Postcast

A react component to create a postcast using markdown files.

Install

Postcast requires react and react-dom as peer dependencies.

npm install postcast react react-dom

Usage

With URL

You can specify a url pointing to a markdown file using the src config:

import React from 'react'
import Postcast from 'postcast'

export default () => <Postcast src="/guides/getting-started.md" />

With inline markdown

Markdown can be passed using a children function:

import React from 'react'
import Postcast from 'postcast'

export default () => (
  <Postcast lang="es-AR">
    {() => `#Hola Mundo!`}
  </Postcast>
)

Higlighting code

Postcast uses highlight.js internally to parse code fence blocks in markdown. You should load the css file of your choice for highlight themes.

import React from 'react'
import Postcast from 'postcast'

// eslint-disable-next-line 
import css from 'highlight.js/styles/atom-one-light.css'

export default () => <Postcast src="/guides/getting-started.md" />

Documentation

• src {String}: url pointing to a markdown file.
• file {File}: a File object that points to a markdown file. If this is present src is ignored
• lang {String}: The language in the format IETF. Example: en-US (English as used in the United States)
• phonemes {Object}: A map of {word: phoneme} to be used for all occurrencies. The phoneme is a String but it must be defined in between /. Example: { yaml: '/yæməl/' }

YAML configuration

Markdown files can contain YAML configuration blocks (frontmatter). These are the configs that are read by Postcast:

• title: If present, it will generate an h1 tag with the title value.
• lang: If present, it will override the lang configuration.
• phonemes: if present, it will override the phonemes configuration.
