Unclear how to use with Node

[marcysutton]

In environments where there is no document object (like in Node.js), this utility doesn't work by itself. You have to specify a document somehow, so it would be good to tell people how to do that. It would be super useful for asserting strings of HTML are output correctly using Node.js as a simple build and test pipeline.

This is designed for a browser environment. How would you propose rendering in a node environment? What would the document be?

[marcysutton]

It might be worth adding some details that this project is in fact designed for a browser environment.

In Node we sometimes use JSDOM and jsdom-global to play around with the document object. I was looking for a unit testing tool to take an HTML string and convert it to DOM objects so I could assert qualities about them, but I didn't have a browser instance as my Node utility is for outputting plain HTML fixtures. I'll likely just create some integration tests instead and stand them up in a browser.

This would work if you had JSDOM since I use it wil JSDOM. Are you saying it doesn't work with JSDOM?

[marcysutton]

I'm saying you should add a note that the tool expects a browser environment, and that people can use JSDOM or headless Chrome to accomplish that task. It might save someone time in the future.
