‘normalizeWhitespace’ does not exist in type ‘CheerioOptions’ Node

by

After updating Node module cheerio from 0.22.0 to 1.0.0-rc.12 I have the following error

Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'normalizeWhitespace' does not exist in type 'CheerioOptions'.

normalizeWhitespace: true,

Code:

const $ = load(html, {
  decodeEntities: true,
  normalizeWhitespace: true,
});

If I remove the option the behaviour changes but I don’t find which option should I use instead.

I have node v18

    The option to normalizewhitespace was removed from newer versions of cheerio due to its inadequate coverage of edge cases in HTML. To address this issue, it is recommended to utilize a library like html-minifier-terser, which effectively implements whitespace compression. By integrating this library into your workflow, you can achieve the desired normalization of whitespace before using cheerio. This ensures a smoother, more accurate processing of your HTML code.

  • What are you trying to do that requires normalizing whitespace?
