emmet-elem

A small standalone library (~2k gzipped) containing the logic behind parsing Emmet syntax and building a caching DOM tree.

The provided functions are emmetSlots(strings, options = undefined), slotted(template, ...nodeData), and emmet(template, ...nodeData).

For the slotted and emmet functions to be compatible with template literal syntax, those are unable to contain options. As the options object is used to specify the document and cache to use for creating Nodes, there exists an extra function with global side-effects setDefDoc(document) that controls which document will be used by default.

emmet function

The emmet function will apply any parameters before returning an Element or DocumentFragment node expanded from the string.

Example 1.1:

const root = emmet`(a#a>(b.clss+c)*3)+d+e>${4 * 2}`;

assert(() => serializeToString(root) == [
    `<a id="a">`,
    `<b class="clss" /><c />`,
    `<b class="clss" /><c />`,
    `<b class="clss" /><c />`,
    `</a><d /><e>8</e>`
].join(""));

Example 1.2:

const root = emmet`(a#a>(b.clss>${
    (paramId, idx, max) => paramId + "<" + idx + "/" + max + ">"
}*2^c>${
    (paramId, idx, max) => paramId + "<" + idx + "/" + max + ">"
})*3)+d+e>${4 * 1}`;

assert(() => serializeToString(root) == [
    `<a id="a">`,
    `<b class="clss">0&lt;0/6&gt;0&lt;1/6&gt;</b><c>1&lt;0/3&gt;</c>`,
    `<b class="clss">0&lt;2/6&gt;0&lt;3/6&gt;</b><c>1&lt;1/3&gt;</c>`,
    `<b class="clss">0&lt;4/6&gt;0&lt;5/6&gt;</b><c>1&lt;2/3&gt;</c>`,
    `</a><d /><e>4</e>`
].join(""));

slotted function

The slotted function will insert the special node emmet-slot at each parameter location and fill those with the given value before returning an Element or DocumentFragment node wrapped together with a list of slots.

Example 2.1:

const { root, slots } = slotted`(a#a>(b.clss+c)*3)+d+e>${4 * 1}`;
slots[0].textNode = "8";

assert(() => serializeToString(root) == [
    `<a id="a">`,
    `<b class="clss">0&lt;0/6&gt;0&lt;1/6&gt;</b><c>1&lt;0/3&gt;</c>`,
    `<b class="clss">0&lt;2/6&gt;0&lt;3/6&gt;</b><c>1&lt;1/3&gt;</c>`,
    `<b class="clss">0&lt;4/6&gt;0&lt;5/6&gt;</b><c>1&lt;2/3&gt;</c>`,
    `</a><d /><e>8</e>`
].join(""));
