I have string with link
<a href="https://twitter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter/</a>
and I need to wrap a text inside link in a <span>
element
like :
<a href="https://twitter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color: white">Twitter</span>/</a>
so what regex i need? ps. i need to send this string as part of html mail letter from mongodb via nodejs, not for manipulate DOM
It's safest to use a DOMParser with node.js as "The fourth bird" mentioned: Trying to use the DOMParser with node js
You can use a regex, which might not cover all corner cases. Here are two options:
const input = '<a href="https://twitter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter/</a>'; let regex1 = /(<a [^>]*>)(.*?)(<\/a>)/gi; let result1 = input.replace(regex1, '$1<span style="color: white">$2</span>$3'); console.log('result1:', result1); let regex2 = /(?<=<a [^>]*>)(.*?)(?=<\/a>)/gi; let result2 = input.replace(regex2, '<span style="color: white">$1</span>'); console.log('result2:', result2);
Output:
result1: <a href="https://twitter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color: white">Twitter/</span></a>
result2: <a href="https://twitter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color: white">Twitter/</span></a>
Explanation of regex1:
(<a [^>]*>)
-- capture group 1: anchor tag (.*?)
-- capture group 2: non-greedy scan (<\/a>)
-- capture group 3: anchor end tag $1
, $2
, $3
Explanation of regex2:
Using jsdom
var anchor = document.querySelector("a"); var anchorText = anchor.textContent; anchor.innerText = ""; var span = document.createElement("span"); var spanText = document.createTextNode(anchorText); span.appendChild(spanText) anchor.appendChild(span); console.log(anchor.innerHTML);
<a href="https://twitter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter/</a>
We can also achieve this requirement by simply using String.replace()
method.
Live Demo :
var anchor = document.querySelector("a"); var anchorText = anchor.textContent; anchor.innerHTML = anchorText.replace(anchorText, `<span style="color: red">${anchorText}</span>`)
