Micron Parser JS - NPM Version

This NPM package provides a JavaScript parser for Micron, a lightweight, terminal-friendly markdown format used in NomadNet and MeshChatX

The source is published from micron-parser-js.

Requirements

Micron Parser JS requires DOMpurify for HTML/XSS sanitization. You can install it via npm install dompurify

Usage

// Import Micron Parser (requires modules)
import MicronParser from 'micron-parser';

// Create a new parser (darkTheme = true/false | defaults to true, forceMonospace = true/false | defaults to true)
const parser = new MicronParser(true, true);

// Input Micron markup
const micronMarkup = `
> Example Heading
-∿
This is a simple line in Micron.
# This line is a comment and won't appear in the output.
`;

// Convert Micron to an HTML string
const htmlOutput = parser.convertMicronToHtml(micronMarkup);

// Insert it into your page
document.getElementById('yourElement').innerHTML = htmlOutput;

// Or create a DocumentFragment from Micron
const domFragment = parser.convertMicronToFragment(micronMarkup);
// and append it to the DOM
document.body.appendChild(domFragment);

Partials

Micron-parser-js supports embedded partials. The syntax is `{url`refresh`fields} where refresh is the seconds between reloads (must be >= 1) and fields is a |-separated list. A pid=<id> field gives the partial a stable identity for tracking across refreshes.

The parser emits a placeholder <div class="Mu-partial">⧖</div> with all the parsed metadata as data-* attributes. Wire it up with MicronParser.bindPartials(root, fetcher, options?) in your application logic:

const root = document.getElementById('output');
root.innerHTML = parser.convertMicronToHtml(micronMarkup);

const cleanup = MicronParser.bindPartials(root, async ({ destination, fields, id, signal }) => {
    const res = await fetch(`/proxy?path=${encodeURIComponent(destination)}`, { signal });
    return await res.text(); // returned as innerHTML; may also return a Node or { markup: string }
});

// when the view is torn down:
cleanup();

Best practices

For optimal display of Micron content in the browser it's recommended to use a monospaced font with NerdFont icon support, such as the ones provided here.
