parsedown

Light touch Markdown parsing into HTML written in Rust. Generates WASM and can be used with Deno Fresh.

adds an id and anchor link to each h2 heading for easy linking
adds pretty punctuation
uses html5ever for HTML manipulation and pulldown-cmark for Markdown parsing

Using Module

The module is hosted on deno.x, and you can import directly into your TypeScript project (no need to touch WASM or Rust source). See the later sections below if you want to compile the WASM yourself.

Parse Markdown to HTML

import {
  markdownToHtml,
  markdownToPlaintext,
  mjmlToHtml,
} from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";

const { errors, headings, html, statistics } = await markdownToHtml(
  `
## 👋🏽 Hello You

* alpha
* beta
`,
  {},
);

/*
errors: "undefined"

headings: [{
  heading: "👋🏽 Hello You",
  id: "wave-skin-tone-4-hello-you",
}]

html: `<h2 id="wave-skin-tone-4-hello-you">👋🏽 Hello You <a href="#wave-skin-tone-4-hello-you" class="heading-anchor">#</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>alpha</li>
<li>beta</li>
</ul>
`

statistics: {
  reading_time: 1, // in minutes
  word_count: 4
}
*/

const { html } = await markdownToHtml(
  "Nobody likes maple in their apple flavoured Snapple.",
  { searchTerm: "apple" },
);

html:
`<p>Nobody likes maple in their <mark id="search-match">apple</mark> flavoured Sn<mark>apple</mark></p>`;

Note the id added to the first search match. You can use this to scroll the first match into view.

Parse Markdown to Plain Text

import {
  markdownToHtml,
  markdownToPlaintext,
  mjmlToHtml,
} from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";

const plaintext = await markdownToPlaintext(
  `
## 👋🏽 Hello You

* alpha
* beta

[Example Link](https://example.com/)
`,
  {},
);

/*
plaintext: `👋🏽 Hello You

- alpha

- beta

Example Link (https://example.com/)
`
*/

Parse MJML (email template) to HTML

import {
  markdownToHtml,
  markdownToPlaintext,
  mjmlToHtml,
} from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";

const html = await mjmlToHtml("<mjml></mjml>");

/*
plaintext: `<!doctype html><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"><head><title></title><!--[if !mso]><!--><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"><!--<![endif]--><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Compile WASM (see next section instead, if working with Deno)

Method above is tested with Deno, you only need to compile the WASM yourself if you have issues in other runtimes or are customizing the Rust source code for your own needs.

Clone the project and change into the project directory. Then run these commands:

cargo install wasm-pack # skip if you already have it installed
wasm-pack build --target web

Copy the generated pkg folder into your JavaScript or TypeScript project.
Import and use the code in one of your project source files (expected output is as shown in previous section):

Parse Markdown to HTML

import init, {
  markdown_to_html,
  markdown_to_plaintext,
  mjml_to_html,
} from "pkg/parsedown.js";

await init();

// alternative if top level await is not available
(async () => {
  await init();
})();

const { errors, headings, html, statistics } = await markdown_to_html(
  `
## 👋🏽 Hello You

* alpha
* beta
`,
  {},
);

Parse Markdown to Plain Text

import init, {
  markdown_to_html,
  markdown_to_plaintext,
  mjml_to_html,
} from "pkg/parsedown.js";

await init();

const plaintext = markdown_to_plaintext(
  `
## 👋🏽 Hello You

* alpha
* beta

[Example Link](https://example.com/)
`,
  {},
);

Parse MJML (email template) to HTML

import init, {
  markdown_to_html,
  markdown_to_plaintext,
  mjml_to_html,
} from "pkg/parsedown.js";

await init();

const html = await mjml_to_html("<mjml></mjml>");

You must call init once before using any of the other functions.

Compile WASM in Deno project

If you are working in Deno, you will probably find the wasmbuild package useful.

Add a wasmbuild task to your deno.json file:

{
  "tasks": {
    // ...TRUNCATED
    "wasmbuild": "deno run -A https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/main.ts"
  }
  // TRUNCATED...
}

Run deno task wasmbuild new to initialize wasmbuild in your project. This will create a skeleton WASM project with an rs_lib directory.
Clone this repo and replace the contents of the rs_lib/src directory in your project with the contents of this repo’s src directory. Also replace rs_lib/Cargo.toml with Cargo.toml from this repo.
Run the deno task wasmbuild command. This will generate JavaScript code and WASM modules from the Rust source code. In particular, there should now be lib/rs_lib_bg.wasm and lib/rs_lib.generated.js files in your project.

You can now use the library functions in your JavaScript or TypeScript code. Usage is only slightly different from the descriptions above.

You can import the functions from lib/rs_lib.generated.js:

import {
  instantiate,
  markdown_to_html,
  markdown_to_plaintext,
  mjml_to_html,
} from "@/lib/rs_lib.generated.js";

Before using any of the functions call instantiate:

await instantiate();

The functions will now work as above:

const { errors, headings, html, statistics } = await markdown_to_html(
  `
## 👋🏽 Hello You

* alpha
* beta
 `,
  {},
);

const plaintext = markdown_to_plaintext(
  `
## 👋🏽 Hello You

* alpha
* beta

[Example Link](https://example.com/)
`,
  {},
);

const html = mjml_to_html("<mjml></mjml>");
