Metadata visible when we want to display markdown

[nassima2404]

I'm trying to use markdown with yaml front matter. When i display the markdown content in my website, it also displays metadata.
Is it possible to display only the content without showing metadata elements.

Hi @nassima2404,

I am not exactly sure of your precise use case but metadata is not currently supported.

Thank you for your response.

 

I am trying to alter/strip some content from my Markdown(s) (available in my asset) before rendering them with ngx-markdown. For that, I created a loader with a get(...) Method and i added it to my app.module
   MarkdownModule.forRoot({ loader: myCustomLoader})

 

unfortunately, the method is never called.

 

can we use customLoader in ngx-markdown?

@jfcere I know that this is old, but front matter is very popular with blogs. It allows people to add metadata to a markdown document. If I were to create a PR for this feature would you be okay with it?

[jfcere]

@Auha I would suggest to create a marked extension. That would make the feature usable with ngx-markdown AND marked directly.

See the documentation on how to implement a custom marked extension here: https://marked.js.org/using_pro#extensions

And the documentation on how to use a marked extension with ngx-markdown here: https://github.com/jfcere/ngx-markdown#marked-extensions

@jfcere After doing a quick look it seems there are multiple plugins for marked out there. If that's the case then I think we should close this issue. I will try it out probably in a few weeks to see if there are any issues.
