Extract html and wordpress shortcodes into array of objects

I am working a headless Wordpress site with Nuxt as my front end.

The site has thousands of articles which have shortcodes. I am getting all the page data via graphql and I render content using v-html and it is all working great, but the shortcodes obviously only render as plain text.

They are mostly very simple shortcodes so I am going to create Vue components to replace them using

<component :is="someshortcode">

What I need to do is split my html up into an array of objects I can use to render the parts of the page as html or a component depending what it is.

I imagine the best way to do this is with regex which is where I am stumped.

Let's say I have the following html with some shortcodes

<h1>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>

[someshortcode attr1="value1" attr2="value2"]

<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>

[someshortcode attr1="value1" attr2="value2"]

<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>

What I want to do is return an array of objects as follows

[
    {
        type: 'html',
        content: `<h1>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>`
    },
    {
        type: 'shortcode',
        content: `[someshortcode attr1="value1" attr2="value2"]`
    },
    {
        type: 'html',
        content: `<h1>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>`
    },
    {
        type: 'shortcode',
        content: `[someshortcode attr1="value1" attr2="value2"]`
    },
    {
        type: 'html',
        content: `<h1>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus facilisis elit ante. Vivamus semper dui eget justo viverra facilisis. Etiam ut leo fermentum, sagittis mauris nec, placerat lorem.</p>`
    },
]

example of content received from the Rest API

This is the basis of what I need, I will then be able to further break the shortcodes down by getting the properties etc.

What would be the best way of going about this? Is regex the best way?

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
