How do I create an element?

[marlun78]

Hi! Using domUtils.replaceElement(element, ???), how can I create a new element to replace with? I'm looking for something like domUtils.createElement('div', { id: 'some-id' }) or equivalent.
Thanks!

Use htmlparser2 to parse an HTML string and then replace the element with the result.

var html = '<div id="some-id"></div>';
var domHandler = new DomHandler(function(err, elems) {
  DomUtils.replaceElement(elem, elems[0]);
});
var parser = new HTMLParser.Parser(domHandler);
parser.write(html);
parser.end();

import {Element} from 'domhandler';

const el = new Element(`div`, {id: `some-id`});

It feels like Element should be re-exported, though ...
