github-markdown-batch-render

Batch render markdowns via GitHub-API

For batch-rendering an array of Markdown strings via GitHub's API (using Octokit/REST).

Uses only 1 GitHub-API request to render all the markdown strings.

Useful for mitigating GitHub's API's request rate-limit.

Install

npm i github-markdown-batch-render

Usage

Basic usage:

const markdowns = [
    '**bold** _italic_', 
    '# Title\n\nParagrapgh', 
    '```\nCodeblock\n```'
]
const renderedMarkdowns = await ghMdBatchRender(markdowns)
/**
 * 'renderedMarkdowns' will be: [
 *     '<p><strong>bold</strong> <em>italic</em></p>',
 *     '<h1>Title</h1>\n<p>Paragrapgh</p>',
 *     '<pre class="notranslate"><code class="notranslate">Codeblock\n</code></pre>'
 * ]
 */

Force use an Octokit instance:

const octokit = new Octokit({ auth: 'personalaccesstoken' })
const renderedMarkdowns = await ghMdBatchRender(markdowns, { octokit })

Passing mode / context option(s) to the Octokit.rest.markdown.render method:

Note: ghMdBatchRender's mode option defaults to "gfm" unlike Octokit, which defaults to "markdown".

const renderedMarkdowns = await ghMdBatchRender(markdowns, {
    mode: 'markdown', // default is "gfm"
    context: 'github/linguist',
})
