marked-lexer-loader

Accepts Markdown as input, and outputs a module exporting the lexed Markdown using marked.

This loader does not render Markdown to HTML. There are already several loaders that do. This loader is intended to be used for processing Markdown as an AST.

Usage

module: {
  rules: [{
    test: /\.md$/,
    use: {
      loader: 'markdown-lexer-loader',
      options: {
        // All options are passed to marked, merging with marked’s defaults:
        // https://github.com/chjj/marked#options-1
      }
  }]
}

options are merged with marked’s default options and passed to marked.lexer(source, options).

See additional documentation on using loaders.

Example output

To give a better idea of what this loader does, the Markdown snippet

# Hello, world
This is some Markdown

turns into

export default [{"type":"heading","depth":1,"text":"Hello, world"},{"type":"paragraph","text":"This is some Markdown"}]
