I’m happy to announce that I’ve taken over maintainership of the popular NPM package html-to-react, which currently has about 3600 downloads per month. This package has the ability to translate HTML markup into a React DOM structure. An example should give you an idea of what html-to-react brings to the table: var React = require('react'); var HtmlToReactParser = require('html-to-react').Parser; var htmlInput = '<div><h1>Title</h1><p>A paragraph</p></div>'; var htmlToReactParser = new HtmlToReactParser(); // Turn HTML into a bona fide React component that we can integrate into our React tree var reactComponent = htmlToReactParser.

As detailed in my previous blog post on Adding Support for Regular Expression Search in the Chromium Developer Console, some months ago I set out to make it possible to search for regular expressions in the Chromium/Google Chrome developer console. The task turned out to be more complicated than I anticipated however, and I was asked by the responsible developers to write a separate patch first to improve the console’s search result navigation.

Chromium/Google Chrome is my hands-down favourite browser for developing Web sites in, owing to its incredibly sleek developer tools. I feel right at home in its JavaScript console, for evaluating JavaScript interactively or to inspect logs from a running JavaScript application. However, the latter scenario is somewhat let down by the console’s limited search functionality. At the time of writing, the console only lets you search for plain text on a line-by-line basis.
