text-element-lines

An efficient library for extracting text lines from a DOM element.

• Efficently tracks mutations to the DOM node and updates the in-memory state
• Uses a binary search to find wrapping points of each line
• Detects block elements and allows you to differentiate between wrapping newlines & block element induced newlines (\r\n vs \n)
• Easy to use methods exported

Usage

import { extractLines, extractTextFromLines } from "text-element-lines";

for (const line of extractLines(element)) {
  console.log(line.index, line.blockParent, line.innerText);
}

console.log(extractTextFromLines(element))
