This library is not parser itself, it dependent on [wooorm/remark](https://github.com/wooorm/remark). > Markdown -> remark -> markdown-to-ast -> `TxtNode`s The AST consists of `TxtNode`s. A `TxtNode` of the AST has following properties: - `loc` - Nodes have line and column-based location info. - `range` - Nodes have an index-based location range (array). - `raw` - Node have a `raw` text. - `value` - Node have a `value` of text. The interface are defined in [textlint/txtnode.md](https://github.com/textlint/textlint/blob/master/docs/txtnode.md "textlint/txtnode.md at master · textlint/textlint") This library is a part of [textlint/textlint](https://github.com/textlint/textlint "textlint/textlint"). **If you need to markdown parser, please use [wooorm/remark](https://github.com/wooorm/remark) directly.** ## DEMO - [textlint AST explorer](https://textlint.org/astexplorer/ "textlint AST explorer") ## Installation ``` npm install @textlint/markdown-to-ast ``` ## Usage ```sh var parse = require("@textlint/markdown-to-ast").parse; var markdown = "It's a *text*"; var AST = parse(markdown); /* { "type": "Document", "children": [ { "type": "Paragraph", "children": [ { "type": "Str", "value": "It's a ", "loc": { "start": { "line": 1, "column": 0 }, "end": { "line": 1, "column": 7 } }, "range": [ 0, 7 ], "raw": "It's a " }, { "type": "Emphasis", "children": [ { "type": "Str", "value": "text", "loc": { "start": { "line": 1, "column": 8 }, "end": { "line": 1, "column": 12 } }, "range": [ 8, 12 ], "raw": "text" } ], "loc": { "start": { "line": 1, "column": 7 }, "end": { "line": 1, "column": 13 } }, "range": [ 7, 13 ], "raw": "*text*" } ], "loc": { "start": { "line": 1, "column": 0 }, "end": { "line": 1, "column": 13 } }, "range": [ 0, 13 ], "raw": "It's a *text*" } ], "loc": { "start": { "line": 1, "column": 0 }, "end": { "line": 1, "column": 13 } }, "range": [ 0, 13 ], "raw": "It's a *text*" } */ ``` If you want to know real use-case, please see [textlint/textlint](https://github.com/textlint/textlint "textlint/textlint"). ## Tests ``` npm test ``` ### Create fixtures See [tools/](tools/) directory. ## Contributing 1.
