This remark plugin parses and renders [[Wiki Links]].

• Parse wiki-style links and render them as anchors
• Differentiate between "new" and "existing" wiki links by giving the parser a list of existing permalinks
• Parse aliased wiki links i.e [[Real Page|Page Alias]]

Looking for lower level packages? Check out @braindb/mdast-util-wiki-link for working with ASTs and @braindb/micromark-extension-wiki-link for working with tokens.

Usage

const unified = require("unified");
const markdown = require("remark-parse");
const remarkWikiLink = require("@braindb/remark-wiki-link");

let processor = unified().use(markdown, { gfm: true }).use(remarkWikiLink);

When the processor is run, wiki links will be parsed to a wikiLink node.

If we have this markdown string:

[[Test Page]]

{
    value: 'Test Page',
    data: {
        alias: 'Test Page',
        permalink: 'Test Page',
        hName: 'a',
        hProperties: {
            href: 'Test Page',
        },
        hChildren: [{
            type: 'text',
            value: 'Test Page'
        }]
    }
}

• value: slug of the page
• data.alias: The display name for this link
• data.permalink: The permalink for this page. This permalink is computed from node.value using options.linkResolver, which can be passed in when initializing the plugin.
• data.hProperties.href: href value for the rendered a. This href is computed using options.hrefTemplate.

The hName and other h fields provide compatibility with rehype.

When rendered to HTML, we get:

<a href="Test Page">Test Page</a>

Configuration options

• options.linkResolver (pageName: string) -> string: A function that maps a page name to an array of possible permalinks. These possible permalinks are cross-referenced with options.permalinks to determine whether a page exists. If a page doesn't exist, the first element of the array is considered the permalink.

  The default linkResolver is:

  (name) => name;

• options.linkTemplate ({ slug: string, permalink: string, alias: string | null }) -> HAST: A function that generates "HAST" for link.

  The default linkTemplate is:

  function defaultLinkTemplate({ slug, permalink, alias }) {
    return {
      hName: "a",
      hProperties: { href: permalink == null ? slug : permalink },
      hChildren: [{ type: "text", value: alias == null ? slug : alias }],
    };
  }

• options.aliasDivider: a string for aliased pages. . Defaults to "|".

Aliasing pages

Aliased pages are supported with the following markdown syntax:

[[Real Page|Page Alias]]

The AST node will look like:

{
    value: 'Real Page',
    data: {
        alias: 'Page Alias',
        permalink: 'Real Page',
        hName: 'a',
        hProperties: {
            href: 'Real Page'
        },
        hChildren: [{
            type: 'text',
            value: 'Page Alias'
        }]
    }
}

And will produce this HTML when rendered:

<a href="Real Page">Page Alias</a>
