react-remark

React Remark is a light weight React component for embedding markdown into react components using Remarkable.

Installation

The easiest way to use react-remark is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process.

npm install react-remark --save

You can also use the standalone build by including dist/react-remark.js in your page. If you use this, make sure you have already included React, and it is available as a global variable.

Usage

Import and use react remark like so:

import React from 'react';
import ReactRemark from 'react-remark';

class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <ReactRemark source={'# This is markdown!'}>;
  }
}

Properties

Props	Type	Description
source	string	String containing the markdown that needs to be parsed.
html	bool	Enable HTML tags in the source.

Demo & Examples

Check out the live demo for react-remark.

To build the examples locally, run:

npm install
npm start

Then open localhost:8000 in a browser.

Development (src, lib and the build process)

NOTE: The source code for the component is in src. A transpiled CommonJS version (generated with Babel) is available in lib for use with node.js, browserify and webpack. A UMD bundle is also built to dist, which can be included without the need for any build system.

To build, watch and serve the examples (which will also watch the component source), run npm start. If you just want to watch changes to src and rebuild lib, run npm run watch (this is useful if you are working with npm link).
