A utility for turning raw HTML into React elements.

## Installation

```

npm install --save html2react

```

## Usage

### Basic HTML conversion

If you want to take raw HTML, SVG or any arbitrary XML and turn it into something that you can use in a React application, without using [dangerouslySetInnerHTML](https://facebook.github.io/react/tips/dangerously-set-inner-html.html), then you can simply pass it to `html2react`:

```javascript

import React from 'react'

import { render } from 'react-dom'

import HTML2React from 'html2react'

const html = `

  
Foo

  
Bar

  
Baz

`


render(

  


    {HTML2React(html)}

  
,

  document.getElementById('root')

)

```


**Note:** All attributes but [event handlers](https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/webappapis.html#event-handlers-on-elements,-document-objects,-and-window-objects) will be transferred to the React elements.

### HTML conversion with element overrides

A powerful feature of `html2react` is the ability to target elements in the provided HTML and *override* them with [React components](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/reusable-components.html), using nothing but [CSS selectors](https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#selectors) for the mapping. Super simple!

The following example maps any `` tag in the HTML to the local `Link` component:


```javascript

import React from 'react'

import { render } from 'react-dom'

import HTML2React from 'html2react'

function Link (props) {

  return 

}

const html = `

  
Foo

  
Bar

  
Baz

`

const content = HTML2React(html, {

  a: Link

})


render(

  


    {content}

  
,

  document.getElementById('root')

)

```


The following example maps any `` tag with an `external` class to the local `ExternalLink` component. It also demonstrates a slightly more complex selector that maps only the third `
` tag to a `


` tag that wraps the local `Link` component:

```javascript

import React from 'react'

import { render } from 'react-dom'

import HTML2React from 'html2react'

function Link (props) {

  return 

}

function ExternalLink (props) {

  return 

}

const html = `

  

Foo

  
Bar

  
Baz

  
Qux

`

const content = HTML2React(html, {

  'a.external': ExternalLink,

  'p:nth-of-type(3)': (props) => 
,

  a: Link

})


render(

  


    {content}

  
,

  document.getElementById('root')

)

```
