mdast-react-render v1.2.0

Mdast React Render

A util to render an MDAST tree accroding to a schema.

API

rule object

{
  matchMdast: fn(mdast, index, parent): Boolean,
  props: fn(mdast, index, parent, {ancestors}): Object,
  rules: [rule],
  isVoid: Boolean,
  component: ReactComponent
}

• matchMdast Return true if the rule should render the mdast node.
• props Extract props from mdast to be passed to component. Additional context is available from the ordered ancestors array—index zero is equal to the parent.
• rules Optional array of sub rules to render children with. Defaults to recursively visit children.
• isVoid Skip rendering children. Default false.
• component The React component to render.

renderMdast

import { renderMdast } from 'mdast-react-render'

renderMdast(mdast, schema, options): ReactElement | [ReactElement]

mdast: Mdast | [Mdast]
The mdast tree to render.

schema.rules: [rule]
Rules to render with

options.MissingNode: false | ReactComponent
A component to display when no rules matches. You can also pass false to throw if there is an unhandled mdast node. The component receives an node, index, parent and ancestors prop.

options.ancestors: undefined | [Mdast]
If you're rendering a sub tree you should pass the ancestors via options. The immediate parent is expected at index 0. Used for matchMdast (immediate parent) and props (parent and ancestors).

renderEmail

import { renderMdast } from 'mdast-react-render/lib/email'

renderEmail(mdast, schema, options): HtmlString

A drop in replacement for rendering emails. Params like renderMdast with following addition:

options.doctype: String
Defaults to a xhtml1-transitional doctype string.

Renders with renderMdast, stringifies with renderToStaticMarkup ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup, add a doctype and supports Outlook conditional comments via the mso component.

<Mso>

A dangerous helper for Outlook conditional comments.

Props:

• gte: String
  a optional gte conition, usually '15'
• children: String
  a dangerous html string to be between the conditional comment.

Usage:

import { Mso } from 'mdast-react-render/lib/email'

<Mso>
  {`
  <style>
    img {
      width:800px !important;
    }
  </style>
  `}
</Mso>

General Note

The schema and rule objects can and should be enriched with arbitrary additional data your app might need e.g. initiate an editor for the schema.

Utils

The packages also includes a suite of utils useful for writing your schemas.

• matchType(type: String): matchMdastFn
• matchHeading(depth: Number): matchMdastFn
• matchZone(identifier: String): matchMdastFn
zone is a custom mdast node type
• matchParagraph: matchMdastFn
• matchImage: matchMdastFn
• matchImageParagraph: matchMdastFn
  A paragraph with one image child
• imageSizeInfo(url: string): null | {width, height}
  Parses an url with an ?size=${width}x${height} suffix
• imageResizeUrl(url: string, size: string)
  Appends a resize query param with size as value

import { matchImageParagraph } from 'mdast-react-render/lib/utils'

import assert from 'assert'

import Enzyme, { shallow } from 'enzyme'
import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-16'

import { renderMdast } from 'mdast-react-render'
import { matchType, matchHeading, matchParagraph } from 'mdast-react-render/lib/utils'

Enzyme.configure({ adapter: new Adapter() })

const mdast = {

const schema = {

          component: ({ children }) => <h1>{children}</h1>
        },
        {
          matchMdast: matchParagraph,
          component: ({ children }) => <p>{children}</p>
        }

Example Email

import assert from 'assert'
import React from 'react'

import { renderMdast, Mso } from 'mdast-react-render/lib/email'
import { matchType } from 'mdast-react-render/lib/utils'

const schema = {
  rules: [
    {
      matchMdast: matchType('root'),
      component: ({ children }) => (
        <html>
          <head>
            <Mso gte='15'>
              {`
              <xml>
                <o:officedocumentsettings>

                  <o:pixelsperinch>96</o:pixelsperinch>

          <body>
            {children}
          </body>
        </html>
      )
    }
  ]
}

const mdast = {
  'type': 'root',
  'children': []
}

let emailHtml
assert.doesNotThrow(() => {
  emailHtml = renderEmail(mdast, schema, {MissingNode: false})
})

assert.notEqual(
  emailHtml.indexOf('<!--[if gte mso 15]>'),
  -1,
  'transforms <Mso gte=\'15\'> into html comment'
)
