Silex-Markdown
==============

[](#silex-markdown)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/50af0a2337ec93fb2823e8c0c6db932bf7389e3facbae5981f3f0a8e69969eef/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6d686561702f53696c65782d4d61726b646f776e2e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](http://travis-ci.org/mheap/Silex-Markdown)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

This extension only works with *PHP 7.1+* and *Silex 2*. [Version 1.0.0](https://github.com/mheap/Silex-Markdown/releases/tag/1.0.0) is compatible with Silex 1.

### Installation

[](#installation)

Install with composer:

```
composer require mheap/silex-markdown
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

First, you need to register the Markdown extension. This will use the default settings for the extension.

```
$app->register(new \SilexMarkdown\MarkdownExtension());
```

If you'd like to disable certain transformations, you can provide them when registering the extension. This will not convert headers from markdown to HTML.

```
$app->register(new MarkdownExtension(), array(
    'markdown.features'   => array(
        'header' => false,
    )
));
```

To render markdown, use `$app['markdown']`:

```
$app->get('/', function() use($app) {
    $html = $app['markdown']->transform('# Hello World'); // Hello World
});
```

If you're using Twig via `Silex\Provider\TwigServiceProvider()`, a `markdown` filter will be automatically registered for you. This allows you do do the following:

```
// In your route
$app->get('/', function() use($app) {
    $text = '# Hello World';
    $html = $app['twig']->render('example.twig', array(
        'input' => $text
    ));
});
```

```
// In your twig file
{{ input | markdown }}
```
