marked-directive v1.0.5

marked-directive

A marked extension to support directives syntax.

Install

You can install marked-directive using npm or yarn:

npm i marked-directive
# or
yarn add marked-directive

Usage

Once you've installed this extension, you can use it in your marked configuration. Here's an example of how to configure it:

Say we have the following file example.md:

# Example

:::main{#foo .bar class="baz" .qux}

[Directives syntax](https://talk.commonmark.org/t/generic-directives-plugins-syntax/444)

::hr{.border-muted}

You can use :i[CSS] (Cascading Style Sheets) to style your :abbr[HTML]{title="HyperText Markup Language"}.

:::

And our module example.js looks as follows:

import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs'
import { Marked } from 'marked'
import { createDirectives } from 'marked-directive'

const html = new Marked()
  .use(createDirectives())
  .parse(readFileSync('example.md', 'utf8'))

console.log(html)

Now, running node example.js yields:

<h1>Example</h1>
<main id="foo" class="bar baz qux">
  <p>
    <a
      href="https://talk.commonmark.org/t/generic-directives-plugins-syntax/444"
      >Directives syntax</a
    >
  </p>
  <hr class="border-muted" />
  <p>
    You can use <i>CSS</i> (Cascading Style Sheets) to style your
    <abbr title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</abbr>.
  </p>
</main>

Custom Directives

The marked-directive extension accepts a set of custom configurations for your directives. You can specify how the directives are identified, how they should be rendered, and other behavior. The options include:

• level: The level of the directive, which can be 'container', 'block', or 'inline'. This determines where the directive can be used.
• marker: The marker string that identifies the directive in the source text.
• tag: An optional HTML tag that the directive should be rendered as. If not provided, the default tag is used based on the directive level.
• renderer: A custom rendering function for the directive. This function can be used to customize how the directive is rendered.

Here's an example of custom options:

Say we have the following markdown code:

Custom directives:

::youtube[Dummy video]{vid="9xwazD5SyVg"}

1. @bent10
2. #markdown
3. :emoji[rocket]{title="Go!"}

And whatever is on your mind 🤯.

import { Marked } from 'marked'
import {
  createDirectives,
  presetDirectiveConfigs,
  type DirectiveConfig
} from 'marked-directive'

// defines `:youtube` directive
const youtubeDirective: DirectiveConfig = {
  level: 'block',
  marker: '::',
  renderer(token) {
    if (token.meta.name === 'youtube') {
      return `<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/${
        token.attrs?.vid || ''
      }" title="${
        token.text
      }" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>`
    }

    return false
  }
}

// defines `@mention` directive
const mentionDirective: DirectiveConfig = {
  level: 'inline',
  marker: '@',
  renderer(token) {
    return `<a class="user-mention notranslate" href="/users/${token.meta.name}">${token.meta.name}</a>`
  }
}

// defines `#hashtag` directive
const hashtagDirective: DirectiveConfig = {
  level: 'inline',
  marker: '#',
  renderer(token) {
    return `<a class="hashtag" href="/tags/${token.meta.name}">${token.meta.name}</a>`
  }
}

// defines `:emoji` directive
const emojis = { rocket: '🚀', 'red-exclamation': '❗' } // mock emoji api
const emojiDirective: DirectiveConfig = {
  level: 'inline',
  marker: ':',
  renderer(token) {
    if (token.meta.name === 'emoji') {
      return `<span ${token.attrs?.toString()}>${emojis[token.text]}</span>`
    }

    return false
  }
}

const html = new Marked()
  .use(
    createDirectives([
      ...presetDirectiveConfigs,
      youtubeDirective,
      mentionDirective,
      hashtagDirective,
      emojiDirective
    ])
  )
  .parse(md)

console.log(html)
