#discord-markdown

A markdown parser for Discord messages.

#Using

npm i @cloudrac3r/discord-markdown

const { parser, htmlOutput, toHTML } = require('@cloudrac3r/discord-markdown');

console.log(toHTML('This **is** a __test__'));
// => This <strong>is</strong> a <u>test</u>

Fenced codeblocks will include highlight.js tags and classes.

#Options

const { toHTML } = require('@cloudrac3r/discord-markdown');
toHTML('This **is** a __test__', options);

options is an object with the following properties (all are optional):

• embed: Boolean (default: false), if it should parse embed contents (rules are slightly different)
• escapeHTML: Boolean (default: true), if it should escape HTML
• discordOnly: Boolean (default: false), if it should only parse the discord-specific stuff
• discordCallback: Object, callbacks used for discord parsing. Each receive an object with different properties, and are expected to return an HTML escaped string
  • user: (id: Number) User mentions "@someperson"
  • channel: (id: Number) Channel mentions "#somechannel"
  • role: (id: Number) Role mentions "@somerole"
  • everyone: () Everyone mention "@everyone"
  • here: () Here mention "@here"

#Mention and Emoji Handling

Using the discordCallback option you can define custom functions to handle parsing mention and emoji content. You can use these to turn IDs into names.

Example:

const { toHTML } = require('@cloudrac3r/discord-markdown');
toHTML('This is a mention for <@95286900801146880>', {
	discordCallback: {
		user: node => '@' + users[node.id];
	}
}); // -> This is a mention for @Brussell

#Customizing

It is possible to change the rules used by discord-markdown. Take a look at the code to see how to create your own modified rule set.
