@sohailalam2/markdown-extractor v0.2.3

Markdown Extractor 🔣

📝 Description

Your one stop for parsing Markdown content. Give your markdown superpower by adding metadata.

🔧 Features

• Parse markdown content. We use marked
• Extract YAML metadata information about your markdown content. We use js-yaml
• Convert markdown to HTML and easily extract data from DOM nodes by passing selectors. We use cheerio
• Support for both NodeJS and Browser
• Browser standalone package also available at dist/bundle.min.js

💡 How does it work?

For example,

---
title: Awesome Markdown Extractor
id: 101
---

# Abstract

Lorem ipsum dolor...

would be parsed as

{
  metadata: {
    title: "Awesome Markdown Extractor",
    id: 101
  },
  content: {
    abstract: 'Abstract'
  },
  html: "<h1>Abstract</h1>...."
}

📝 Prerequisites

NodeJs v12 or above. May work on lower version but not tested.

💻 Installation

$ npm install @sohailalam2/markdown-extractor
