API

.block

Wrapper for creating the handlers for compiling a tag that has *.open and *.close nodes, in a single function call.

Params

• open {String}: The opening tag to render
• close {String}: The closing tag to render
• state {Object}
• handler {Function}: Visitor function to modify the node
• returns {undefined}

Example

breakdance.set('div', utils.block('', ''));
breakdance.set('address', block('\n<address>\n', '\n</address>\n'));
// optionally pass a handler function to access the "parent" node
breakdance.set('abbr', block('<abbr>', '</abbr>', function(node) {
  var attr = utils.toAttribs(node.attribs, ['title']);
  if (attr) {
    node.open = '<abbr' + attr + '>';
  }
}))

.toAttribs

Stringify the attribs for a node.

Params

• attribs {Object}: Object of attributes to stringify
• names {Array}: Array of names to only stringify attributes with those names.
• returns {String}: Returns a string of attributes, e.g. src="foo.jpg"

Example

var str = utils.toAttribs(node.attribs);

.getLang

Attempt to get a "language" value from the given attribs. Used with code/pre tags.

Params

• attribs {Object}: The node.attribs object
• returns {String}

Example

breakdance.set('code', function(node) {
  var lang = utils.getLang(node.attribs);
  // console.log(lang);
});

.formatLink

Formats the link part of a "src" or "href" attribute on the given node.

Params

• node {Object}
• key {String}: Either 'src' or 'href'
• compiler {Object}: Pass the breakdance compiler instance, for state and options.
• returns {String}

Example

// this is how <img> tags are rendered
breakdance.set('img', function(node) {
  var attribs = node.attribs || {};
  if (attribs.src) {
    this.emit('![' + (attribs.alt || '').trim());
    this.mapVisit(node);
    var src = utils.formatLink(node, 'src', this);
    this.emit(']' + src);
    //=> ![foo](bar.jpg)
  }
