# PSParseHTML

**PSParseHTML** started as a suite of data processing Cmdlets to help [PSWriteHTML](https://github.com/EvotecIT/PSWriteHTML), but it has gained functionality enough to be its own module. Basic usage instructions are described [on this blog post](https://evotec.xyz/formatting-and-minifying-resources-html-css-javascript-with-powershell/).

**PSParseHTML** provides the following ten (10) functions:

- Convert-HTMLToText

- ConvertFrom-HtmlTable

- ConvertFrom-HTMLAttributes (aliases: `ConvertFrom-HTMLTag`, `ConvertFrom-HTMLClass`)

- ConvertFrom-HTML

- Format-CSS

- Format-HTML

- Format-JavaScript

- Optimize-CSS

- Optimize-HTML

- Optimize-JavaScript

The expected input is a string literal or string data read from a file. The output can be PowerShell objects (classes are `HtmlNode` or `AngleSharp.Html.Dom.HtmlElement` depending on the chosen processing engine) or string literals written to `stdout`.

It may not seem like much, but those ten functions are powerful enough to realize robust HTML processing in shell.

## Installation

### Install from PSGallery

```powershell

Install-Module -Name PSParseHTML -AllowClobber -Force

```

Force and AllowClobber aren't necessary but they do skip errors in case some appear.

### Update from PSGallery

```powershell

Update-Module -Name PSParseHTML

```

That's it. Whenever there's a new version you simply run the `Update-Module` command and enjoy. Remember that you may need to close, re-open your **PowerShell** session if you had used the module prior to updating it.

As usual, **remember module updates may break your scripts**: if your scripts work for you in production, retain those versions until you test new versions in a dev environment. I may make small changes which are big enough so that your automated updates will break your scripts. For example, I might make a small rename to a parameter — boom, your code stops working! Be responsible!

## 3rd party references

This module utilizes several external dependencies to do its work. The authors of those libraries have done fantastic work — I've just added some PowerShell to the mix.
