## 📝 Description

Your one stop for parsing Markdown content. Give your markdown superpower by adding metadata.

## 🔧 Features

- Parse markdown content. We use [marked](https://github.com/markedjs/marked)
- Extract YAML metadata information about your markdown content. We use [js-yaml](https://github.com/nodeca/js-yaml)
- Convert markdown to HTML and easily extract data from DOM nodes by passing selectors. We use [cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio)
- Support for both NodeJS and Browser
- Browser standalone package also available at `dist/bundle.min.js`

## 💡 How does it work?

For example,

```md
---
title: Awesome Markdown Extractor
id: 101
---

# Abstract

Lorem ipsum dolor...
```

would be parsed as

```js
{
  metadata: {
    title: "Awesome Markdown Extractor",
    id: 101
  },
  content: {
    abstract: 'Abstract'
  },
  html: "<h1>Abstract</h1>...."
}
```

## 📝 Prerequisites

NodeJs v12 or above. May work on lower version but not tested.

## 💻 Installation

```bash
$ npm install @sohailalam2/markdown-extractor
```

## ✅ Usage

Check [`example`](./example) for more information.

Given the sample markdown content, lets see how we can parse it and extract the metadata information
