Advanced tools
A simple, minimal, Markdown-based file-based wiki/blog middleware component for express intended for small sites.
$ npm install platformjs-wiki
app.use( require("platformjs-wiki")("./wiki") );
The above setup will create an in-memory database of all the files in the directory and add this to the res.locals array under the "wiki" variable. Thus the entire content of the wiki is accessible to every rendered template on the site. (This obviously is not intended for large wikis, but rather small sites.)
As stated, the module is, by design, quite simple.
The middleware essentially does this:
{{{ }}} section, evaluate that as JSONcontent field into the optional JSON sectionres.locals.wiki variableFAQs

We found that platformjs-wiki demonstrated a not healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released a year ago. It has 1 open source maintainer collaborating on the project.
