programmatically in Node.js: #Using this module in other modules

README

mermaid load plugin for markdown-it Markdown parser.

Installation

npm install markdown-it-mermaid-less --save

Using this module in other modules

Here is a quick example of how this module can be used in other modules. The TypeScript Module Resolution Logic makes it quite easy. The file src/index.ts is a barrel that re-exports selected exports from other files. The package.json file contains main attribute that points to the generated lib/index.js file and typings attribute that points to the generated lib/index.d.ts file.

If you are planning to have code in multiple files (which is quite natural for a Node.js module) that users can import, make sure you update src/index.ts file appropriately.

Now assuming you have published this amazing module to npm with the name markdown-it-mermaid-less, and installed it in the module in which you need it -

• To use the mermaid2html function in a TypeScript file -

import markdownItMermaidLess = require('markdown-it-mermaid-less');
const taskList: string = `
\`\`\`mermaid
graph TD;
A-->B;
A-->C;
B-->D;
C-->D;
\`\`\`
`;

(async (md: string) => {
  const defaultRootWebPath = path.join(__dirname, '..');
  // console.log('defaultRootWebPath= ', defaultRootWebPath);
  const options: index.IMermaid2htmlProOptions = {
    rootWebPath: defaultRootWebPath,
  };

  const html: string = await markdownItMermaidLess.mermaid2html(md, options);
  console.log("rendered html is\n:", html);

  return;
})(taskList);

• To use the mermaid2html function in a JavaScript file -

const markdownItMermaidLess = require("markdown-it-mermaid-less")
const mermaid2html = markdownItMermaidLess.mermaid2html;
const taskList = `
\`\`\`mermaid
graph TD;
A-->B;
A-->C;
B-->D;
C-->D;
\`\`\`
`;
(async(md)=>{
  const options = {
    rootWebPath: defaultRootWebPath,
  };
  const html = await mermaid2html(md, options);
  console.log("rendered html is\n:", html);
})(taskList)

• To use the mermaid2html function in a TypeScript file as a markdown-it plugin-

import markdownItMermaidLess = require('markdown-it-mermaid-less');
// import * as markdownItMermaidLess from 'markdown-it-mermaid-less';
const taskList: string = `
\`\`\`mermaid
graph TD;
A-->B;
A-->C;
B-->D;
C-->D;
\`\`\`
`;
(async (markdownContent: string) => {
  let html: string = '';

  if (typeof markdownContent !== 'string') {
    throw Error('first argument must be a string');
  }
  const defaultRootWebPath = path.join(__dirname, '..');

  const cms: string[] = await markdownItMermaidLess.mermaid_pro_plugin_init_everytime(
    markdownContent,
    defaultRootWebPath
  );
  const md = require('markdown-it')();
  const ro = {
    contentMaps: cms,
  };
  md.use(markdownItMermaidLess, ro);

  html = md.render(markdownContent);
  console.log('html = ', html);
  return html;
})(taskList);
