[Question] Showdown in Typescript

[penfold]

Have you considered moving to use Typescript for v2.0?

Kind Regards, Paul

Typescript would be great- its quite a large change, so help will be needed.

That would be a really HUGE undertaking, since showdown uses some prototyping and weak typing that would be hard to replicate in pure typescript.

Here's how I'm using Showdown in my TypeScript Svelte app...

shell

npm install --save showdown @types/showdown

Component.svelte

<script lang="ts">
import showdown from 'showdown';

const converter = new showdown.Converter();
const html = converter.makeHtml(someMarkdownContent);
</script>

My variant in Vue app npm install --save showdown @types/showdown

<script lang="ts">
import { Converter } from 'showdown';

const converter = new Converter();
const html = converter.makeHtml(someMarkdownContent);
</script>
