A webpack loader for Markdown files with optional front matter - that returns the markdown's AST.

Installation

npm install markdown-ast-loader

Usage

{
  module: {
    loaders: {
      {test: /\.md$/, loader: 'markdown-ast-loader'},
    ]
  }
}

The result of importing a markdown file will be a JavaScript object with properties from the front matter (as parsed by [js-yaml-front-matter]) and a ast property containing the markdown AST.

For example

---
name: Mongo the Monkey
contact:
email: [email protected]
---

I LIKE TO EAT BANANAS
=====================

* Fat bananas
* Skinny bananas
* Whatever
