Description TODO.
Configurable static file server with markdown-it for parsing Markdown.
objectDefault markdown-it plugin configuration.
objectDefault configuration data; any loaded user configuration is applied on top of the default values, using cosmiconfig.
PromiseResolve the runtime configuration, loading the first user config file found. Searches directories up the path for any of the following files:
.sermitrc.sermitrc.js.sermitrc.json.sermitrc.yaml.sermitrc.ymlAny discovered user config file is merged with the default DefaultConfig object.
PromiseStarts an HTTP server on the configured port, and serves static files out of
the specified basePath. If the basePath is a file, only that file will
be rendered, excluding any resolved assets.
Files provided by the configured template are rendered from disk. Any URLs
ending in /raw have the suffix removed and cause any matching file in
basePath to be rendered like an asset. This allows file contents to be
rendered with a link to the file itself.
If a URL is not an asset or raw file, it is checked against the
matchMarkdownFileNames regex on the provided Config object. Files
that match are passed through markdown-it.
Any remaining URLs are assumed to map to the basePath; if they are files,
they are rendered as source within markdown code fences. Directories trigger
the file explorer if allowed by the configuration.
SignaleCreates a new scoped signale logger instance.
stringConverts the provided absolute path to a path relative to the configured
content root, with a / prefix for linking in rendered HTML.
objectPlugin configuration data.
string | PluginConfigPlugin definition, either a raw module name or config object.
