hast-util-from-dom
hast utility to transform from a DOM tree.
Contents
What is this?
This package is a utility that takes a DOM tree (from the actual DOM or from
things like jsdom) as input and turns it into a hast (HTML)
syntax tree.
When should I use this?
You can use this project when you want to use hast in browsers. This package is very small, but it does so by:
- …not providing positional information
- …potentially yielding varying results in different (especially older) browsers
The hast utility hast-util-to-dom does the inverse of this
utility.
It turns hast into a DOM tree.
The rehype plugin rehype-dom-parse wraps this utility to
parse HTML with DOM APIs.
Install
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install hast-util-from-domIn Deno with esm.sh:
import {fromDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-from-dom@5'In browsers with esm.sh:
<script type="module">
import {fromDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-from-dom@5?bundle'
</script>Use
Say our page example.html looks as follows:
<!doctype html>
<title>Example</title>
<body>
<main>
<h1>Hi</h1>
<p><em>Hello</em>, world!</p>
</main>
<script type="module">
import {fromDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-from-dom@4?bundle'
const hast = fromDom(document.querySelector('main'))
console.log(hast)
</script>Now running open example.html prints the following to the console:
{type: "element", tagName: "main", properties: {}, children: Array}API
This package exports the identifier fromDom.
There is no default export.

Compatibility
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line, hast-util-from-dom@^5,
compatible with Node.js 16.
Security
Use of hast-util-from-dom itself is safe but see other utilities for more
information on potential security problems.
