Laravel Commonmark
==================

[](#laravel-commonmark)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/e0dac2a86d789cdf786ab99235d496714ddb17d8d8aa5d085aab1296e74eeb60/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f486172726b2f6c61726176656c2d636f6d6d6f6e6d61726b2e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/Harrk/laravel-commonmark)

Laravel Commonmark is a wrapper for [league/commonmark](https://github.com/thephpleague/commonmark)which allows for the parsing of regular Markdown as well as CommonMark. The CommonMark spec can be found at .

This package can parse Markdown inline or within blade templates using the .md.blade.php file extension.

Why?
----

[](#why)

I was looking for a Markdown compiler for Laravel and with being unable to find a package compatible with Laravel 5.6 (at the time). I figured I could take a crack at it. This also seemed like a good opportunity to gain some experience with open-source projects.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This package has been updated to work with Laravel 6.0, just install via composer:

```
$ composer require "harrk/laravel-commonmark=~v2.0"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Blade

[](#blade)

Simply name a blade view with the .md.blade.php extension and it'll automatically parse Markdown within the view into HTML when rendered.

Any .md.blade.php files can be included into other blade files using `@import` as you would a regular view.

### Dependency Injection

[](#dependency-injection)

```
use \League\CommonMark\CommonMarkConverter;

class MyClass {

    public function myFunction(CommonMarkConverter $converter) {
        return $converter->convertToHtml('# H1 Header');
    }

}
```

Or if you prefer using helper functions instead:

```
class MyClass {

    public function myFunction() {
        return markdown_to_html('# H1 Header');
    }

}
```

Unit Testing
------------

[](#unit-testing)

To run unit tests:

```
$ vendor/bin/phpunit
```

Alternatives
------------

[](#alternatives)

Check out [graham-campbell/markdown](https://github.com/GrahamCampbell/Laravel-Markdown) for a package that offers far greater customisation through the use of CommonMark extensions.
