## What is this?
This package is a small utility that checks that a node is a certain node.
## When should I use this?
Use this small utility if you find yourself repeating code for checking what
nodes are.
A similar package, [`hast-util-is-element`][hast-util-is-element], works on hast
elements.
For more advanced tests, [`unist-util-select`][unist-util-select] can be used
to match against CSS selectors.
## Install
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:
```sh
npm install unist-util-is
```
In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```js
import {is} from 'https://esm.sh/unist-util-is@6'
```
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```html
```
## Use
```js
import {is} from 'unist-util-is'
const node = {type: 'strong'}
const parent = {type: 'paragraph', children: [node]}
is() // => false
is({children: []}) // => false
is(node) // => true
is(node, 'strong') // => true
is(node, 'emphasis') // => false
is(node, node) // => true
is(parent, {type: 'paragraph'}) // => true
is(parent, {type: 'strong'}) // => false
is(node, test) // => false
is(node, test, 4, parent) // => false
is(node, test, 5, parent) // => true
function test(node, n) {
return n === 5
}
```
## API
This package exports the identifiers [`convert`][api-convert] and
[`is`][api-is].
There is no default export.
### `is(node[, test[, index, parent[, context]]])`
Check if `node` is a `Node` and whether it passes the given test.
###### Parameters
* `node` (`unknown`, optional)
— thing to check, typically [`Node`][node]
* `test` ([`Test`][api-test], optional)
— a test for a specific element
* `index` (`number`, optional)
— the node’s position in its parent
* `parent` ([`Node`][node], optional)
— the node’s parent
* `context` (`unknown`, optional)
— context object (`this`) to call `test` with
###### Returns
Whether `node` is a [`Node`][node] and passes a test (`boolean`).
###### Throws
When an incorrect `test`, `index`, or `parent` is given.
There is no error thrown when `node` is not a node.
### `convert(test)`
Generate a check from a test.
Useful if you’re going to test many nodes, for example when creating a
utility where something else passes a compatible test.
The created function is a bit faster because it expects valid input only:
a `node`, `index`, and `parent`.
###### Parameters
* `test` ([`Test`][api-test], optional)
— a test for a specific node
###### Returns
A check ([`Check`][api-check]).
### `Check`
Check that an arbitrary value is a node (TypeScript type).
###### Parameters
* `this` (`unknown`, optional)
— context object (`this`) to call `test` with
* `node` (`unknown`)
— anything (typically a node)
* `index` (`number`, optional)
— the node’s position in its parent
* `parent` ([`Node`][node], optional)
— the node’s parent
###### Returns
Whether this is a node and passes a test (`boolean`).
### `Test`
Check for an arbitrary node (TypeScript type).
###### Type
```ts
type Test =
| Array | TestFunction | string>
| Record
| TestFunction
| string
| null
| undefined
```
Checks that the given thing is a node, and then:
* when `string`, checks that the node has that tag name
* when `function`, see [`TestFunction`][api-test-function]
* when `object`, checks that all keys in test are in node, and that they have
(strictly) equal values
* when `Array`, checks if one of the subtests pass
### `TestFunction`
Check if a node passes a test (TypeScript type).
###### Parameters
* `node` ([`Node`][node])
— a node
* `index` (`number` or `undefined`)
— the node’s position in its parent
* `parent` ([`Node`][node] or `undefined`)
— the node’s parent
###### Returns
Whether this node passes the test (`boolean`, optional).
## Examples
### Example of `convert`
```js
import {u} from 'unist-builder'
import {convert} from 'unist-util-is'
const test = convert('leaf')
const tree = u('tree', [
u('node', [u('leaf', '1')]),
u('leaf', '2'),
u('node', [u('leaf', '3'), u('leaf', '4')]),
u('leaf', '5')
])
const leafs = tree.children.filter(function (child, index) {
return test(child, index, tree)
})
console.log(leafs)
```
Yields:
```js
[{type: 'leaf', value: '2'}, {type: 'leaf', value: '5'}]
```
## Types
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional types [`Check`][api-check],
[`Test`][api-test],
[`TestFunction`][api-test-function].
## 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, `unist-util-is@^6`,
compatible with Node.js 16.
