vite-remark-html

Process markdown with remark-html

Basically, when you import a .md file, you'll get back a JS module with an HTML string as its default export. There are various options to customize the HTML output.

 

Usage

import remarkHtml from 'vite-remark-html'

export default {
  plugins: [remarkHtml()],
}

Remark plugins

To add Remark plugins, call the use method on the Vite plugin. It returns the Vite plugin, so you can easily chain together multiple .use calls.

import remarkHtml from 'vite-remark-html'
import remarkSlug from 'remark-slug'

export default {
  plugins: [remarkHtml().use(remarkSlug)],
}

Filter options

Markdown files can be filtered, in case you only want a subset to be processed by this plugin.

remarkHtml({
  exclude: /\/node_modules\//,
})

For more details, see here.

HTML options

All options listed here are also supported.

remarkHtml({
  allowDangerousHtml: true,
})

Using the HTML

In your client code, you can use import or dynamic import() to load the HTML string.

import html from './test.md'
// or
const htmlPromise = import('./test.md').then(module => module.default)

Then you can use that as the innerHTML of another element.

document.getElementById('markdown').innerHTML = html
// or
<div dangerouslySetInnerHtml={{ __html: html }} />

TypeScript usage

In your tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["vite-remark-html/client"]
  }
}

This lets you import .md files with type-checking support.
