# handle-node

Simple callback delegator based on DOM Node type.

Provides an alternative to switches, numeric constant-based delegation, and

DOM `NodeIterator`s or `TreeWalker`s.

## Installation

```shell

npm install handle-node

```

### Native ESM

```js

import handleNode from 'handle-node';

```

### CommonJS

```js

const handleNode = require('handle-node');

```

### Browser (any)

```html

```

### Browser (ESM - modern browsers only)

```html

import handleNode from './node_modules/handle-node/dist/index-esm.js';

```

## Usage

Supply a node followed by a handler object whose all optional properties

(human-readable Node type names) should be set to a callback which will

be passed the supplied Node and, always as the last argument, a reference

to the object on which the callbacks exist. The return value will be

`undefined` if a handler is missing, but otherwise will be the result of

invoking the callback which corresponds to the supplied node's type.

Here is a demonstration reimplementing `textContent` (if only element

and text types are known to be present):

```js

const textContent = handleNode(node, { // This object is `textSerializer`

  element ({childNodes}, textSerializer) {

    return [...childNodes].reduce((str, node) => {

      return str + handleNode(node, textSerializer);

    }, '');

  },

  text: ({nodeValue}) => nodeValue

});

```

Other arguments can also be passed in after the

handler object, and these will also be supplied to the callbacks:

```js

const textContent = handleNode(

  node,

  { // This object is `textSerializer`

    element ({childNodes}, arg1, arg2, textSerializer) {

      return [...childNodes].reduce((str, node) => {

        return str + handleNode(node, arg1, arg2, textSerializer);

      }, '');

    },

    text: ({nodeValue}, arg1, arg2) => nodeValue

  }, arg1, arg2

);

```

## API

The handler object can take the following optional properties:

- `element`

- `attribute`

- `text`

- `cdata`

- `entityReference`

- `entity`

- `processingInstruction`

- `comment`

- `document`

- `documentType`

- `documentFragment`

- `notation`
