minimark

minimark is a Svelte library that render nodes from a string with markdown like tags.
The text is converted to nodes that are then displayed as Svelte components, without any html assignments.

You can find a demo with a live preview of the rendered text at http://minimark.nikurasu.org/.

Installation

yarn add @glagan/minimark # or npm install @glagan/minimark

How to use

You only need to use the <Minimark> component to render text:

<Minimark text="This will be renderer **in bold**" />

The generated node will be surrounded by a <div> by default, but you can use any tag you want by setting the tag props.

Tags

You can insert links, images and stylize text by using tags that resemble Markdown. Most of these tags can be nested to combine their effects.

Tags work by looking for an open token, an optional separator if there is a title, and the close token. If the tag can have a title you need to use | as the separator with the content.

You can add custom tags easily with the addTag(definition) function. A tag object can have the following properties:

import { addTag } from '@glagan/minimark';

addTag({
    tag: "span", // The node tag, e.g <span>
    classes: "class1 class2", // Optional classes as a string
    attributes: {
        name: "value"
    }, // Optional attributes to set
    textContent: "$content", // textContent of the created node, see below for variables
                             // If textContent is defined and not false the content cannot have childs (nested other tags)
                             // If textContent is set to false, it"s ignored (for self-closing tags)
    open: "{{", // The opening token - any length
    close: "}}" // The closing token - can be linebreak by using \n - can also be empty
});

Variables

There are two usable variables inside attribute values textContent and title:

• $content: the content found between the open and close token, without the title if there is one.
• $title: the title found, if there is none it is replaced by the same value as $content.
