Postcast

A react component to create a postcast using markdown files.

Install

Postcast requires react and react-dom as peer dependencies.

npm install postcast react react-dom

Usage

With URL

You can specify a url pointing to a markdown file using the src config:

import React from 'react'

export default () => <Postcast src="/guides/getting-started.md" />

With inline markdown

Markdown can be passed using a children function:

<Postcast lang="es-AR">
    {() => `#Hola Mundo!`}
</Postcast>

Higlighting code

Postcast uses highlight.js internally to parse code fence blocks in markdown. You should load the css file of your choice for highlight themes.

import React from 'react'
// eslint-disable-next-line 
import css from 'highlight.js/styles/atom-one-light.css'

export default () => <Postcast src="/guides/getting-started.md" />

Documentation

• src {String}: url pointing to a markdown file.
• file {File}: a File object that points to a markdown file. If this is present src is ignored
• lang {String}: The language in the format IETF. Example: en-US (English as used in the United States)
• phonemes {Object}: A map of {word: phoneme} to be used for all occurrencies. The phoneme is a String but it must be defined in between /. Example: { yaml: '/yæməl/' }

YAML configuration

Markdown files can contain YAML configuration blocks (frontmatter). These are the configs that are read by Postcast:

• title: If present, it will generate an h1 tag with the title value.
• lang: If present, it will override the lang configuration.
• phonemes: if present, it will override the phonemes configuration.
