Property 'blockTokenizers' does not exist of type 'RemarkParser'

[tmm]

Curious why blockTokenizers aren't added to the type, but blockMethods are.

remark/packages/remark-parse/types/index.d.ts

Lines 6 to 14 in 31905d1

	declare class RemarkParser implements Parser {
	parse(): Node
	blockMethods: string[]
	inlineTokenizers: {
	[key: string]: remarkParse.Tokenizer
	}
	inlineMethods: string[]
	}

I'm trying to override blankLine and get a Property 'blockTokenizers' does not exist of type 'RemarkParser' error:

const blockTokenizers = remarkParse.Parser.prototype.blockTokenizers // type error here
blockTokenizers.blankLine = tokenize.blankLine

Would it work to add the following?

declare class RemarkParser implements Parser { 
  ...
  blockTokenizers: {
    [key: string]: remarkParse.Tokenizer
  }
  ...
}

thanks for triaging quickly.

@ChristianMurphy @tmm can you tell me what the resolution for this was?

This is a question about a feature that was removed two years ago. The resolution is: don’t use 2 year old features. Ask new questions following our support guide to get help.

@wooorm lol fair enough. If you see the above link back you see that this relates to a plugin (remark-grid-tables) that no longer works with remark-parse@9 and so this issue just came up as part of that investigation.

On the chance that migrating plugins is straight forward - do you know how I would convert some some code that looks like this:

export default function plugin () {

  const Parser = this.Parser

  // Inject blockTokenizer
  const blockTokenizers = Parser.prototype.blockTokenizers
  const blockMethods = Parser.prototype.blockMethods
  blockTokenizers.gridTable = gridTableTokenizer
  blockMethods.splice(blockMethods.indexOf('fencedCode') + 1, 0, 'gridTable')

to the remark-parse@10 way of doing things?

The answer to “how to use a plugin that does not work anymore”, namely remark-grid-tables, is solved by looking at the issues of that plugin. As far as I am aware, they are looking for help.
No, it is not trivial. It is extremely complex.
