metalsmith-github-markdown

Convert markdown with Github Markdown

Why ?

GitHub has the best syntax highlighting. Nothing beats it.

Usage

$ npm install --save-dev metalsmith-github-markdown

Example

GitHub's Markdown API has a rate-limit of 60 requests per hour for unauthenticated request.

Therefore, by default, this plugin is rate limited to 60 requests per hour. You can increase this to 5000 requests per hour by adding your personal GitHub API token.

import metalsmith from 'metalsmith'
import markdown from 'metalsmith-github-markdown';
 
const accessToken = process.env.ACCESS_TOKEN;
 
metalsmith(__dirname)
    .use(markdown({
        accessToken: accessToken, // GitHub API Token.
    }))
    .build((err) => {
        if (err) {
            process.exit(1);
        }
 
        console.log('Success !');
    });
