rehype-starry-night v1.0.2

rehype-starry-night

What is it?

It's a rehype plugin to transform <code> blocks with language attribute with @wooorm's starry-night code syntax highlighter.

You may want to try this if you were unhappy with results from prism or shiki.

How to use?

1. Install the plugin with npm (npm install rehype-starry-night)
2. Use in a unified pipeline like this:

import fs from 'node:fs/promises'
import { unified } from 'unified'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkRehype from 'remark-rehype'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'
import rehypeStarryNight from 'rehype-starry-night'

const file = await unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkRehype)
  .use(rehypeStarryNight)
  .use(rehypeStringify)
  .process(await fs.readFile('example.md'))

console.log(String(file))

Configure?

The options you can pass are the same as the original project, which you can find here.

Since most of the time this plugin will be used in a larger context which involves pre-processing of markdown, i took the freedom to default grammars to all which means all languages should be supported out of the box. There's no extra cost at install since this all is brought by starry night, and should not impact performance as long as you don't run this in the browser.
