Using YML files as Markdown

[exrishu]

Hi , I am new to Gatsby trying to port my website from hugo to gatsby, But am stuck in , that how to change the YML files into markdown, In hugo there is an awesome property

|markdownify

which easily convert yml into markdown and we can also use some HTML tags inside it.
Is there is any way I can convert ?

Gatsby can take in YAML input if you want. Take a look at: https://gatsbyjs.github.io/gatsby-starter-kitchen-sink/yaml/ https://www.gatsbyjs.org/blog/2017-11-06-migrate-hugo-gatsby/

For converting markdown fields in frontmatter, this would be a useful pattern to support. We'd be open to a PR adding this to gatsby-transformer-remark.

@calcsam Thanks for your help, but I think think is not the answer of my question, I am able to pull data from YML files successfully, I want data to be in YML file and convert it to markdown

[exrishu]

@KyleAMathews I guess gatsby-transformer-remark will not recognize the file having YML extension.

[KyleAMathews]

Oh sorry, you want gatsby-transformer-yaml.

If you haven't yet, try going through the official tutorial.

@KyleAMathews CheckOut this link issue-2817 . I am also facing exactly the same problem. Is there is any another way to solve this issue?

[KyleAMathews]

This isn't supported right now — so either you can write custom code as described in that issue for handling the markdown or you can put together a PR to add support.

Thanks, Gonna try the custom code ...I

Closing this issue as it's contained in the linked issue.

I am getting the same kind of problem, I am able to pull the contents of yaml using gatsby-transformer-yaml but all pulled data is rendered as plain text ,If i enter any html tag or any url it is rendered as plain text only.Is there any way that I can markdownify this yaml while using it in gatsby so that I dont get all as plain text only?

@avinashs735 in that case you may want to use a third-party component like https://github.com/rexxars/react-markdown
