unist-util-add

unist-util-add is a utility for enhancing the unist ecosystem by providing an easy way to add extensions for toMarkdown, micromark, and fromMarkdown to unified data objects. It simplifies working with markdown processing libraries like remark and micromark by offering a straightforward API to add plugins.

Installation

You can install unist-util-add using npm or yarn:

``bash
npm install unist-util-add

yarn add unist-util-add

pnpm add unist-util-add
`

Usage

Here's how you can use the add function provided by unist-util-add to augment your unist data with extensions:

`js
import { add } from 'unist-util-add'
import type { Data } from 'unified'
import type { Options as ToMarkdownExtension } from 'mdast-util-to-markdown'
import type { Extension as MicromarkExtension } from 'micromark-util-types'
import type { Extension as FromMarkdownExtension } from 'mdast-util-from-markdown'

// Example data object
const data: Data = {}

// Example extensions
const toMarkdownExt: ToMarkdownExtension = {/ your toMarkdown extension /}
const micromarkExt: MicromarkExtension = {/ your micromark extension /}
const fromMarkdownExt: FromMarkdownExtension = {/ your fromMarkdown extension /}

// Add extensions to data
add(data, 'toMarkdownExtensions', toMarkdownExt)
add(data, 'micromarkExtensions', micromarkExt)
add(data, 'fromMarkdownExtensions', fromMarkdownExt)
`

API

$3

The add function allows you to add extensions to a unist data object.

#### Parameters

- data: The unist data object where the extension should be added.
- field: A string representing the field name, which can be one of 'toMarkdownExtensions', 'micromarkExtensions', or 'fromMarkdownExtensions'.
- value: The extension to add, which can be a ToMarkdownExtension, MicromarkExtension, FromMarkdownExtension, or an array of FromMarkdownExtension.

#### Supported Fields

- toMarkdownExtensions: Extensions that modify the markdown-to-markdown transformation process.
- micromarkExtensions: Extensions that modify the micromark parsing process.
- fromMarkdownExtensions: Extensions that modify the markdown-to-unist tree transformation process.

How It Works

The add function checks if the provided field already exists in the data object. If it does, it pushes the new value onto the existing array. If the field does not exist, it creates a new array with the value as its first item.

For the fromMarkdownExtensions, if an array of extensions is provided, it appends the entire array to the existing list of extensions.

Why Use unist-util-add?

- Simplifies Plugin Management: Easily manage extensions by providing a unified API for different types of extensions.
- Improves Readability: Makes your codebase cleaner by reducing the boilerplate required to manage unist data fields.
- Flexible: Supports adding multiple types of extensions in a consistent manner.
