# Svelte Markdown

A markdown parser that renders into Svelte Components. Inspired by [ReactMarkdown](https://github.com/remarkjs/react-markdown).

## Installation

You can install it with

```console
npm i -S @humanspeak/svelte-markdown
```

## Usage

```svelte

import SvelteMarkdown from '@humanspeak/svelte-markdown'
const source = `
# This is a header

This is a paragraph.

* This is a list
* With two items
1. And a sublist
2. That is ordered
* With another
* Sublist inside

| And this is | A table |
|-------------|---------|
| With two | columns |`

```

This would render something like

```html

This is a header


This is a paragraph.



  • This is a list


  • With two items

    1. And a sublist


    2. That is ordered

      • With another

      • Sublist inside







And this is
A table




With two
columns

```

## Note

Just like with React Markdown, this package doesn't use `{@html ...}` unless you need to render HTML.

## Props

The SvelteMarkdown component accepts the following props:

- `source` - _string_ or _array_ The Markdown source to be parsed, or an array of tokens to be rendered directly.
- `renderers` - _object (optional)_ An object where the keys represent a node type and the value is a Svelte component. This object will be merged with the default renderers. For now you can check how the default renderers are written in the source code at `src/renderers`.
- `options` - _object (optional)_ An object containing [options for Marked](https://marked.js.org/using_advanced#options)

## Renderers

To create custom renderer for an element, you can create a Svelte component with the default props ([you can check them here](https://marked.js.org/using_pro#renderer)), for example:

_`ImageComponent.svelte`_

```svelte

export let href = ''
export let title = undefined
export let text = ''

{text}
```

So you can import the component and pass to the `renderers` props:

```svelte

import SvelteMarkdown from '@humanspeak/svelte-markdown'
import ImageComponent from './renderers/ImageComponent.svelte'
export let content

```

## Rendering From Tokens

For greater flexibility, an array of tokens may be given as `source`, in which case parsing is skipped and the tokens will be rendered directly. This alows you to generate and transform the tokens freely beforehand. Example:

```html

import SvelteMarkdown from '@humanspeak/svelte-markdown'
import { marked } from 'marked'

const tokens = marked.lexer('this is an **example**')

marked.walkTokens(tokens, (token) => {
if (token.type == 'strong') token.type = 'em'
token.raw = token.raw.toUpperCase()
})

```

This will render the following:

```html

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE


```

## Events

A `parsed` event will be fired when the final tokens have been calculated, allowing you to access the raw token array if needed for things like generating Table of Contents from headings.

```html

import SvelteMarkdown from '@humanspeak/svelte-markdown'

const source = `# This is a header`

const handleParsed = async (parsedTokens: Token[] | TokensList) => {
console.log('displaying tokens', parsedTokens)
}

```

## Available renderers

These would be the property names expected by the `renderers` option.

- `text` - Text rendered inside of other elements, such as paragraphs
- `paragraph` - Paragraph (`

`)
- `em` - Emphasis (``)
- `strong` - Strong/bold (``)
- `hr` - Horizontal rule / thematic break (`


`)
- `blockquote` - Block quote (`
`)
- `del` - Deleted/strike-through (``)
- `link` - Link (``)
- `image` - Image (``)
- `table` - Table (`
`)
- `tablehead` - Table head (``)
- `tablebody` - Table body (``)
- `tablerow` - Table row (``)
- `tablecell` - Table cell (``/``)
- `list` - List (`
    `/`
      `)
      - `listitem` - List item (`
    1. `)
      - `heading` - Heading (`

      `-`

      `)
      - `codespan` - Inline code (``)
      - `code` - Block of code (`
      `)
      
      - `html` - HTML node

      ### Optional List Renderers

      For fine detail styling of lists, it can be useful to differentiate between ordered and un-ordered lists.
      If either key is missing, the default `listitem` will be used. There are two
      optional keys in the `renderers` option which can provide this:

      - `orderedlistitem` - A list item appearing inside an ordered list
      - `unorderedlistitem` A list item appearing inside an un-ordered list

      As an example, if we have an `orderedlistitem`:

      ```html

      li::marker {
      color: blue;
      }


    2. ```

      Then numbers at the start of ordered list items would be colored blue. Bullets at the start of unordered list items
      would remain the default text color.

      ### Inline Markdown

      To use [inline markdown](https://marked.js.org/using_advanced#inline), you can assign the prop `isInline` to the component.

      ```html

      ```

      ## HTML rendering

      While the most common flavours of markdown let you use HTML in markdown paragraphs, due to how Svelte handles plain HTML it is currently not possible to do this with this package. A paragraph must be either _all_ HTML or _all_ markdown.

      ```markdown
      This is a **markdown** paragraph.

      This is an HTML paragraph


      ```

      Note that the HTML paragraph must be enclosed within `

      ` tags.

      ## Developing

      Some tests have been added to the `tests` folder. You can clone this repo and create another svelte app and link it to this repo to try modifying it.

      You can clone this repo and do the following:

      ```console
      yarn
      yarn link
      yarn dev
      ```

      This will watch all changes and make the project linkable. Now on the app you created you can link it with:

      ```console
      yarn link @humanspeak/svelte-markdown
      ```

      And then import it like in the example above.

      As of now the only external dependency of this project is `marked`.
