rollup-plugin-markdown-svimg

rollup-plugin-markdown-svimg is a rollup plugin for preprocessing images in Markdown files for use with the svimg image component. It is intended to accompany the rehype-svimg processing plugin which handles generating the svimg component when transforming Markdown to HTML.

Getting Started

Installation

npm install -D rollup-plugin-markdown-svimg

In rollup.config.js, add markdownSvimg as a plugin. Make sure you use the same rehypeOptions as you do when rendering the markdown to html with rehype-svimg to ensure everything works together.

import markdownSvimg from 'rollup-plugin-markdown-svimg';

export default {
    plugins: [
        markdownSvimg({
            files: 'data/content/**/*.md',
            rehypeOptions: {
                inputDir: 'static',
                outputDir: 'static/g',
                webp: true,
                avif: true
            }
        })
    ]
};

If you're using Sapper, you should only add to one of the plugin lists, for example server, to prevent double-processing the images.

import markdownSvimg from 'rollup-plugin-markdown-svimg';

export default {
    client: {
        plugins: [],
    },
    server: {
        plugins: [
            markdownSvimg({
                files: 'data/content/**/*.md',
                rehypeOptions: {
                    inputDir: 'static',
                    outputDir: 'static/g',
                    webp: true,
                    avif: true
                }
            })
        ]
    }
};

Dynamic Options

rehypeOptions can also be a function, if you want to dynamically change the rehype-svimg options for each file. It receives an object with the markdown file name as a key. For example, if you wanted to simplify your markdown to only specify an image filename and have the build process automatically determine the correct folder for that image based on the markdown file's path:

data/content/posts/2020-01-01/first-post.md:

![Splash](splash.jpg)

![Avatar](avatar.jpg)

import markdownSvimg from 'rollup-plugin-markdown-svimg';
import { dirname, join } from 'path';

export default {
    plugins: [
        markdownSvimg({
            files: 'posts/**/*.md',
            rehypeOptions: ({ file }) => ({
                inputDir: 'static',
                outputDir: 'static/g',
                webp: true,
                avif: true,
                srcPrefix: join('images', dirname(file)),
            })
        })
    ]
};

This example would process the image files in static/images/posts/2020-01-01/{splash,avatar}.jpg and output them to static/g/images/posts/2020-01-01/{splash,avatar}.jpg without needing to repeatedly define the images/posts/2020-01-01/ part of the url for each image in the Markdown file.

Front Matter

Image urls in front matter can also be processed with the frontMatterKeys option. Front matter image urls will also respect the srcPrefix option if specified.

---
title: Hello
image: images/20200101/hello.jpg
---

![Splash](images/20200101/splash.jpg)

import markdownSvimg from 'rollup-plugin-markdown-svimg';

export default {
    plugins: [
        markdownSvimg({
            files: 'data/content/**/*.md',
            rehypeOptions: {
                inputDir: 'static',
                outputDir: 'static/g',
                webp: true,
                avif: true,
                frontMatterKeys: ['image'],
            }
        })
    ]
};

Configuration

Plugin options

| Option | Default | | | -------------- | ------------- | --------- | | files | required | A minimatch glob pattern or array of glob patterns for markdown files to process | rehypeOptions | required | An object or function that returns an object of rehype-svimg options. The function receives one parameter, an object with a file property with the current markdown file path being processed. | includeImg | false | Set to true to also process inline <img> tags in the markdown | frontMatterKeys | | An array of front matter keys with image urls to process
