# inline-html

Inline local assets referenced in an HTML document.

[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/inline-html.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/inline-html)
[![Travis](https://img.shields.io/travis/panosoft/inline-html.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/panosoft/inline-html)

This library parses HTML, embeds the contents of local assets that are referenced within that HTML, and returns a new inlined HTML string.

The following HTML elements and CSS data types are inlined:

- Scripts - The source path is read and inlined.

- Linked CSS stylesheets - The stylesheet is read and inlined within a `` element. Note that nested `@import`'s are also inlined.

- Linked LESS stylesheets - The LESS is compiled and the output is inlined within a `<style>` element. Note that `@import`'s are also inlined.

- Images - The source path is replaced with a datauri.

- CSS url data types - The reference path is replaced with a datauri. These can be used in linked stylesheets, style elements, and element style attributes.

Also, `inline-html` calls can be statically evaluated and included in Browserify bundles using the [`html-inlinify`](https://github.com/panosoft/html-inlinify) transform.

## Usage

Assuming ...

- `main.js`

```js
var a = 1;
```

- `main.less`

```css
div { background-image: url('path/to/file'); }
```

- `main.css`

```css
@font-face { src: url('path/to/file'); }
```

Then ...

```js
var co = require('co');
var inline = require('inline-html');

co(function * () {
var html = `
<script src="main.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet/less" href="main.less"/>
<style> div { background-image: url('path/to/file'); }



`;
html = yield inline.html(html);
console.log(html);
/**
var a = 1;
@font-face { src: url('data:...'); }
div { background-image: url('data:...'); }
div { background-image: url('data:...'); }


*/
});
```

## Installation

- [`inline.file`](#file)
- [`Results`](#results)

### inline.html ( html [, options] )

Parses an HTML string and embeds referenced local assets into the HTML.

Returns a `Promise` that is fulfilled with an `html` string or an instance of [`Results`](#results) depending on the value of `options.verbose`.

__Arguments__

- `html` - An HTML string to inline.

- `options`
- `filename` - The filename used to resolve relative paths. If this option is not provided, relative paths will be resolved relative to the process's current working directory.
- `less` - An object containing LESS options to pass to the less compiler. Defaults to `{}`.
- `verbose` - A boolean that determines the promises fulfillment value. Supported values are:
- `true`: An instance of [`Results`](#results).
- `false`: An `html` string. (_Default_)

__Example__

```js
co(function * () {
var html = yield inline.html(``);
console.log(html); //
});
```

### inline.file ( filename [, options] )

Reads an HTML file and embeds referenced local assets into the HTML.

Returns a `Promise` that is fulfilled with an `html` string or an instance of [`Results`](#results) depending on the value of `options.verbose`.

__Arguments__

- `html` - A filename of an HTML file to inline. Relative file paths are resolved relative to the filename's directory.

- `options`
- `less` - An object containing LESS options to pass to the less compiler. Defaults to `{}`.
- `verbose` - A boolean that determines the promises fulfillment value. Supported values are:
- `true`: An instance of [`Results`](#results).
- `false`: An `html` string. (_Default_)

__Example__

```js
co(function * () {
html = yield inline.file(`index.html`);
console.log(html); //
});
```

---


### Results

The `Promise` returned by these functions is optionally fulfilled with a `results` object that has the following properties:

- `html` - The inlined html
- `files` - An array of filenames for the local assets that were inlined.
