## What is this?



This package is a [unified][] ([remark][]) plugin to configure remark

(specifically, how `remark-stringify` formats markdown) from YAML frontmatter.



## When should I use this?



This project is useful when you want to change how markdown is formatted from

within a file.

You can use this when you trust authors and want to give them control.



This plugin is very similar to the alternative

[`remark-comment-config`][remark-comment-config].

The difference is that that plugin uses comments, which can come anywhere in the

document, whereas this plugin uses YAML frontmatter, which comes at the start of

documents.



## Install



This package is [ESM only][esm].

In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:



```sh

npm install remark-yaml-config

```



In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:



```js

import remarkYamlConfig from 'https://esm.sh/remark-yaml-config@7'

```



In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:



```html



  import remarkYamlConfig from 'https://esm.sh/remark-yaml-config@7?bundle'



```



## Use



Say we have the following file `example.md`:



```markdown

---

remark:

  bullet: "+"

---



- Triton

```



…and a module `example.js`:



```js

import {remark} from 'remark'

import remarkFrontmatter from 'remark-frontmatter'

import remarkYamlConfig from 'remark-yaml-config'

import {read} from 'to-vfile'



const file = await remark()

  .use(remarkFrontmatter)

  .use(remarkYamlConfig)

  .process(await read('example.md'))



console.log(String(file))

```



> ⚠️ **Important**: [`remark-frontmatter`][remark-frontmatter] is needed to

> support YAML frontmatter in markdown.



…then running `node example.js` yields:



```markdown

---

remark:

  bullet: "+"

---



+ Triton

```



## API



This package exports no identifiers.

The default export is [`remarkYamlConfig`][api-remark-yaml-config].



### `unified().use(remarkYamlConfig)`



Configure remark with YAML frontmatter.



Parses YAML frontmatter and takes the value of the `remark` field as settings.

The settings are passed to [`remark-stringify`][remark-stringify-options].



###### Parameters



There are no parameters.



###### Returns



Nothing (`undefined`).



## Types



This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].

It exports no additional types.



## Compatibility



Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained

versions of Node.js.



When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of

Node.

This means we try to keep the current release line, `remark-yaml-config@^7`,

compatible with Node.js 16.



This plugin works with `remark` version 13+.

Version 5 (and lower) worked with older versions of remark.



## Security



Use of `remark-yaml-config` can change how markdown is parsed or compiled.

If the markdown is user provided, this may open you up to a

[cross-site scripting (XSS)][wiki-xss] attack.
