## What is this?

This package is a tiny utility to check that a given [node][] is [phrasing
content][phrasing].

## When should I use this?

This utility is typically useful if you’re making other utilities.
It uses [`unist-util-is`][unist-util-is], which you can use for your own checks.

A different utility, [`hast-util-phrasing`][hast-util-phrasing], does the same
but on [hast][].

## Install

This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:

```sh
npm install mdast-util-phrasing
```

In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```js
import {phrasing} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-phrasing@4'
```

In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```html
<script type="module">
  import {phrasing} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-phrasing@4?bundle'
</script>
```

## Use

```js
import {phrasing} from 'mdast-util-phrasing'

phrasing({type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Alpha'}]})
// => false

phrasing({type: 'strong', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Delta'}]})
// => true
```

## API

This package exports the identifier [`phrasing`][api-phrasing].
There is no default export.

### `phrasing(value)`

Check if the given value is *[phrasing content][phrasing]*.

> 👉 **Note**: Excludes `html`, which can be both phrasing or flow.

###### Parameters

*   `value` (`unknown`)
    — thing to check, typically [`Node`][node]

###### Returns

Whether `value` is phrasing content (`boolean`).

## Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It does not export extra types.

## Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line, `mdast-util-phrasing@^4`,
compatible with Node.js 16.

## Security

Use of `mdast-util-phrasing` does not involve **[hast][]**, user content, or
change the tree, so there are no openings for [cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss]
attacks.
