Make library usable with Node about salve-dom

[lucaju]

Hi @raffazizzi. I have the same problem. My plan was actually to use salve-dom in Web Worker to unload the heavy validation task off of the main thread. Have you managed to make it work on Node using jsdom? If you did, can you share your solution?
@lddubeau , do you think you can take a look at this?

Hi @lucaju. I made it possible in my fork (https://github.com/raffazizzi/salve-dom) but also added a bunch of other stuff that I needed for the VS Code extension I was writing and it may be a bit difficult to extract that specific part from the rest, though feel free to take a look!

Whoops nevermind, I ended up making my changes to salve not salve-dom: https://github.com/raffazizzi/salve

Oh. Great. Thank you very much @raffazizzi I will definitely take a look at this right away :)

Sorry, when this was posted in 2020, I must have run into an email problem. I never saw this notice.

Note that salve-dom and salve are no longer in active development, as the project to which they were attached has been abandoned. I do not know if or when they will be developed again.

salve-dom expects a DOM (Document Object Model) and AFAIK DOM specifies that window must exist. I recommend to use jsdom if you want to use salve-dom with a fake DOM, but other solutions might work like Cheerio, for instance. I just know jsdom more than other libraries.

It is possible to use Salve alone without a DOM by just using the salve library.

I'm going to close this as I don't see any change necessary to salve-dom. I can reopen if someone convinces me otherwise.
