serve markdown files from a directory as html
example
To render some markdown files in articles/, you could write:
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var hyperstream = require('hyperstream');
var article = require('markdown-directory')(__dirname + '/articles');
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
var m = RegExp('^/article/(.+)').exec(req.url);
if (m) {
res.setHeader('content-type', 'text/html');
fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/article.html')
.pipe(hyperstream({
'title': m[1],
'#article': article(m[1]),
}))
.pipe(res)
;
}
else res.end('beep boop\n')
});
server.listen(9000);Now your markdown will be rendered into the article div of article.html:
$ curl -s http://localhost:9000/article/robot
<html>
<head>
<title>robot</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="article"><h1>robots</h1>
<p>Beep boop.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>methods
