## What is this?
|
||
|
||
This package contains two extensions that add support for GFM syntax in
|
||
markdown to [mdast][]: autolink literals (`www.x.com`), footnotes (`[^1]`),
|
||
strikethrough (`~~stuff~~`), tables (`| cell |…`), and tasklists (`* [x]`).
|
||
These extensions plug into
|
||
[`mdast-util-from-markdown`][mdast-util-from-markdown] (to support parsing
|
||
GFM in markdown into a syntax tree) and
|
||
[`mdast-util-to-markdown`][mdast-util-to-markdown] (to support serializing
|
||
GFM in syntax trees to markdown).
|
||
|
||
## When to use this
|
||
|
||
This project is useful when you want to support the same features that GitHub
|
||
does in files in a repo, Gists, and several other places.
|
||
Users frequently believe that some of these extensions, specifically autolink
|
||
literals and tables, are part of normal markdown, so using `mdast-util-gfm` will
|
||
help match your implementation to their understanding of markdown.
|
||
There are several edge cases where GitHub’s implementation works in unexpected
|
||
ways or even different than described in their spec, so *writing* in GFM is not
|
||
always the best choice.
|
||
|
||
You can use these extensions when you are working with
|
||
`mdast-util-from-markdown` and `mdast-util-to-markdown` already.
|
||
|
||
When working with `mdast-util-from-markdown`, you must combine this package
|
||
with [`micromark-extension-gfm`][extension].
|
||
|
||
Instead of this package, you can also use the extensions separately:
|
||
|
||
* [`mdast-util-gfm-autolink-literal`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-gfm-autolink-literal)
|
||
— support GFM autolink literals
|
||
* [`mdast-util-gfm-footnote`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-gfm-footnote)
|
||
— support GFM footnotes
|
||
* [`mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough)
|
||
— support GFM strikethrough
|
||
* [`mdast-util-gfm-table`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-gfm-table)
|
||
— support GFM tables
|
||
* [`mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item)
|
||
— support GFM tasklists
|
||
|
||
A different utility, [`mdast-util-frontmatter`][mdast-util-frontmatter], adds
|
||
support for frontmatter.
|
||
GitHub supports YAML frontmatter for files in repos and Gists but they don’t
|
||
treat it as part of GFM.
|
||
|
||
All these packages are used in [`remark-gfm`][remark-gfm], which
|
||
focusses on making it easier to transform content by abstracting these
|
||
internals away.
|
||
|
||
This utility does not handle how markdown is turned to HTML.
|
||
That’s done by [`mdast-util-to-hast`][mdast-util-to-hast].
|
||
If your content is not in English, you should configure that utility.
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
This package is [ESM only][esm].
|
||
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
npm install mdast-util-gfm
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import {gfmFromMarkdown, gfmToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-gfm@3'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<script type="module">
|
||
import {gfmFromMarkdown, gfmToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-gfm@3?bundle'
|
||
</script>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Use
|
||
|
||
Say our document `example.md` contains:
|
||
|
||
```markdown
|
||
# GFM
|
||
|
||
## Autolink literals
|
||
|
||
www.example.com, https://example.com, and contact@example.com.
|
||
|
||
## Footnote
|
||
|
||
A note[^1]
|
||
|
||
[^1]: Big note.
|
||
|
||
## Strikethrough
|
||
|
||
~one~ or ~~two~~ tildes.
|
||
|
||
## Table
|
||
|
||
| a | b | c | d |
|
||
| - | :- | -: | :-: |
|
||
|
||
## Tasklist
|
||
|
||
* [ ] to do
|
||
* [x] done
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
…and our module `example.js` looks as follows:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import fs from 'node:fs/promises'
|
||
import {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown'
|
||
import {gfmFromMarkdown, gfmToMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-gfm'
|
||
import {toMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-to-markdown'
|
||
import {gfm} from 'micromark-extension-gfm'
|
||
|
||
const value = await fs.readFile('example.md', 'utf8')
|
||
|
||
const tree = fromMarkdown(value, {
|
||
extensions: [gfm()],
|
||
mdastExtensions: [gfmFromMarkdown()]
|
||
})
|
||
|
||
console.log(tree)
|
||
|
||
const result = toMarkdown(tree, {extensions: [gfmToMarkdown()]})
|
||
|
||
console.log(result)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
…now running `node example.js` yields (positional info removed for brevity):
|
||
|
||

## HTML
|
||
|

|
||
That’s done by [`mdast-util-to-hast`][mdast-util-to-hast].
|
||
|
||
## Syntax
|
||
|
||
See [Syntax in `micromark-extension-gfm`][syntax].
|
||
|
||
## Syntax tree
|
||
|
||
This utility combines several mdast utilities.
|
||
See their readmes for the node types supported in the tree:
|
||
|
||
* [`mdast-util-gfm-autolink-literal`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-gfm-autolink-literal#syntax-tree)
|
||
— GFM autolink literals
|
||
* [`mdast-util-gfm-footnote`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-gfm-footnote#syntax-tree)
|
||
— GFM footnotes
|
||
* [`mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-gfm-strikethrough#syntax-tree)
|
||
— GFM strikethrough
|
||
* [`mdast-util-gfm-table`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-gfm-table#syntax-tree)
|
||
— GFM tables
|
||
* [`mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item#syntax-tree)
|
||
— GFM tasklists
|
||
|
||
## Types
|
||
|
||
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
|
||
It exports the additional type [`Options`][api-options].
|
||
|
||
The `Delete`, `FootnoteDefinition`, `FootnoteReference`, `Table`, `TableRow`,
|
||
and `TableCell` types of the mdast nodes are exposed from `@types/mdast`.
|
||
|
||
## Compatibility
|
||
|
||
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
|
||
versions of Node.js.
|
||
|
||
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
|
||
Node.
|
||
This means we try to keep the current release line, `mdast-util-gfm@^3`,
|
||
compatible with Node.js 16.
