mdast extensions to parse and serialize GFM task list items.
Contents
What is this?
This package contains two extensions that add support for GFM task list item
syntax in markdown to mdast.
These extensions plug into
mdast-util-from-markdown
(to support parsing
task lists in markdown into a syntax tree) and
mdast-util-to-markdown
(to support serializing
task lists 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-task-list-item
.
When you don’t need a syntax tree, you can use micromark
directly with micromark-extension-gfm-task-list-item
.
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
.
Install
This package is ESM only.
In Node.js (version 14.14+ and 16.0+), install with npm:
npm install mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown, gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item@1'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown, gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item@1?bundle'
</script>
Use
Say our document example.md
contains:
* [ ] To do
* [x] Done
1. Mixed…
2. [x] …messages
…and our module example.js
looks as follows:
import fs from 'node:fs/promises'
import {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown'
import {toMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-to-markdown'
import {gfmTaskListItem} from 'micromark-extension-gfm-task-list-item'
import {gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown, gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item'
const doc = await fs.readFile('example.md')
const tree = fromMarkdown(doc, {
extensions: [gfmTaskListItem],
mdastExtensions: [gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown]
})
console.log(tree)
const out = toMarkdown(tree, {extensions: [gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown]})
console.log(out)
…now running node example.js
yields (positional info removed for brevity):
{
type: 'root',
children: [
{
type: 'list',
ordered: false,
start: null,
spread: false,
children: [
{
type: 'listItem',
spread: false,
checked: false,
children: [
{type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'To do'}]}
]
},
{
type: 'listItem',
spread: false,
checked: true,
children: [
{type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Done'}]}
]
}
]
},
{
type: 'list',
ordered: true,
start: 1,
spread: false,
children: [
{
type: 'listItem',
spread: false,
checked: null,
children: [
{type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Mixed…'}]}
]
},
{
type: 'listItem',
spread: false,
checked: true,
children: [
{type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: '…messages'}]}
]
}
]
}
]
}
* [ ] To do
* [x] Done
1. Mixed…
2. [x] …messages
API
This package exports the identifiers
gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown
and
gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown

There is no default export.
gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown
Extension for mdast-util-from-markdown

).
gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown
Extension for mdast-util-to-markdown
to enable GFM task lists (ToMarkdownExtension
).
HTML
This utility does not handle how markdown is turned to HTML.

Syntax
See Syntax in micromark-extension-gfm-task-list-item
.
Syntax tree
The following interfaces are added to mdast by this utility.
Nodes
ListItem
(GFM)
interface ListItemGfm <: ListItem {
checked: boolean?
}
In GFM, a checked
field can be present.
It represents whether the item is done (when true
), not done (when false
),
or indeterminate or not applicable (when null
or not present).
Content model
ListContent
(GFM)
type ListContentGfm = ListItemGfm
Types
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
It does not export additional types.
The ListItem
type of the mdast nodes are exposed from @types/mdast
.
Compatibility
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained
versions of Node.js.

Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.
This plugin works with mdast-util-from-markdown
version 1+ and
mdast-util-to-markdown
