remark-images

remark plugin to add an improved image syntax.

Install

npm:

npm install remark-images

Use

Say we have the following file, example.md:

#### A url

Below will render an image:

https://c8r-x0.s3.amazonaws.com/lab-components-macbook.jpg

And our script, example.js, looks as follows:

const vfile = require('to-vfile')
const remark = require('remark')
const images = require('remark-images')

remark()
  .use(images)
  .process(vfile.readSync('example.md'), function(err, file) {
    if (err) throw err
    console.log(String(file))
  })

Now, running node example yields:

#### A url

Below will render an image:

[![](https://c8r-x0.s3.amazonaws.com/lab-components-macbook.jpg)](https://c8r-x0.s3.amazonaws.com/lab-components-macbook.jpg)

API

remark().use(images)

Add an improved image syntax. Transform URLs in text that reference images (png, svg, jpg, jpeg, or gif) to images.

Supported URLs / URIs:

• https://example.com/image.jpg
• /image.jpg
• ./image.jpg
• ../image.jpg

Security

Although this plugin should be safe to use, always be careful with user input. For example, it’s possible to hide JavaScript inside images (such as GIFs, WebPs, and SVGs). User provided images open you up to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.

This may become a problem if the Markdown later transformed to rehype (hast) or opened in an unsafe Markdown viewer.
