Markdown view generator for Angel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With this plug-in, you can easily serve
|
|
|
|
|
static sites without doing more than writing simple Markdown. Thus, it is a friendly
|
|
|
|
|
choice for writing API documentation or other tedious HTML-writing tasks.

# Usage
|

|
|
|
It's very straightforward to configure an Angel server to use Markdown.
|
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind to use `package:file` instead of `dart:io`:
|
2017-08-13 04:24:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
|
|
|
configureServer(Angel app) async {
|
2019-04-11 16:19:12 +00:00
|
|
|
var fs = LocalFileSystem();
|
2017-08-13 04:24:38 +00:00
|
|
|
await app.configure(markdown(
|
|
|
|
|
// The directory where your views are located.
|
2019-04-11 16:19:12 +00:00
|
|
|
fs.directory('views'),
|
2017-08-13 04:24:38 +00:00
|
|
|
));
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can then generate HTML on-the-fly in a request handler.
|
|
|
|
|
Assuming your view directory contained a file named `hello.md`, the
|
|
|
|
|
following would render it as an HTML response:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
|
|
|
configureServer(Angel app) async {
|
|
|
|
|
app.get('/hello', (res) => res.render('hello'));
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`package:angel_markdown` by default searches for files with a `.md` extension; however,
|
|
|
|
|
you can easily override this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Interpolation
|
|
|
|
|
`angel_markdown` can interpolate the values of data from `locals` before building the Markdown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, with the following template `species.md`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
|
|
|
# Species: {{species.name}}
|
|
|
|
|
The species *{{species.genus.name}} {{species.name}}* is fascinating...
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can render as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
|
|
|
requestHandler(ResponseContext res) {
|
|
|
|
|
return res.render('species', {
|
|
|
|
|
'species': new Species('sapiens', genius: 'homo')
|
|
|
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To disable interpolation for a single bracket, prefix it with an `@`, ex: `@{{raw | not_interpolated | angular}}`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Templates
|
|
|
|
|
Markdown is frequently used to build the *content* of sites, but not the templates.
|
|
|
|
|
You might want to wrap the content of pages in a custom template to apply pretty
|
|
|
|
|
CSS and JS, etc:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
|
|
|
configureServer(Angel app) async {
|
|
|
|
|
await app.configure(
|
|
|
|
|
markdown(
|
|
|
|
|
// The directory where your views are located.
|
2019-04-11 16:19:12 +00:00
|
|
|
fs.directory('views'), template: (content, Map locals) {
|
2017-08-13 04:24:38 +00:00
|
|
|
return '''<!DOCTYPE html>
|
|
|
|
|
<html>
|
|
|
|
|
<head>
|
|
|
|
|
<title>${locals['title']} - My Site</title>
|
|
|
|
|
</head>
|
|
|
|
|
<body>
|
|
|
|
|
$content
|
|
|
|
|
</body>
|
|
|
|
|
</html>
|
|
|
|
|
''';
|
|
|
|
|
}),
|
|
|
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `template` function will have access to whatever values were passed to the renderer,
|
|
|
|
|
or an empty `Map`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Enhancing Markdown
|
|
|
|
|
You can pass an `extensionSet` to add additional features to the Markdown renderer.
|
|
|
|
|
By default, this plug-in configures it to enable Github-flavored Markdown.
