Turn a directory of markdown into a sqlite3 table
An example taken from the tests:
import { markdownDirectoryToTable } from '@editorialapp/datatools'
import * as dirname from 'desm'
const markdownDirectory = dirname.join(import.meta.url, './fixtures/markdown')
// an instance of Database from better-sqlite3 is returned
const db = await markdownDirectoryToTable({
directoryFilepath: markdownDirectory,
tableName: 'markdown',
columns: {
title: 'TEXT',
content: 'TEXT'
}
})
const rows = await db.prepare('SELECT * FROM markdown;').all()
console.log(rows)
// returns:
// [
// { title: 'B', content: '<p>This is b.</p>\n' },
// { title: 'C', content: '<p>This is c.</p>\n' },
// { title: 'A', content: '<p>This is a.</p>\n' }
// ]
