AgnosticHTML

AgnosticHTML is a lightweight utility for safely parsing HTML strings into DOM nodes, avoiding the use of innerHTML for security reasons. It provides a safe alternative for embedding dynamic HTML content into the DOM while offering configurable debugging capabilities for console.log and console.warn.

Installation

To install AgnosticHTML using npm, run the following command:

npm install agnostic-html

Usage

To use AgnosticHTML, import the agnosticHTML function and configure it to enable or disable debug messages. After configuration, you can safely insert HTML content into the DOM without using innerHTML.

Example:

import { agnosticHTML } from 'agnostic-html';

// Configure AgnosticHTML with debug options
window.agnosticHTML = agnosticHTML({ debugLog: true, debugWarn: true });

// Insert HTML content into a specific DOM element
window.agnosticHTML(
  \`
  <button type="button" class="text-white bg-blue-700 hover:bg-blue-800 focus:ring-4 focus:ring-blue-300 font-medium rounded-lg text-sm px-5 py-2.5 me-2 mb-2 dark:bg-blue-600 dark:hover:bg-blue-700 focus:outline-none dark:focus:ring-blue-800">AgnosticHTML Button</button>
  \`,
  "#html-selector"
);

In this example, AgnosticHTML inserts a button into the element with the ID #html-selector. If the element does not exist, a warning will be shown in the console, depending on the debug settings.

Default Target (without specifying a container):

If you don't specify a custom container (e.g., #html-selector), the content will be inserted into the <body> element by default:

// Insert HTML content into the <body> element by default
window.agnosticHTML(
  \`
  <button type="button" class="text-white bg-blue-700 hover:bg-blue-800 focus:ring-4 focus:ring-blue-300 font-medium rounded-lg text-sm px-5 py-2.5 me-2 mb-2 dark:bg-blue-600 dark:hover:bg-blue-700 focus:outline-none dark:focus:ring-blue-800">AgnosticHTML Button</button>
  \`
);

Disable Warns and/or Logs

AgnosticHTML allows you to control the appearance of console.log and console.warn messages through optional flags. You can enable or disable these messages as needed using the following options:

  • debugLog: Controls the appearance of informational messages (console.log). It can be set to true or false.
  • debugWarn: Controls the appearance of warning messages (console.warn). It can be set to true or false.

By default, both flags are disabled.

Example usage:

Show only warns on console:

window.agnosticHTML = agnosticHTML({ debugLog: false, debugWarn: true });

Show only debug messages on console:

window.agnosticHTML = agnosticHTML({ debugLog: true, debugWarn: false });

Doesn't show any message:

window.agnosticHTML = agnosticHTML({ debugLog: false, debugWarn: false });
