mdast-util-to-string is a fantastic tool that fetches the text content of a specific node. With assistance from this JavaScript utility, users can easily extract the plain text inside a node without having to go through the markdown serialization process.
The usage of mdast-util-to-string is straightforward. This package does not come with a default export; it exports the identifier toString. Below is an example on how to use this utility:
import {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown'
import {toString} from 'mdast-util-to-string'
const tree = fromMarkdown('Some _emphasis_, **importance**, and `code`.')
console.log(toString(tree)) // => 'Some emphasis, importance, and code.'
From this code snippet, we can see it's a two-step process:
First, we import the utility functions fromMarkdown and toString. Then, the fromMarkdown function is used to parse a markdown string into a tree, and finally, the toString function outputs the text content of that markdown content, stripping all the markdown syntax.
