Mdast-util-compact NPM

mdast-util-compact

mdast utility to make trees compact by collapsing adjacent text nodes and blockquotes.

What is this?

This package is a utility that lets you make a tree, after changes, more similar to how it would be parsed.

When should I use this?

Probably never! You should try and keep your trees clean yourself.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install mdast-util-compact

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {compact} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-compact@5'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {compact} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-compact@5?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {u} from 'unist-builder'
import {compact} from 'mdast-util-compact'

const tree = u('strong', [u('text', 'alpha'), u('text', ' '), u('text', 'bravo')])

compact(tree)

console.log(tree)

Yields:

{
  type: 'strong',
  children: [ { type: 'text', value: 'alpha bravo' } ]
}

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, mdast-util-compact@^5, compatible with Node.js 16.
