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][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:

``sh
npm install mdast-util-compact
`

In Deno with [esm.sh][esmsh]:

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

In browsers with [esm.sh][esmsh]:

`html

`

Use

`js
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:

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

API

This package exports the identifier [compact][api-compact].
There is no default export.

$3

Make an mdast tree compact by merging adjacent text nodes and block quotes.

###### Parameters

* tree ([Node][node])
— tree to change

###### Returns

Nothing (undefined).

Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports no additional types.

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.

Security

Use of mdast-util-compact does not involve [hast][] or user content so
there are no openings for [cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss] attacks.
