gulp-reflinks

Gulp plugin for reflinks. Lints a markdown string to find missing reflinks for npm package names, resolves the homepage or repository url from npm, and appends a valid reflink to the document.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your ❤️ and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save gulp-reflinks

Usage

What does this do?

• Finds reflinks like [gulp][] or [gulp]
• Resolves the homepage or repository.url from npm
• Appends [gulp]: http://gulpjs.com to the markdown string
• Does not add (duplicate) reflinks that already exist in the document

Why should I use use this?

gulp-reflinks makes it easy to write documentation that references other libraries, by simply adding the name, like [foo][], without having to remember or write the entire URL to the GitHub repository.

Must be a valid npm name

For reflinks to be fixed, the reflink text must match the name of a valid npm package. For example [Foo Bar][] won't be fixed, but [gulp][] would.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var reflinks = require('gulp-reflinks');
 
gulp.task('default', function() {
  return gulp.src('*.md')
    .pipe(reflinks())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});
