remark-slate
Transform the contents of a slate 0.50+ editor into markdown and back again.
remark plugin to compile Markdown as a Slate 0.50+ compatible object.
Usage
Slate object to Markdown:
remark-slate exports an opinionated serialize function that is meant to be invoked with a slate 0.50+ state object and will transform the object into a markdown document.
import { serialize } from 'remark-slate';
export default ({ onChange }) => {
const [value, setValue] = useState(initialValue);
React.useEffect(() => {
// serialize slate state to a markdown string
onChange(value.map((v) => serialize(v)).join(''));
}, [onChange, value]);
return (
<Slate editor={editor} value={value} onChange={(value) => setValue(value)}>
<Editable
renderElement={renderElement}
renderLeaf={renderLeaf}
placeholder="Enter some rich text…"
...
/>
...
</Slate>
);
};
Markdown to Slate object:
When deserializing from markdown to slate, this package is meant to be used with remark-parse and unified.
Our JS looks something like this:
import fs from 'fs';
import unified from 'unified';
import markdown from 'remark-parse';
import slate from 'remark-slate';
unified()
.use(markdown)
.use(slate)
.process(fs.readFileSync('example.md'), (err, file) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log({ file });
});
And example.md looks like this:
# Heading one
## Heading two
### Heading three
#### Heading four
##### Heading five
###### Heading six
Normal paragraph
_italic text_
**bold text**
~~strike through text~~
[hyperlink](https://jackhanford.com)
> A block quote.
