Markdown Previewer

This binary helps you preview markdown files in the web with reloading support while watching for changes.

Demo

Usage

md-previewer --file=path/to/file.md

Neovim Plugin

• Installation:

-- lazy.nvim
{
  'datsfilipe/md-previewer',
  cmd = 'MdPreviewer',
  ft = 'markdown',
  -- this is for downloading the binaries from the latest release
  build = ":lua dofile(vim.fn.stdpath('data') .. '/lazy/md-previewer/lua/build.lua')",
  opts = {
    quiet = true, -- default is false but rn it has no real usage :0
  },
}

-- packer.nvim
use {
  'datsfilipe/md-previewer',
  cmd = 'MdPreviewer',
  ft = 'markdown',
  -- this is for compiling the binaries with bun
  run = 'bun install && bun compile',
  config = function()
    require('md-previewer').setup({
      quiet = true, -- default is false but rn it has no real usage :0
    })
  end,
}

Troubleshooting

• If you're not using bun to compile the binaries, you might need to set them as executables. For example, on Linux you can do chmod +x /path/to/lazy/md-previewer/bin/*. On other platforms you might want to search and see how it works.

Development

It's as any bun project, just run bun run dev --file=path/to/file.md to preview a file. bun compile will generate the binaries.

• Neovim Plugin:

I'm using direnv to manage some env vars for Neovim to load the plugin right away instead of the init.lua in your ~/.config/nvim folder. You might want to look into it. To use direnv for this simple do mv .envrc1 .envrc and direnv allow.

• Any other enhancements are welcome :0
