markdown-react v0.0.9

markdown-react

React markdown renderer

What is this?

A markdown to React renderer.

Parse markdown to a React structure instead of a html. This allows you to all sort of custom things that you can do with react. This means you can render a normal html structure but also do al sort of crazy things.

This script doesn't parse markdown, instead it uses evilstreak/markdown-js. I'm probably going to add an other backend too chjj/marked

Some examples can be found in examples. After installation, you can run these (node examples/simple.js). A server example can be found in react-markdown-server

TODO

• better error handling (add a test fase, and do the correct thing on error (render the error for example))
• Clean up the installation
• Clean up repo
• Build a small example of what is possible with React together with markdown (numbered titles, onClick,...)
• Make this useable for a blog site (compile to React and static HTML)- See react-markdown-server
• Add a backend for: chjj/marked
• More tests and fix the tests to point to lib
• Complete documentation (document api)
• Server example
• Publish to npm
• Sanitize input

Maybe later

• Use facebook/immutable-js as a for the intermediate tree and implement shouldComponentUpdate for fast updates (in case we want to use this as an markdown editor for example.)
