unist utility to get the source code of a node or position.

Contents

What is this?

This is a tiny utility that lets you get the source code of a node or position.

When should I use this?

This is super tiny utility useful when you want to display the source code of something in a file.

Install

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

npm install unist-util-source

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {source} from 'https://esm.sh/unist-util-source@5'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {source} from 'https://esm.sh/unist-util-source@5?bundle'
</script>

Use

Say our document example.md contains:

> + **[Hello](./example)**
>   world.

…and our module example.js looks as follows:

import {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {source} from 'unist-util-source'

const file = await read('example.md')
const tree = fromMarkdown(String(file))

const strong = tree.children[0].children[0].children[0].children[0].children[0]
console.log(source(file, strong))

…now running node example.js yields:

**[Hello](./example)**

API

This package exports the identifier source. There is no default export.

Parameters
  • file (VFile or string) — file in which value exists
  • value (Node, Position, optional) — value to get

Types

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, unist-util-source@^5, compatible with Node.js 16.
