What is this?

This package exposes an algorithm to classify characters into 3 categories.

When should I use this?

This package might be useful when you are making your own micromark extensions.

Install

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

npm install micromark-util-classify-character

In Deno with esm.shesmsh:

import {classifyCharacter} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-util-classify-character@1'

In browsers with esm.shesmsh:

<script type="module">
  import {classifyCharacter} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-util-classify-character@1?bundle'
</script>

Use

/**
 * @this {TokenizeContext}
 * @type {Tokenizer}
 */
function tokenizeAttention(effects, ok) {
  return start

  // …

  /** @type {State} */
  function sequence(code) {
    if (code === marker) {
      // …
    }

    const token = effects.exit('attentionSequence')
    const after = classifyCharacter(code)
    const open =
      !after || (after === constants.characterGroupPunctuation && before)
    const close =
      !before || (before === constants.characterGroupPunctuation && after)
    // …
  }

  // …
}

API

This module exports the identifier classifyCharacterapi-classify-character. There is no default export.

classifyCharacter(code)

Classify whether a code represents whitespace, punctuation, or something else.
Used for attention (emphasis, strong), whose sequences can open or close based on the class of surrounding characters.

👉 Note: eof (null) is seen as whitespace.

Parameters

• code (Code)

— code

Returns

Group (constants.characterGroupWhitespace, constants.characterGroupPunctuation, or undefined).

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional 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, micromark-util-classify-character@^2, compatible with Node.js 16. This package works with micromark@^3.

Security

This package is safe. See security.mdsecuritymd in micromark/.githubhealth for how to submit a security report.
