@blockquote/to-markdown
Custom-elements.json is a file format that describes custom elements. This format will allow tooling and IDEs to give rich information about the custom elements in a given project. It is, however, very experimental and things are subject to change. Follow the discussion here.
This library takes a Custom Elements Manifest and renders it to markdown.
Usage
Install:
npm i -S @blockquote/to-markdown
Import and use in your code:
import fs from 'fs';
import { customElementsManifestToMarkdown } from '@blockquote/to-markdown';
const manifest = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('./custom-elements.json', 'utf-8'));
const markdown = customElementsManifestToMarkdown(manifest);
fs.writeFileSync('./custom-elements.md', markdown);
Options
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
| ------------- | ---------------------------- | ------- | ----------- |
| headingOffset | Integer | 0 | Offset the heading level by this number |
| mainDescription | Boolean | true | Show description field for Class and Mixins |
| private | 'all'\|'details'\|'hidden'
| 'all'
| See Private Members |
| omitDeclarations | OptionalDeclarations[]
| [] | See Omit Declarations |
| omitSections | OptionalSections[]
| [] | See Omit Sections |
| classNameFilter | string \| (() => string)
| '.*'
| See Class Name Filter |
Private Members
The private
option controls how private members appear in the markdown.
'all'
: private members appear alongside public members according to source order'hidden'
: private members do not appear at all in markdown, but protected members do'details'
: private and protected members appear in a details disclosure widget below the table
Omit Declarations
The omitDeclarations
option is a string[]
that controls which kinds of entities are rendered in the final markdown output. The four declaration types are:
- mixins
- variables
- functions
- exports
The following is an example config that would filter out all four declaration types:
customElementsManifestToMarkdown(manifest, {
omitDeclarations: ['mixins', 'variables', 'functions', 'exports' ]
})
**Note: ** Mixins can be rendered both as declarations AND as sections inside a declaration. The omitDeclarations
option for mixins
will only filter out top level mixin declarations. To filter out mixin sections from a class
declaration, use the mixin
filter from omitSections
.
Omit Sections
The omitSections
option is a string[]
that controls which sections of a declaration's full entry in the manifest.json should be rendered in the final markdown output. The section names are:
- mainHeading : "main-heading"
- mainDescription : "main-description"
- superClass : "super-class"
- fields : "fields"
- methods : "methods"
- staticFields : "static-fields"
- staticMethods : "static-methods"
- slots : "slots"
- events : "events"
- attributes : "attributes"
- cssProperties : "css-properties"
- cssParts : "css-parts"
- mixins : "main-heading"
The following is an example config showing how to filter out a few sections:
customElementsManifestToMarkdown(manifest, {
// static fields and static methods tables will not be present
// in the markdown result
omitSections: [ 'super-class', 'static-methods', 'fields' ]
})
Class Name Filter
Depending on the source files you pass to the analyzer, your custom-elements-manifest.json
may contain more class file declarations than you need for the final markdown output. The classNameFilter
option accepts a regex as a string (or a function that returns one) that will be used to filter out class declarations before rendering.
customElementsManifestToMarkdown(manifest, {
classNameFilter: () => {
// some logic
return `(${prefix}-*|SuperClassExact)`; // filters out every class name that doesnt match the regex provided
}
})
Demo
customElementsManifestToMarkdown(manifest, {
headingOffset: 1,
private: 'details',
})
