## What is this?

This package is a utility that creates a DOM tree (defaulting to the actual DOM
but also supporting things like [`jsdom`][jsdom]) from a [hast][] (HTML) syntax
tree.

## When should I use this?

You can use this project when you want to turn hast into a DOM in browsers,
either to use it directly on a page, or to enable the use of DOM APIs (such as
`querySelector` to find things or `innerHTML` to serialize stuff).

The hast utility [`hast-util-from-dom`][hast-util-from-dom] does the inverse of
this utility.
It turns DOM trees into hast.

The rehype plugin [`rehype-dom-stringify`][rehype-dom-stringify] wraps this
utility to serialize as HTML with DOM APIs.

## Install

This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:

```sh
npm install hast-util-to-dom
```

In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```js
import {toDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-to-dom@4'
```

In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```html

import {toDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-to-dom@4?bundle'

```

## Use

Say our page `example.html` looks as follows:

```html

Example


import {h} from 'https://esm.sh/hastscript?bundle'
import {toDom} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-to-dom?bundle'

const tree = h('main', [
h('h1', 'Hi'),
h('p', [h('em', 'Hello'), ', world!'])
])

document.body.append(toDom(tree))

```

Now running `open example.html` shows the `main`, `h1`, and `p` elements on the
page.

## API

This package exports the identifier [`toDom`][api-to-dom].
There is no default export.

### `toDom(tree[, options])`

Turn a hast tree into a DOM tree.

###### Parameters

* `tree` ([`HastNode`][hast-node])
— tree to transform
* `options` ([`Options`][api-options], optional)
— configuration

###### Returns

DOM node ([`DomNode`][dom-node]).

### `AfterTransform`

Callback called when each node is transformed (TypeScript type).

###### Parameters

* `hastNode` ([`HastNode`][hast-node])
— hast node that was handled
* `domNode` ([`DomNode`][dom-node])
— corresponding DOM node

###### Returns

Nothing.

### `Options`

Configuration (TypeScript type).

###### Fields

* `afterTransform` ([`AfterTransform`][api-after-transform], optional)
— callback called when each node is transformed
* `document` (`Document`, default: `globalThis.document`)
— document interface to use.
* `fragment` (`boolean`, default: `false`)
— whether to return a DOM fragment (`true`) or a whole document (`false`)
* `namespace` (`string`, default: depends)
— namespace to use to create elements

## Syntax tree

The syntax tree is [hast][].

## Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional types [`AfterTransform`][api-after-transform] and
[`Options`][api-options].

## Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line, `hast-util-to-dom@^4`,
compatible with Node.js 16.

## Security

Use of `hast-util-to-dom` can open you up to a
[cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss] attack if the hast tree is unsafe.
Use [`hast-util-santize`][hast-util-sanitize] to make the hast tree safe.
