# mdast-util-compact [![Build Status][travis-badge]][travis] [![Coverage Status][codecov-badge]][codecov]

Make an [MDAST][] tree compact: collapse text nodes (when possible),
and blockquotes (in commonmark mode).

## Installation

[npm][]:

```bash
npm install mdast-util-compact
```

## Usage

```javascript
var u = require('unist-builder')
var compact = require('mdast-util-compact')

var tree = u('strong', [u('text', 'alpha'), u('text', ' '), u('text', 'bravo')])

compact(tree)

console.log(tree)
```

Yields:

```js
{ type: 'strong',
  children: [ { type: 'text', value: 'alpha bravo' } ] }
```

## API

### `compact(tree[, commonmark])`

Visit the tree and collapse nodes.  Combines adjacent text nodes (but
not when they represent entities or escapes).  If `commonmark` is `true`,
collapses `blockquote` nodes.

Handles positional information properly.

###### Returns

The given `tree`.
