Wasm CMark Parse

A Wasm based wrapper around the rust package pulldown-cmark.

There is one entry point for this module parse_markdown. This function takes a CommonMark formatted string and returns a valid HTML string.

This package can be used from either NodeJS or in the browsers. To see it working you can try running either of the projects in the example folder, after cloning the repository.

NodeJS

This project will read in a markdown file and write it to an HTML file an example markdown file called in.md in that folder. To see it in action simply run the following commands.

cd ./examples/node
npm i
npm start

If you wanted to adjust the output you could either adjust the contents of in.md or you could run the command manually with the following.

node ./index.js -i [path to md file] -o [output path]

Browser

This project is a simple web form with one textarea element. Adding markdown into this input will update the left half of the page with the generated HTML.

To run this project you will also run the following

cd ./examples/browser
npm i
npm start

This will use webpack-dev-server to compile the project and spin up a local server. Typically the application can be loaded at http://localhost:8080, though the console will tell you what port it is actually available on.

The md parsing is on a timeout that will update shortly after your last key press.
