What is this?
This package is a tiny utility that lets you find definitions.
When should I use this?
This utility can be useful because definitions can occur after the things that reference them. It’s small and protects against prototype pollution.
Install
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install mdast-util-definitions
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {definitions} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-definitions@6'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {definitions} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-definitions@6?bundle'
</script>
Use
import {definitions} from 'mdast-util-definitions'
import {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown'
const tree = fromMarkdown('[example]: https://example.com "Example"')
const definition = definitions(tree)
definition('example')
// => {type: 'definition', 'title': 'Example', …}
definition('foo')
// => undefined
API
This package exports the identifier definitions
.
There is no default export.
definitions(tree)
Find definitions in tree
.
Uses CommonMark precedence, which means that earlier definitions are preferred over duplicate later definitions.
Parameters
tree
(Node
) — tree to check
Returns
Getter (GetDefinition
).
GetDefinition
Get a definition by identifier (TypeScript type).
Parameters
identifier
(string
, optional) — identifier of definition
Returns
Definition corresponding to identifier
(Definition
) or
undefined
.
Types
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
It exports the additional type GetDefinition
.
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-definitions@^6
, compatible with Node.js 16.
Security
Use of mdast-util-definitions
does not involve hast or user content so
there are no openings for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
Additionally, safe guards are in place to protect against prototype poisoning.
