mdast extensions to parse and serialize GFM strikethrough.
Contents
What is this?
This package contains two extensions that add support for GFM strikethrough
syntax in markdown to mdast.
These extensions plug into
mdast-util-from-markdown
(to support parsing
strikethrough in markdown into a syntax tree) and
mdast-util-to-markdown
(to support serializing
strikethrough in syntax trees to markdown).
When to use this
You can use these extensions when you are working with
mdast-util-from-markdown
and mdast-util-to-markdown
already.
When working with mdast-util-from-markdown
, you must combine this package
with micromark-extension-gfm-strikethrough
.
When you don’t need a syntax tree, you can use micromark
directly with micromark-extension-gfm-strikethrough
.
When you are working with syntax trees and want all of GFM, use
mdast-util-gfm
instead.
All these packages are used remark-gfm
, which
focusses on making it easier to transform content by abstracting these
internals away.
This utility does not handle how markdown is turned to HTML.
That’s done by mdast-util-to-hast
.
If you want a different element, you should configure that utility.
Install
This package is ESM only.
In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {gfmStrikethroughFromMarkdown, gfmStrikethroughToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough@2'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {gfmStrikethroughFromMarkdown, gfmStrikethroughToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough@2?bundle'
</script>
Use
Say our document example.md
contains:
*Emphasis*, **importance**, and ~~strikethrough~~.
…and our module example.js
looks as follows:
import fs from 'node:fs/promises'
import {gfmStrikethrough} from 'micromark-extension-gfm-strikethrough'
import {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown'
import {gfmStrikethroughFromMarkdown, gfmStrikethroughToMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough'
import {toMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-to-markdown'
const doc = await fs.readFile('example.md')
const tree = fromMarkdown(doc, {
extensions: [gfmStrikethrough()],
mdastExtensions: [gfmStrikethroughFromMarkdown()]
})
console.log(tree)
const out = toMarkdown(tree, {extensions: [gfmStrikethroughToMarkdown()]})
console.log(out)
Now, running node example
yields:
{
type: 'root',
children: [
{
type: 'paragraph',
children: [
{type: 'emphasis', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Emphasis'}]},
{type: 'text', value: ', '},
{type: 'strong', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'importance'}]},
{type: 'text', value: ', and '},
{type: 'delete', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'strikethrough'}]},
{type: 'text', value: '.'}
]
}
]
}
*Emphasis*, **importance**, and ~~strikethrough~~.
API
This package exports the identifiers
gfmStrikethroughFromMarkdown
and
gfmStrikethroughToMarkdown
.
There is no default export.
gfmStrikethroughFromMarkdown()
Create an extension for mdast-util-from-markdown
to enable GFM strikethrough in markdown.
Returns
Extension for mdast-util-from-markdown
to enable GFM strikethrough
(FromMarkdownExtension
).
gfmStrikethroughToMarkdown()
Create an extension for mdast-util-to-markdown
to
enable GFM strikethrough in markdown.
Returns
Extension for mdast-util-to-markdown
to enable GFM strikethrough
(ToMarkdownExtension
).
HTML
This utility does not handle how markdown is turned to HTML.
That’s done by mdast-util-to-hast
.
If you want a different element, you should configure that utility.
Syntax
See Syntax in micromark-extension-gfm-strikethrough
.
Syntax tree
The following interfaces are added to mdast by this utility.
Nodes
Delete
interface Delete <: Parent {
type: 'delete'
children: [TransparentContent]
}
Delete (Parent) represents contents that are no longer
accurate or no longer relevant.
Delete can be used where phrasing
content is expected.
Its content model is transparent content.
For example, the following markdown:
~~alpha~~
Yields:
{
type: 'delete',
children: [{type: 'text', value: 'alpha'}]
}
Content model
PhrasingContent
(GFM strikethrough)
type PhrasingContentGfm = Delete | PhrasingContent
Types
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
It does not export additional types.
The Delete
type of the mdast node is exposed from @types/mdast
.
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,
mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough@^2
, compatible with Node.js 16.
This utility works with mdast-util-from-markdown
version 2+ and
mdast-util-to-markdown
version 2+.
