# inline-html
Inline local assets referenced in an HTML document.
[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/inline-html.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/inline-html)
[![Travis](https://img.shields.io/travis/panosoft/inline-html.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/panosoft/inline-html)
This library parses HTML, embeds the contents of local assets that are referenced within that HTML, and returns a new inlined HTML string.
The following HTML elements and CSS data types are inlined:
- Scripts - The source path is read and inlined.
- Images - The source path is replaced with a datauri.
- Linked LESS stylesheets - The LESS is compiled and the result is inlined within a `<style>` element. Note that `@imports` are processed as well.
- CSS url data types - The reference path is replaced with a datauri. These can be used in linked stylesheets, style elements, and element style attributes.
Also, `inline-html` calls can be statically evaluated and included in Browserify bundles using the [`html-inlinify`](https://github.com/panosoft/html-inlinify) transform.
## Usage
Assuming ...
- `main.js`
```js
var a = 1;
```
- `main.less`
```css
@import (less) 'main.css';
div { background-image: url('path/to/file'); }
```
- `main.css`
```css
@font-face { src: url('path/to/file'); }
```
Then ...
```js
var co = require('co');
var inline = require('inline-html');
co(function * () {
var html = `
<script src="main.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet/less" href="main.less"/>
<style> div { background-image: url('path/to/file'); } </style>
<div style="background-image: url('path/to/file');"></div>
<img src="path/to/file"/>
`;
html = yield inline.html(html);
console.log(html);
/**
<script>
var a = 1;
</script>
<style>
@font-face { src: url('data:...'); }
div { background-image: url('data:...'); }
</style>
<style> div { background-image: url('data:...'); } </style>
<div style="background-image: url('data:...');"></div>
<img src="data:..."/>
*/
});
```
## Installation
```sh
npm install inline-html
```
## API
- [`inline.html`](#html)
- [`inline.file`](#file)
- [`Results`](#results)
---
<a name="html"/>
### inline.html ( html [, options] )
Parses an HTML string and embeds referenced local assets into the HTML.
Returns a `Promise` that is fulfilled with an `html` string or an instance of [`Results`](#results) depending on the value of `options.verbose`.
__Arguments__
- `html` - An HTML string to inline.
- `options`
- `filename` - The filename used to resolve relative paths. If this option is not provided, relative paths will be resolved relative to the process's current working directory.
- `less` - An object containing LESS options to pass to the less compiler. Defaults to `{}`.
- `verbose` - A boolean that determines the promises fulfillment value. Supported values are:
- `true`: An instance of [`Results`](#results).
- `false`: An `html` string. (_Default_)
__Example__
```js
co(function * () {
var html = yield inline.html(`<img src="test.png">`);
console.log(html); // <img src="data:...">
});
```
---
<a name="file"/>
### inline.file ( filename [, options] )
Reads an HTML file and embeds referenced local assets into the HTML.
Returns a `Promise` that is fulfilled with an `html` string or an instance of [`Results`](#results) depending on the value of `options.verbose`.
__Arguments__
- `html` - A filename of an HTML file to inline. Relative file paths are resolved relative to the filename's directory.
- `options`
- `less` - An object containing LESS options to pass to the less compiler. Defaults to `{}`.
- `verbose` - A boolean that determines the promises fulfillment value. Supported values are:
- `true`: An instance of [`Results`](#results).
- `false`: An `html` string. (_Default_)
__Example__
```js
co(function * () {
html = yield inline.file(`index.html`);
console.log(html); // <img src="data:...">
});
```
---
<a name="results"/>
### Results
The `Promise` returned by these functions is optionally fulfilled with a `results` object that has the following properties:
- `html` - The inlined html
- `files` - An array of filenames for the local assets that were inlined.
