Wiki.ly

Wiki.ly is a fork of Mediawiki's Parsoid project. It's a PEG-based parser that converts wikitext to a Javascript object.

This particular version of Wiki.ly is a fork of the original by @dan1wang to change the interface for package consumers, and to enable pre-compiling the tokenizer.

Usage

To add this package to your project:

npm i --save "@msikma/wiki-ly"

Example

A minimal example of running the parser with the default options:

const { createParser } = require('@msikma/wiki-ly')

const input = `Hello [[world]]!`
const parser = createParser()
const output = parser.parse(input)

console.log(output)

This results in the following output:

[
  'Hello ',
  SelfclosingTagTk {
    type: 'SelfclosingTagTk',
    name: 'wikilink',
    attribs: [ KV { k: 'href', v: [ 'world' ], vsrc: 'world' } ],
    dataAttribs: { tsr: [ 6, 15 ], src: '[[world]]' }
  },
  '!',
  EOFTk { type: 'EOFTk' }
]

It's possible to pass an object of environment options to the parser, but this is not documented right now. See lib/env.js for more information.
