carve-components

React and Vue 3 components that render Carve markup to safe HTML, powered by carve-js. This fills a gap that the djot ecosystem does not cover: ready-made framework components for rendering the markup.

Install

npm install @markup-carve/carve-components react react-dom   # React
npm install @markup-carve/carve-components vue               # Vue

react / react-dom (>=18) and vue (>=3) are optional peer dependencies. Pull in only the framework you use; the subpath exports keep a React app from ever loading Vue and vice versa.

React

import { Carve, useCarveHtml } from "@markup-carve/carve-components/react";

<Carve source="# Hello\n\n*bold* and /italic/" />
<Carve source={src} as="article" className="prose" options={{ allowRawHtml: true }} />

const html = useCarveHtml(src); // memoized HTML string

<Carve> accepts source (required), options (carve-js options), as (wrapper element, default div), plus any extra props (className, id, style, ...) and a forwarded ref that fall through to the wrapper. The HTML is injected via dangerouslySetInnerHTML.

Vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Carve, useCarveHtml } from "@markup-carve/carve-components/vue";
const html = useCarveHtml(() => src);
</script>

<template>
  <Carve :source="src" as="article" :options="{ allowRawHtml: true }" />
</template>

<Carve> accepts :source (required), :options, and :as (default div). The HTML is injected via v-html. Extra attributes fall through to the wrapper.

SSR

Both components are server-render safe: carve-js is isomorphic and there is no window/document access at module scope. Use react-dom/server's renderToString or @vue/server-renderer as usual.

Security model

carve-js sanitizes its own output (the project's defenses are normative), so the rendered HTML is meant to be injected directly. This library does not re-escape it. Two carve-js knobs matter:

• URL sanitization (sanitizeUrls, carve-js default true, pinned on here): dangerous link/image schemes (javascript:, vbscript:, data:, file:) are blanked to "". The link text / image alt still render but are inert.
• Raw HTML (allowRawHtml): carve-js defaults this to true to match its conformance corpus, which means the explicit raw-HTML author forms (`…`{=html} inline and ```=html block) emit verbatim and CAN inject a live <script>. This library overrides the default to false so the components are safe by default for untrusted input - raw HTML is escaped to text. A bare <script> line in plain Carve is always escaped regardless of this flag.

If you fully trust the input and want raw-HTML passthrough, pass options={{ allowRawHtml: true }}.

Hostile input	Default component output
[x](javascript:alert(1))	<a href="">x</a> (inert)
`<script>...`{=html}	escaped text (&lt;script&gt;)
```=html block with <script>	escaped text
bare <script>...</script> line	escaped text

carve-js dependency (bundled)

carve-js (@markup-carve/carve) is a build-time dependency only: tsup bundles it into this package's dist/ (noExternal), so the published package is self-contained and consumers do not install carve-js separately. It is therefore a devDependency (pinned to a carve-js git commit), not a runtime dependency. Bump the pinned commit in devDependencies and rebuild to pick up a newer engine.
