Migrating content to mobiledoc format - parsing html server side

Hi! Is there a way to parse existing html to mobiledoc format server side? I want to migrate my content to mobiledoc format.

In node.js I was trying to do something like this:

const parser = require('../mobiledoc-kit/dist/commonjs/mobiledoc-kit/parsers/html').default;
const builder = require('../mobiledoc-kit/dist/commonjs/mobiledoc-kit/models/post-node-builder').default;
const p = new parser(builder);
p.parse('<p> hello </p>');

but it requires browser environment (error: ReferenceError: document is not defined);

Hey @kmoskwiak. It took a little bit to make this generic. The index.js file can be what you run or loop through for your content, but that is the entry point. We create a dom context and let Mobiledoc do its thing after sanitizing the html to remove tags that aren’t supported (think <small>). Happy to help, I haven’t tried to run through this gist and renamed some things so there may be a few errors, so let me know if I need to make any corrections.

A little side note: Our refetchMediaCards is just a function that calls GraphQL mutations to rehost images or fetch embeds to match the oembed spec. You can do anything there, so I didn’t include that file.

The Mobiledoc standard is awesome and we want to be able to easily move people from other platforms to using it. This requires conversion from HTML -> Mobiledoc and so I’ve been working on what I think is a simpler approach.

I have a WIP package here: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-SDK/tree/master/packages/html-to-mobiledoc, but I’m running heavily into https://github.com/bustle/mobiledoc-kit/issues/648
