A Galactic Markdown Module for Charm Framework 3.1+
===================================================

[](#a-galactic-markdown-module-for-charm-framework-31)

Welcome to the charm-markdown module, a remarkable addition to the [Charm Framework](https://github.com/neoground/charm) galaxy, designed to provide seamless integration of Markdown and YAML frontmatter functions. Whether you're a Markdown padawan or a seasoned YAML-Frontmatter Jedi, this module is the perfect companion for your Charm framework journey.

Harness the power of Charm's built-in [Symfony/Yaml](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/yaml.html)package and [Parsedown](https://github.com/erusev/parsedown) + [Parsedown-Extra](https://github.com/erusev/parsedown-extra)for HTML creation, bringing balance to the Markdown Force in your application.

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

[](#installation)

Begin your quest by adding charm-markdown to your project via Composer:

```
composer require neoground/charm-markdown
```

Next, install charm-markdown in your application:

```
bob cm:i neoground/charm-markdown
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Awaken the charm-markdown Force by initializing it with a file or a string:

```
$filepath = C::Storage()->getDataPath() . DS . 'demo.md';
$doc = C::Markdown()->fromFile($filepath);
```

or

```
$doc = C::Markdown()->fromString('# Hello World');
```

Unlock the secrets of the Markdown galaxy by accessing:

- `$doc->getMarkdownContent();` to obtain the Markdown content part of the document
- `$doc->getYaml();` to retrieve the YAML frontmatter data as an array (or an empty array if not set)
- `$doc->getHtml();` to generate the HTML content, with Markdown Extra support and "id" tags added to each heading for easy anchoring
- `$doc->getContentsList()` to get an array of all headings as an easy table of contents

Experience the power of charm-markdown with direct access:

This returns an array with keys `yaml` (array) and `markdown` (string), containing each part of the document:

```
$arr = C::Markdown()->separateMarkdownFromYaml($content);
```

Extract the YAML array directly from the content string as an array:

```
C::Markdown()->getYaml($content);
```

Obtain the Markdown part directly from the content string as a string:

```
C::Markdown()->getMarkdownContent($content);
```

Format the Markdown part of the content string as HTML:

```
C::Markdown()->toHtml($content);
```

Usage in Views
--------------

[](#usage-in-views)

In Twig views you can output a markdown string directly as HTML with:

```
{{ markdownToHtml(markdownString)|raw }}
```

Embrace the charm-markdown Force and embark on an epic adventure of Markdown and YAML mastery in your Charm Framework application. May the Markdown be with you!
