html-element

A simple HTMLElement shim on the server.

This is a partial implementation of HTMLElement, to get client-side templates (such as hyperscript) working in node!

The current implementation is fully compatible with hyperscript.

Upgrading from v1.x

As of v2.0.0 (Aug 2016), html-element no longer affects the global namespace by default. If you currently rely on require('html-element') to create globals such as document and Element, you should instead require('html-element/global-shim') when upgrading to v2.

For non-global usage, you can import objects directly from the main package, e.g.:

var document = require('html-element').document;

or

import { Element } from 'html-element';

Supported methods

• createElement(nodeName)
• createTextNode(value)
• appendChild(node)
• replaceChild(node)
• removeChild(node)
• insertBefore(new, existing)
• toString()
• setAttribute(name, value)
• getAttribute(name)
• setProperty(name, value)
• getProperty(name)
• innerHTML()
• outerHTML()
• textContent()
• addEventListener(eventType, listenerFunc)
• removeEventListener(eventType, listenerFunc)
• dispatchEvent(event)

Setters update existing objects, otherwise create anew;

• innerHTML
• outerHTML
• textContent
