PostHTML is a tool for transforming HTML/XML with JS plugins. PostHTML itself is very small. It includes only a HTML parser, a HTML node tree API and a node tree stringifier.
All HTML transformations are made by plugins. And these plugins are just small plain JS functions, which receive a HTML node tree, transform it, and return a modified tree.
For more detailed information about PostHTML in general take a look at the docs.

npm init posthtmlnpm i -D posthtmlSync
import posthtml from 'posthtml'
const html = `
<component>
<title>Super Title</title>
<text>Awesome Text</text>
</component>
`
const result = posthtml()
.use(require('posthtml-custom-elements')())
.process(html, { sync: true })
.html
console.log(result)<div class="component">
<div class="title">Super Title</div>
<div class="text">Awesome Text</div>
</div>
⚠️ Async Plugins can't be used in sync mode and will throw an Error. It's recommended to use PostHTML asynchronously whenever possible.

In case you want to develop your own plugin, we recommend using posthtml-plugin-starter to get started.
