Svelte Markdown

!NPM

A markdown parser that renders into Svelte Components. Forked from svelte-markdown cause it was not merging PRs or upadting the project since December 2023.

This is the same code as svelte-markdown with up-to-date dependencies and removed deprecated dependencies. It keeps using marked.

Installation

Install it with npm

``console
$ npm i -S svelte-marked
`

or yarn

`console
$ yarn add svelte-marked

With SvelteKit add it as a dev dependency


$ yarn add -D svelte-marked
`

Usage

`html



`

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

Renderers

To create custom renderer for an element, you can create a Svelte component with the default props (you can check them here), for example:

_ImageComponent.svelte_
`svelte


src={href}
{title}
alt={text}
/>
`

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

`svelte


renderers={{ image: ImageComponent }}
/>
`

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



`

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



`

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 ( ) - heading - Heading ( - ) - codespan - Inline code () - code - Block of code ( ) - html - HTML node $3 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 ` 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. $3 To use inline markdown, 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 svelte-marked ` And then import it like in the example above. As of now the only external dependency of this project is marked`.
