What is this?

This package is a unified processor with support for parsing Latin-script natural language as input and serializing it as output by using unified with retext-latin and retext-stringify.

See the monorepo readme for info on what the retext ecosystem is.

When should I use this?

You can use this package when you want to use unified, have Latin-script as input, and as output. This package is a shortcut for unified().use(retextLatin).use(retextStringify). When the input isn’t Latin-script or is English or Dutch (meaning you don’t need retext-latin), it’s recommended to use unified directly.

Install

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

npm install retext

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {retext} from 'https://esm.sh/retext@9'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {retext} from 'https://esm.sh/retext@9?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {retext} from 'retext'
import retextEmoji from 'retext-emoji'
import retextProfanities from 'retext-profanities'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'

const file = await retext()
  .use(retextEmoji, {convert: 'encode'})
  .use(retextProfanities)
  .process('He’s set on beating your butt for sheriff! :cop:')

console.log(String(file))
console.error(reporter(file))

Yields:

He’s set on beating your butt for sheriff! 👮

1:26-1:30 warning Be careful with `butt`, it’s profane in some cases butt retext-profanities

⚠ 1 warning

API

This package exports the identifier retext. There is no default export.

retext()

Create a new unified processor that already uses retext-latin and retext-stringify.

You can add more plugins with use. See unified for more information.

Syntax tree

The syntax tree used in retext is nlcst.

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, retext@^9, compatible with Node.js 16.
