What is this?

This package is a utility that takes nlcst nodes and gets their plain-text value.

When should I use this?

This is a small utility that is useful when you’re dealing with ASTs.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, 16.0+, 18.0+), install with npm:

npm install nlcst-util-to-string

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {toString} from "https://esm.sh/nlcst-util-to-string@3"

In browsers with esm.sh:

</script>

Use

import {toString} from 'nlcst-to-string'

console.log(
  toString({
    type: 'WordNode',
    children: [
      {type: 'TextNode', value: 'AT'},
      {type: 'PunctuationNode', value: '&'},
      {type: 'TextNode', value: 'T'}
    ]
  })
) // => 'AT&T'

API

Parameters
