An extensible BBCode parser.
npm install xbbcodexbbcode.js
==========
This is a JavaScript version of XBBCode.
xbbcode parses arbitrary text to find a properly nested tree of BBCode tags in
square brackets, and renders these tags according to markup strings and
rendering callbacks that it has been given during parser creation.
Usage
=====
xbbcode.js creates an XBBCode class, which is also its only export.
(This way, the module can be used both via require() and by simple inclusion
in a web page.)
To create a parser, this class is instantiated with a single argument
containing the mapping of BBCode tags to output, in the form of plugins
described below:
plugins ::= { name : renderer }*
name ::= string (must match /\w+/)
renderer ::= string | function
A string renderer consists of any text with the following optional placeholders:{content}, {option}, {name}, {attribute.*} or {source} for any attribute name.
* In [tag1=abc]xyz[/tag1], {option} is abc and {content} is xyz.[tag2 abc="xyz"][tag3][/tag3][/tag2]
* In , {attribute.abc} is xyz,{source}
is [tag3][/tag3], and {content} is whatever [tag3][/tag3]
is rendered as.
The {name} placeholder is replaced with the tag name.
A function renderer receives a BBCodeElement instance as its only argument.
This object has the following methods, whose return values match the values
in the previous section:
- getName()
- getContent()
- getOption()
- getAttribute(key)
- getSource()
Sample
------
const XBBCode = require('xbbcode');
const filter = XBBCode.create({
b: '{content}',
quote: '{content}
',
code: '{content}',
url: tag =>
('),
+ tag.getContent()
+ '
img: '',
});
input = '[quote][code][url=http://example.org/][img]http://example.org/[b]image[/b].png[/img][/code][/url][/quote]';
console.log(filter(input));
// Note that the [url] tag is improperly nested; it closes after the [code] tag.
// It will therefore not be rendered, to avoid generating improperly
// nested output markup.
// The [img] tag is set not to allow BBCode inside it,
// Which prevents the [b] tag from being rendered.
// "
"[url=http://example.org/][/url]
The recommended way to use xbbcode.js is to import the src/xbbcode.js file.
On legacy platforms, it may be necessary to run make, which uses Babel to./xbbcode.js` in the
translate the file to a pre-ES2015 syntax, and then use
root folder.
