## Installation
```sh
npm install inline-html
```
## Usage
Reads an HTML file, embeds the contents of local assets that are referenced within that file, and returns the inlined `html` string.
The following elements and data types are inlined:
- LESS stylesheets - The LESS is compiled and the result is inlined within a `<style>` element.
- 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.
- Images - The source path is replaced with a datauri.
Assuming we have the following files:
- `index.html`
```html
<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"/>
```
- `main.less`
```css
@import (inline) 'main.css';
div { background-image: url('path/to/file'); }
```
- `main.css`
```css
@font-face { src: url('path/to/file'); }
```
We can use `inline-html`:
```js
var inlineHtml = require('inline-html');
inlineHtml('index.html').then(function (html) {
// ...
});
```
To create the following `html` string:
```html
<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:..."/>
```
## API
- [`inlineHtml`](#inlineHtml)
---
<a name="inlineHtml"/>
### inlineHtml ( html [, 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` - An HTML string or a filename of an HTML file to inline. Relative file paths are resolved relative to `options.filename` if a string or the filename's directory if a filename.
- `options`
- `filename` - The filename used to resolve relative paths when `html` is a string. If `html` is a string and 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_)
<a name="Results"/>
__Results__
The `Promise` returned by this function 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.
