meta-remarkable

The remarkable markdown processor for Node.js with support for YAML metadata

dependencies

meta-remarkable, forked from meta-marked, is a wrapper around remarkable. The constructor passes all arguments to the remarkable constructor.

The render function behaves exactly the same as remarkable, except it instead returns an object with two properties: meta, which contains the metadata object or null if metadata isn't found, and html, which contains the parsed HTML.

You have access to the raw remarkable via the remarkable property.

In order to include metadata in a document, insert YAML at the top of the document surrounded by --- and .... Note that if the given string doesn't start with ---, it will not be interpreted as having metadata.

Example

---
Title:   My awesome markdown file
Author:  Me
Scripts:
    - js/doStuff.js
    - js/doMoreStuff.js
...

##Header
Regular text and stuff goes here.

You can also use the approach below, which will result in a very nice data table at the top of your markdown when viewing the file GitHub:

---
Title:   My awesome markdown file
Author:  Me
Scripts:
    - js/doStuff.js
    - js/doMoreStuff.js
---

##Header
Regular text and stuff goes here.

Both of the above will result in the following output:

{
    "meta": {
        "Title": "My awesome markdown file",
        "Author": "Me",
        "Scripts": [
            "js/doStuff.js",
            "js/doMoreStuff.js"
        ]
    },
    "html": "<h2>Header</h2>\n<p>Regular text and stuff goes here.</p>\n"
}

Usage

Call render with the src text:

var metaRemarkable = require('meta-remarkable');
var md = new metaRemarkable();
var text = fs.readFileSync('myfile.md', 'utf8');
var res = md.render();
console.log(res.meta); // the parsed yaml->json
console.log(res.html); // the parsed md->html

All options are passed through to remarkable:

var metaRemarkable = require('meta-remarkable');
var md = new metaRemarkable('full', {
    html: false,
    linkify: true
});

Use remarkable directly:

var metaRemarkable = require('meta-remarkable');
var md = new metaRemarkable('full', {
    html: false,
    linkify: true
});
md.remarkable.set({
    html: true
});
md.remarkable.render('# some markdown'); // bypass meta-remarkable.
