Demo

CodeSandbox

Motivation

There is no native API in React to get the nested text content of react elements. This package provides a simple API to get the text content of nested elements (components)

Getting started

To use this package, you only need to install this dependency, import it and invoke the getInnerText function, e.g.:

const innerText = getInnerText(
  <div>
    <p>First paragraph.</p>
    <p>Second paragraph</p>
  </div>
)

console.log(innerText) // "First paragraph.Second paragraph"

Install

npm install @lukaspolak/react-get-inner-text

or

yarn add @lukaspolak/react-get-inner-text

Why the library is prefixed with @lukaspolak/

There are a lot of similar libraries/packages on GitHub and npm, that can do the same. I wanted to enhance my programming skills, and I didn't want to find a unique name for the package.
