Features

• Parse Markdown content in text files within the awoo files array
• Custom filter functions to include or exclude files from transforms

Installation

npm install --save awoo-markdown

Usage example

const awoo = require('awoo')
const markdown = require('awoo-markdown')
 
// enter our main function:
// the main function should be an async function so that
// it automatically returns a promise
awoo(async site => {
  // we register our plugin...
  site.use(markdown)
  // ...and initiate the build process
  return site
})

Filter example

You can pass a custom filter as an option to markdown to include or exclude files.

A filter is a function that takes the arguments file, options, and files. file is the current file, options is the options object passed to markdown, and files is the entire array of files created by awoo.

If the filter function returns true, markdown applies its transforms to the contents of the current file object. Otherwise the file object remains unchanged.

The default filter in markdown returns true only for files ending with .md:

function myCustomFilter (file, options, files) {
  return file.path.endsWith('.md')
}

This is how you could use a filter to apply markdown to every file:

const awoo = require('awoo')
const markdown = require('awoo-markdown')
 
// custom filter function
// always returns true
function myCustomFilter (file, options, files) {
  return true
}
 
awoo(async site => {
  // we register the markdown plugin with our custom filter function...
  site.use(markdown, {filter: myCustomFilter})
  // ...and initiate the build process
  return site
})

Markdown-it plugin example

You can pass plugins as an option to markdown to use markdown-it plugin.

plugins is an array that contains every plugin.

plugin is also an array that takes one or more arguments, the first argument is the markdown-it plugin, and the following arguments is the custom options that the markdown-it plugin takes itself.

const awoo = require('awoo')
const markdown = require('awoo-markdown')
const markdownItContainer = require('markdown-it-container')
 
awoo(async site => {
  // we register the markdown plugin with its own plugins...
  site.use(markdown, {plugins: [
    [markdownItContainer, 'spoiler']
  ]})
  // ...and initiate the build process
  return site
})
 

All processed files are renamed to <filename>.html after being converted.
