meta data in markdown files

[4e576rt8uh9ij9okp]

Hi there,
I want to add some meta data into the markdown files maybe something like:

title: About Page
description: I have no friends
-----
# About Page

How could I do this?
So anything below the ----- lines would be parsed but anything above wouldn't, it would be just for the sake of getting the meta data.

Or would it be better to just .split("-----") and then parse the meta data with my own function and pass the other half (markdown) to the marked parser?

You can use the preprocess hook to parse front-matter before the markdown

import { marked } from 'marked';
import fm from 'front-matter';

// Override function
const hooks = {
  preprocess(markdown) {
    const { attributes, body } = fm(markdown);
    for (const prop in attributes) {
      if (prop in this.options) {
        this.options[prop] = attributes[prop];
      }
    }
    return body;
  }
};

marked.use({ hooks });

// Run marked
console.log(marked.parse(`
---
headerIds: false
---

## test
`.trim()));
