Remark Loader

Load markdown through remark.

Usage

Simply add the loader to your configuration, and pass options.

import md from "markdown-file.md";

console.log(md);

webpack.config.js

import RemarkHTML from "remark-html";

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.md$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: "html-loader",
          },
          {
            loader: "remark-loader",
            options: {
              remarkOptions: {
                plugins: [RemarkHTML],
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Here's the full list of remark plugins.

array

If need to specify options for the plugin, you can pass the plugin using an array, where the second argument will be the options.

import RemarkBookmarks from "remark-bookmarks";
import RemarkFrontmatter from "remark-frontmatter";

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.md$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: "remark-loader",
            options: {
              remarkOptions: {
                plugins: [
                  RemarkFrontmatter,
                  [
                    RemarkBookmarks,
                    {
                      bookmarks: {
                        npm: "https://npmjs.com/package/remark-bookmarks",
                      },
                    },
                  ],
                ],
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

settings

Remark settings

Type:

type settings = object;

Default: undefined

Pass remark-stringify options and remark-parse options to remark.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.md$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: "remark-loader",
            options: {
              remarkOptions: {
                settings: {
                  bullet: "+",
                  listItemIndent: "1",
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

data

Information available to all plugins

Type:

type data = object;

Default: undefined

Configure remark with information available to all plugins. This information is stored in an in-memory key-value store.

webpack.config.js

function examplePluginUsingData() {
  console.log(this.data);
  // { alpha: 'bravo', charlie: 'delta' }
}

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.md$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: "remark-loader",
            options: {
              remarkOptions: {
                plugins: [examplePluginUsingData],
                data: {
                  alpha: "bravo",
                  charlie: "delta",
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

removeFrontMatter

Remove removeFrontMatter

Type:

type removeFrontMatter = boolean;

Default: true

By default, the frontMatter is removed. To override this behavior, set removeFrontMatter to false and add remark-frontmatter to plugins.

webpack.config.js

import RemarkFrontmatter from "remark-frontmatter";

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.md$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: "remark-loader",
            options: {
              removeFrontMatter: false,
              remarkOptions: {
                plugins: [RemarkFrontmatter],
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Inspiration

This project was inspired the following open source work:

Examples

Markdown to HTML

To get HTML, you need to add remark-html to the remark plugins and add html-loader to your webpack.config.js

import md from "markdown-file.md";

console.log(md);

webpack.config.js

import RemarkHTML from "remark-html";

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.md$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: "html-loader",
          },
          {
            loader: "remark-loader",
            options: {
              remarkOptions: {
                plugins: [RemarkHTML],
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Markdown to Markdown

index.js

import md from "markdown-file.md";

console.log(md);

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.md$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: "remark-loader",
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};
