This addon provides a means to generate html formatted markup from
markdown source. The ShowdownJS
library is leveraged to generate the html and this addon has been
designed to be globally configured at the application's
environment.js
level.
It is worth mentioning that Markdown was created by John Gruber and the ShowdownJS library was authored by John Fraser and is a vanilla port of Gruber's original works.
ember install ember-cli-marked-down
Check out the demo application.
Notice: this addon will be converting Markdown source in the
client (browser). The produced HTML
is passed to Ember.String.htmlSafe(...)
to attempt to filter any
XSS attempts. This is not fool-proof. Know your user audience and
assume all risks.
Check out ShowdownJS's wiki post about XSS for additional information.
{{marked-down "Some __markdown__ text"}}
The helper that produces html from the supplied markdown. Override Showdown's options by passing named arguments to the helper.
String
is the only unnamed argument passed
into the helper.{{marked-down 'Some __markdown__ text'}}
...yields:
<p>Some <strong>markdown</strong> text</p>
Passing in a Showdown option:
{{marked-down 'Some ~~struck~~ markdown text' strikethrough=true}}
...yields
<p>Some <del>struck</del> markdown text</p>
{{set-links-target}}
This component surrounds some html markup, searches the surrounded
markup for <a>
elements (links), and then proceeds to
add a specified target
attribute to the link should it not already
have a target.
The component by default will not assign the target
attribute to
links that it finds that belong to the host that the application is
running in. That is to say, if an app is running at
http://example.com and the component find a link that starts with
http://example.com
, then that link will NOT have a target attribute
assigned. This default behaviour can be overridden by setting the
excludeSelfLinks?
argument to false
.
excludeSelfLinks?
- when true
(DEFAULT) any links that are found
in the component's yield that share the same host url as the Ember
application will NOT have the target attribute assigned. When false
all found links will have the target attribute assigned.targetValue
- one of the valid target values that can be passed to
the target
attribute of an anchor/link element. One of: _blank
,
_self
, _parent
, _top
, or the name of a frame in the page. See
W3Schools reference.Default Behaviour:
{{#set-links-target excludeSelfLinks?=true targetValue='_blank'}}
<a href='http://github.com'>GitHub</a>
{{/set-links-target}}
... will result in the following html markup:
<div class="set-links-target">
<a href="http://github.com" target="_blank">GitHub</a>
</div>
ShowdownConverter
This service sets the Showdown libraries globals from the
environment.js
settings; see the sample configuration
above.
ShowdownConverter
An initializer that makes sure the ShowdownConverter
service is
initialized for all scopes. This forces the Showdown
globals to
be set to the settings found in the environment.js
.
Inside the Ember application's config/environment.js
, set
ShowdownJS' global option preferences. Use the
following example as a template:
// config/environment.js
module.exports = function (environment) {
var ENV = {
