Generate HTML elements from a javascript object.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save html-tag

Originally inspired by an HTML helper in hexo by Tommy Chen.

Usage

var tag = require('html-tag');
tag(name[, attribs, text]);

Params

• tag {String}: Name of the tag to create.
• attribs {Object}: Optional attributes
• text {String|Boolean}: Optional text
• returns {String}: string of HTML

Examples

console.log(tag('a', {href: 'https://sellside.com'}, 'Sellside'));
//=> <a href="https://sellside.com">Sellside</a>

console.log(tag('a', {id: 'anchor'}));
//=> <a id="anchor"></a>

console.log(tag('strong', 'Let\'s dance!'));
//=> <strong>Let's dance</strong>

console.log(tag('div'));
//=> <div></div>

Void elements (self-closing tags)

console.log(tag('img', {src: 'foo.jpg'}));
//=> <img src="foo.jpg">

console.log(tag('br'));
//=> <br>

console.log(tag('br', '\nfoo'));
//=> <br>\nfoo

Force a tag to not render the closing tag by passing boolean false as the last argument (this is sometimes necessary with XML implementations).

console.log(tag('P', 'Some random text...', false));
//=> <P>Some random text...

console.log(tag('P', false));
//=> <P>

Boolean attributes

Boolean attributes are defined by defining the attribute with a boolean value (strictly true or strictly false)

console.log(tag('details', {open: true}));
//=> <details open></details>

console.log(tag('details', {open: false}));
//=> <details></details>

console.log(tag('details', {open: 'false'}));
//=> <details open="false"></details>
