markdown-it-fa-bullet-list

A markdown-it plugin to use font awesome icons in a list.

What it does

Adds appropriate classes and font awesome icons to bulleted lists as per the font awesome recommended documentation:

• Adds .fa-ul to any bulleted list
• Prepends necessary html to any list item <span class="fa-li"><i class="fas fa-check-square"></i></span>

Note: This package does not load the necessary font awesome dependencies for styling or SVG conversion. Learn more about add Font Awesome to you project at https://fontawesome.com/start.

Installation

npm install --save-dev markdown-it-fa-bullet-list

Usage

Use it the same as a normal markdown-it plugin:

const md = require('markdown-it');
const faBulletedLists = require('markdown-it-fa-bullet-list');
 
const parser = md().use(faBulletedLists);
 
let result = parser.render(...); // markdown string containing task list items

The default icon is the solid style check-square: fas fa-check-square; to change this, pass the desired icon class to the class option:

const parser = md().use(faBulletedLists, {class: "fas fa-heart"});

Tests

npm install
npm test
