"Smartypants, double quotes" and 'single quotes'

iOS	Android

Plugins for extra syntax support can be added using any markdown-it compatible plugins - see plugins for documentation from markdown-it. An example for integration follows:

Step 1

Identify the new components and integrate the plugin with a rendered component. We can use the debugPrintTree property to see what rules we are rendering:

import React from 'react';
import { SafeAreaView, ScrollView, StatusBar } from 'react-native';

import Markdown, { MarkdownIt } from 'react-native-markdown-display';
import blockEmbedPlugin from 'markdown-it-block-embed';

const markdownItInstance =
    MarkdownIt({typographer: true})
      .use(blockEmbedPlugin, {
        containerClassName: "video-embed"
      });

const copy = `
# Some header

@[youtube](lJIrF4YjHfQ)
`;

const App: () => React$Node = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <StatusBar barStyle="dark-content" />
      <SafeAreaView>
        <ScrollView
          contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="automatic"
          style={{height: '100%'}}
        >
            <Markdown
              debugPrintTree
              markdownit={markdownItInstance}
            >
              {copy}
            </Markdown>
        </ScrollView>
      </SafeAreaView>
    </>
  );
};

export default App;

In the console, we will see the following rendered tree:

body
-heading1
--textgroup
---text
-video

With the following error message:

Warning, unknown render rule encountered: video. 'unknown' render rule used (by default, returns null - nothing rendered)

Step 2

We need to create the render rules and styles to handle this new 'video' component

import React from 'react';
import {SafeAreaView, ScrollView, StatusBar} from 'react-native';

import Markdown, {MarkdownIt} from 'react-native-markdown-display';
import blockEmbedPlugin from 'markdown-it-block-embed';

const markdownItInstance = MarkdownIt({typographer: true}).use(
  blockEmbedPlugin,
  {
    containerClassName: 'video-embed',
  },
);

const copy = `
# Some header

@[youtube](lJIrF4YjHfQ)
`;

const App: () => React$Node = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <StatusBar barStyle="dark-content" />
      <SafeAreaView>
        <ScrollView
          contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="automatic"
          style={{height: '100%'}}>
          <Markdown
            debugPrintTree
            markdownit={markdownItInstance}
            style={{
              video: {
                color: 'red',
              },
            }}
            rules={{
              video: (node, children, parent, styles) => {
                // examine the node properties to see what video we need to render
                console.log(node); // expected output of this is in readme.md below this code snip

                return (
                  <Text key={node.key} style={styles.video}>
                    Return a video component instead of this text component!
                  </Text>
                );
              },
            }}>
            {copy}
          </Markdown>
        </ScrollView>
      </SafeAreaView>
    </>
  );
};

export default App;

And all of the video properties needed to render something meaningful are on the node, like this:

{type: "video", sourceType: "video", sourceInfo: {…}, sourceMeta: null, block: true, …}
  attributes: {}
  block: true
  children: []
  content: ""
  index: 1
  key: "rnmr_1720a98f540_video"
  markup: "@[youtube](lJIrF4YjHfQ)"
  sourceInfo:
    service: YouTubeService
      env: PluginEnvironment {md: MarkdownIt, options: {…}, services: {…}}
      name: "youtube"
      options:
        height: 390
        width: 640
      serviceName: "youtube"
      videoID: "lJIrF4YjHfQ"
      videoReference: "lJIrF4YjHfQ"
  sourceMeta: null
  sourceType: "video"
  tokenIndex: 5
  type: "video"

Other Debugging

You can do some additional debugging of what the markdown instance is spitting out like this:

import Markdown, {MarkdownIt} from 'react-native-markdown-display';
import blockEmbedPlugin from 'markdown-it-block-embed';

const markdownItInstance = MarkdownIt({typographer: true}).use(
  blockEmbedPlugin,
  {
    containerClassName: 'video-embed',
  },
);

const copy = `
# Some header

@[youtube](lJIrF4YjHfQ)
`;

// this shows you the tree that is used by the react-native-markdown-display
const astTree = markdownItInstance.parse(copy, {});
console.log(astTree);

//this contains the html that would be generated - not used by react-native-markdown-display but useful for reference
const html = markdownItInstance.render(copy);
console.log(html);

The above code will output something like this:

astTree:

(4) [Token, Token, Token, Token]

0: Token {type: "heading_open", tag: "h1", attrs: null, map: Array(2), nesting: 1, …}
1: Token {type: "inline", tag: "", attrs: null, map: Array(2), nesting: 0, …}
2: Token {type: "heading_close", tag: "h1", attrs: null, map: null, nesting: -1, …}
3: Token {type: "video", tag: "div", attrs: null, map: Array(2), nesting: 0, …}

length: 4

html:


<h1>Some header</h1>
<div class="video-embed block-embed-service-youtube"><iframe type="text/html" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/lJIrF4YjHfQ" frameborder="0" width="640" height="390" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

This is all of the markdown in one place for testing that your applied styles work in all cases
