mdparser

mdparser is a simple markdown parser built in typescript. It returns an AST (Abstract syntax tree) of the input the user provided

How to use?

Here are simple steps to use mdparser

Initialize a lexer

const lexer = new Lexer(
	"_Hello **World**_ `Code is fantastic`\n### Hello World",
);

The lexer will turn the markdown source code into a series of token. Tokens are used as values for the AST nodes. The lexer takes the markdown source code as a parameter.

Initialize a parser

const parser = new Parser(lexer);

Initializing a parser is as simple as creating a new Parser object and passing in the lexer as a parameter.

Get the markdown source code structure

const lexer = new Lexer(
	"_Hello **World**_ `Code is fantastic`\n### Hello World",
);

const parser = new Parser(lexer);
const structure: ASTNode = parser.rootStmt()
console.log(JSON.stringify(structure));

The parser.rootStmt() method is used to get the entire structure of the source code.

Transpile the markdown source code into html

import { Lexer } from ".src/lexer.ts";
import { Parser } from ".src/parser.ts";
import { toHtml } from ".src/html.ts";

const data = `### Section
- List n 1
- List n 2
- List n 3
- List n 4
**Test _test_**
   \`hhhh\`
`;
const lexer = new Lexer(data);
const parser = new Parser(lexer);
console.log(toHtml(parser.rootStmt()));

For testing only, run npm run test

test.ts is located at src/test.ts
