What is this?

This package is a unified processor with support for parsing Latin-script natural language as input and serializing it as output by using unified with retext-latin and retext-stringify.

See the monorepo readme for info on what the retext ecosystem is.

When should I use this?

You can use this package when you want to use unified, have Latin-script as input, and as output. This package is a shortcut for unified().use(retextLatin).use(retextStringify). When the input isn’t Latin-script (meaning you don’t need retext-latin), it’s recommended to use unified directly.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, 16.0+, or 18.0+), install with npm:

npm install retext

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {retext} from 'https://esm.sh/retext@8'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {retext} from 'https://esm.sh/retext@8?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
import {retext} from 'retext'
import retextProfanities from 'retext-profanities'
import retextEmoji from 'retext-emoji'

const file = await retext()
  .use(retextProfanities)
  .use(retextEmoji, {convert: 'encode'})
  .process('He’s set on beating your butt for sheriff! :cop:')

console.log(String(file))
console.error(reporter(file))

Yields:

He’s set on beating your butt for sheriff! 👮

  1:26-1:30  warning  Be careful with “butt”, it’s profane in some cases  butt  retext-profanities

⚠ 1 warning

API

This package exports the identifier retext. There is no default export.

retext()

Create a new (unfrozen) unified processor that already uses retext-latin and retext-stringify and you can add more plugins to. See unified for more information.

Syntax tree

The syntax tree format used in retext is nlcst.

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. There are no extra exported types.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 12.20+, 14.14+, 16.0+, and 18.0+. Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.
