Transform-yaml-markdown NPM

transform-yaml-markdown

transform a folder of markdown files with yaml frontmatter to html

Installation

npm i transform-yaml-markdown

Usage

transform-yaml-markdown <source> <destination> [render] [postRender]

The render and postRender functions should be exported as common.js functions.

render gets a data object passed with the meta data and raw markdown from the current file, a collection of all other files in the current directory and a collection of all files. It should return a Promise that fulfills with the rendered HTML.

example: render.js

module.exports = function(currentFile, filesInCurrentFolder, allFiles) {
  return Promise.resolve(
    '<code>'
      +JSON.stringify(currentFile, null, 2)+' of '+allFiles.length
      +'\n'
      +JSON.stringify(filesInCurrentFolder, null, 2)
    +'</code>'
  );
};

postRender receives a collection of rendered files including a renderedPath property and should also return a Promise that fulfills whenever your post render hook is done.

example: post-render.js

module.exports = function postRender(renderedFiles) {
  console.log('number of rendered files: %i', renderedFiles.length);
  return Promise.resolve(renderedFiles);
};

By default the command tries to load render.js and post-render.js from the current working directory if not specified.
