Laravel-MDPARSER
================

[](#laravel-mdparser)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/cc4eae0d5d4bc90c350ff34769277643ad8d818a43e1cb6cd0d674d37c91867f/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6d7072696e63652f6c61726176656c2d6d647061727365722e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/mprince/laravel-mdparser)

A small, lightweight and easy-to-use Laravel package for handling markdown. It comes with a facade, a helper function and a Blade directive to make life easier for you.

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

[](#installation)

To install it, simply pull it down with Composer. Run the `php artisan vendor:publish` command to publish the configuration file.

```
composer require mprince/laravel-mdparser

```

Laravel 9 and above use Package Auto-Discovery, so you do not have to manually add the MarkdownServiceProvider.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Blade-directive

[](#blade-directive)

The markdown parser may be used in your Blade templates by using the `@markdown` directive.

```

    {{ $post->title }}

        @markdown($post->body)

```

You can also use a block-style syntax:

```
@markdown
# Hello world

This *text* will be **parsed** to [HTML](http://laravel.com).
@endmarkdown
```

### Facade

[](#facade)

If you registered the Markdown facade as shown above, you can easily parse markdown using it.

```
$markdown = "# Hello";

$html = Markdown::parse($markdown) // Hello
```

### Helper-functions

[](#helper-functions)

```
$html = markdown('# Hello'); // Hello
```

```
$html = markdown_capture(function () {
    echo "# Hello";
    echo "\n\n";
    echo "So **cool**!"
});

// Hello
// So cool!
```

---

Of course, you could also resolve the parser from the service container and use it yourself.

```
$parser = app('Mprince\Markdown\Parser');
$html = $parser->parse('# Hello'); // Hello
```

### Drivers (NEW!)

[](#drivers-new)

Laravel-Markdown allows you to add custom markdown drivers. In order to use a custom markdown driver, you need to create a class that implements the `Mprince\Markdown\Drivers\MarkdownDriver` interface. The interface contains two methods: `text` and `line`. `text` is used to convert a block of markdown to HTML, while `line` is used to convert a single line.

Laravel-Markdown ships with a `ParsedownDriver` using the [Parsedown-package](http://parsedown.org/) by @erusev.
