inserts the content as the first child of the element in the document tree. Will sanitize the content for HTML fragments unless options.html is set to true.

$.append(content: String, options: { html: false })

Inserts the content as the last child of the element in the document tree. Will sanitize the content for HTML fragments unless options.html is set to true.

$.setAttribute(attributeName: String, value: String)

Sets the attribute on the elements selected. Can be used to inject style, data-, or any number of other HTML attributes. Does not sanitize attribute values, please validate them before setting.
