An extensibile BBCode parser for Node.js and browser
npm install bbcode-parser
var BBCodeParser = require('bbcode-parser');
var parser = new BBCodeParser(BBCodeParser.defaultTags());
var html = parser.parseString('[b]Bold text[/b]');
`
You can also define your own tags:
`
var BBTag = require('bbcode-parser/bbTag');
var bbTags = {};
//Simple tag. A simple tag means that the generated HTML will be content
bbTags["b"] = BBTag.createSimpleTag("b");
//Tag with a custom generator.
bbTags["img"] = BBTag.createTag("img", function (tag, content, attr) {
return "
";
});
//Tag with a custom generator + attributes
bbTags["url"] = BBTag.createTag("url", function (tag, content, attr) {
var link = content;
if (attr["site"] != undefined) {
link = BBCodeParser.escapeHTML(attr["site"]);
}
if (!BBCodeParser.startsWith(link, "http://") && !BBCodeParser.startsWith(link, "https://")) {
link = "http://" + link;
}
return "" + content + "";
});
//A tag that doesn't support nested tags. Useful when implementing code highlighting.
bbTags["code"] = new BBTag("code", true, false, true, function (tag, content, attr) {
return "" + content + "";
});
var parser = new BBCodeParser(bbTags);
`
