grunt-markade

A Markade build step for grunt

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-markade --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-markade');

The "markade" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named markade to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  markade: {
    tem: {
      options: {
        "template": "template.jade"
      },
      files: {
        'output.html': "data.md"
      }
    },
  },
});

Options

options.template

Type: String Default value: empty.jade

A file path to the Jade template. If none is specified it simply parses out all Markdown content.

options.jade

Type: Object Default value: {}

An object with options to pass to Jade.compile. Values like pretty: true.

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to compile a Markade file. So if file.md has content **bold** text then default.html would be <b>bold</b> text.

grunt.initConfig({
  markade: {
    no_template: {
      options: {},
      files: {
        'dest/default.html': ["src/file.md"],
      },
    }
  },
});

Template

Add a template option to parse the data through the Jade template.

grunt.initConfig({
  markade: {
    layout: {
      options: {
        template: 'templates/layout.jade'
      },
      files: {
        'index.html': 'index.md'
      },
    }
  },
});

Directory

You can compile all files in a directory.

grunt.initConfig({
  markade: {
    options: {
      template: 'templates/layout.jade'
    },
    files: {
      'public': ['index.md', 'about.md', 'contact.md']
    },
  },
});
 
#### Jade Options
 
You can pass objects to Jade.
 
```js
grunt.initConfig({
  markade: {
    with_layout: {
      options: {
        "template": "templates/index.jade",
        "jade": {
          "pretty": true
        }
      },
      files: {
        "public/index.html": "data/index.md"
      }
    }
  },
});
