Rewrite element with [rehype](https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype).

## Installation

This package is [ESM only](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c): Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be `import` instead of `require`.

```bash

npm install rehype-rewrite

```

## Usage

> 🚧  Migrate from rehype-rewrite ~~v2.x~~ to `v3.x`.

> 

> ```diff

> rehype()

> - .use(rehypeRewrite, (node, index, parent) => {})

> + .use(rehypeRewrite, {

> +   rewrite: (node, index, parent) => {}

> + })

> ```

```js

import { rehype } from 'rehype';

import rehypeRewrite from 'rehype-rewrite';

import stringify from 'rehype-stringify';

const html = `
header
`;

const htmlStr = rehype()

  .data('settings', { fragment: true })

  .use(rehypeRewrite, {

    rewrite: (node, index, parent) => {

      if(node.type == 'text' && node.value == 'header') {

        node.value = ''

      }

    }

  })

  .use(stringify)

  .processSync(html)

  .toString()

```


> ```html

> 
header

> ```

> **`Output:`** 

> 

> ```html

> 


> ```

> 


## Options

```ts

import { Plugin } from 'unified';

import { Root, Element, ElementContent, RootContent } from 'hast';

/** Get the node tree source code string */

export declare const getCodeString: (data?: ElementContent[], code?: string) => string;

export declare type RehypeRewriteOptions = {

  /**

   * Select an element to be wrapped. Expects a string selector that can be passed to hast-util-select ([supported selectors](https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast-util-select/blob/master/readme.md#support)).

   * If `selector` is not set then wrap will check for a body all elements.

   */

  selector?: string;

  /** Rewrite Element. */

  rewrite(node: Root | RootContent, index: number | null, parent: Root | Element | null): void;

};

declare const remarkRewrite: Plugin<[RehypeRewriteOptions?], Root>;

export default remarkRewrite;

```

### `selector?: string;`

Select an element to be wrapped. Expects a string selector that can be passed to hast-util-select ([supported selectors](https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast-util-select/blob/master/readme.md#support)). If `selector` is not set then wrap will check for a body all elements.

### `rewrite(node, index, parent): void;`

Rewrite element.

  .data('settings', { fragment: true })

  .use(rehypeRewrite, {

    selector: 'h1',

    rewrite: (node) => {

      if (node.type === 'element') {

        node.properties.className = 'test';

      }

    }

  })

  .use(stringify)

  .processSync(html)

  .data('settings', { fragment: true })

  .use(rehypeRewrite, {

    rewrite: (node) => {

      if (node.type == 'element' && node.tagName == 'h1') {

        node.children = [ ...node.children, {

          type: 'element',

          tagName: 'span',

          properties: {},

          children: [

  .use(remark2rehype, { allowDangerousHtml: true })

  .use(rehypeRaw)

  .use(rehypeRewrite, {

    rewrite: (node) => {

      if (node.type == 'element' && node.tagName == 'h1') {
