Add from option

[TrySound]

This will let make include, imports or something other more flexible.
The same is used in postcss (node.source.input.file)

[awinogradov]

@TrySound you can transfer any file to posthtml with gulp or other engines. Look at https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-posthtml

[TrySound]

@awinogradov Yeah. I know. It's not about any wrappers. This will add file prop to any tag and will let to use relative path of current file not only some root.

[TrySound]

@awinogradov It's just meta data not actions.

[awinogradov]

@TrySound yes, I understand. But nobody uses posthtml-parser separately. It's API shouldn't to be here. You should transfer string to the parser. I think it's the right idea because tomorrow somebody will want to get a string by HTTP. Why not?) This is variant of getting content and it should be on the high level.

[awinogradov]

@TrySound can you write example of usage for this prop?

[voischev]

want to get a string by HTTP

👍

[voischev]

and what to do with text nodes?

[TrySound]

We just will pass posthtml options in parser in next release.
Flatten text nodes is your api omission. Need major release for this case and plugins rewriting.
posthtml
https://github.com/posthtml/posthtml-include/blob/master/index.js#L14
In postcss we use this everywhere when we want to get relative paths (+sourcemaps if somebody want to support them in future)
https://github.com/postcss/postcss-import/blob/master/index.js#L220-L222
https://github.com/TrySound/postcss-inline-svg/blob/master/lib/resolve.js#L3-L11

[TrySound]

want to get a string by HTTP

It won't affect nothing at all. We are deciding another problem here.

[TrySound]

However resolving should be in posthtml.

[awinogradov]

@TrySound if you want this meta you should have target or problem? How you plan use this meta?

[TrySound]

@awinogradov In include something like

if (src) {
  var resolvedId = path.resolve(node.file || options.root, src);
  content = parser(fs.readFileSync(resolvedId, options.encoding));
}

[awinogradov]

Ok) Now it works fine. Write in your HTML <div src='path/to/file'></div> then catch it in plugin node.attrs.src ;)

[TrySound]

What? Seriously? By hand?
