@flatbread/transformer-markdown

Transform Markdown files into content that can be fetched with GraphQL. If you're using a CMS like NetlifyCMS, you'll want to pair this with the source-filesystem plugin.

💾 Install

Use pnpm, npm, or yarn:

pnpm i @flatbread/transformer-markdown

👩‍🍳 Usage

Pair this with a compatible source plugin in your flatbread.config.js file:

// flatbread.config.js
import defineConfig from '@flatbread/config';
import transformer from '@flatbread/transformer-markdown';
import filesystem from '@flatbread/source-filesystem';

const transformerConfig = {
  markdown: {
    gfm: true,
    externalLinks: true,
  },
};

export default defineConfig({
  source: filesystem({ extensions: ['.md', '.mdx', '.markdown'] }),
  transformer: transformer(transformerConfig),
  content: [
    {
      path: 'content/posts',
      collection: 'Post',
      refs: {
        authors: 'Author',
      },
    },
    {
      path: 'content/authors',
      collection: 'Author',
      refs: {
        friend: 'Author',
      },
    },
  ],
});

Refer to your source plugin's documentation for the relevant content Flatbread config option.

Please excuse what I'm about to do as I CTRL + C, CTRL + V my types file and hand it off to you as the official API docs for this plugin. If anyone wants to pretty this up, please bust open a PR 💜
