markdown function

AngelConfigurer markdown(Directory viewsDirectory, { String? extension, ExtensionSet? extensionSet, FutureOr<String> template(String content, Map<String, dynamic> locals)?, })

Configures an Angel instance to render Markdown templates from the specified viewsDirectory.

The default extension is .md. To search for a different file extension, provide a new one. By default, an extensionSet is provided that renders Github-flavored Markdown. This can also be overridden.

In many cases, Markdown content will be rendered within a larger template that styles the entire website. To wrap generated Markdown content in a template, provide a function that accepts a generated HTML String, and returns a String, or a Future<String>.

Implementation

AngelConfigurer markdown(
  Directory viewsDirectory, {
  String? extension,
  ExtensionSet? extensionSet,
  FutureOr<String> Function(String content, Map<String, dynamic> locals)?
      template,
}) {
  extension ??= '.md';
  extensionSet ??= ExtensionSet.gitHubWeb;

  return (Angel app) async {
    app.viewGenerator = (String name, [Map<String, dynamic>? locals]) async {
      var file = viewsDirectory.childFile(
          viewsDirectory.fileSystem.path.setExtension(name, extension!));
      var contents = await file.readAsString();

      contents = contents.replaceAllMapped(_braces, (m) {
        var text = m[0]!;

        if (text.startsWith('@')) {
          // Raw braces
          return text.substring(1);
        } else {
          var expr = m[1]!;
          var split = expr.split('.');
          var root = split[0];

          if (locals?.containsKey(root) != true) {
            throw UnimplementedError(
                'Expected a local named "$root", but none was provided. Expression text: "$text"');
          }

          return _resolveDotNotation(split, locals![root]).toString();
        }
      });

      var html = markdownToHtml(contents, extensionSet: extensionSet);
      if (template != null) html = await template(html, locals ?? {});
      return html;
    };
  };
