Turns Noddity post objects into basic abstract syntax trees.

Example

var parser = require('noddity-template-parser')
var Linkify = require('linkify')

var linkify = Linkify('#/prefix')

var ast = parser(post, linkify)

var full = ast.reduce(function (full, piece) {
	if (piece.type === 'string') full += piece.value
	if (piece.type === 'template') full += 'TEMPLATE GOES HERE'
	return full
}, '')

API

var parser = require('noddity-template-parser')

var ast = parser(post, linkify, [options])

• post: a Noddity post object (from a Noddity Butler)
• linkify: a Noddity Linkifier
• options: an optional object of options
  • convertToHtml: convert posts from markdown to HTML. Defaults to true. (If markdown: false is on the post's metadata, it will not be converted, even when this is set to true.)

var ast = parser(post, linkify, { convertToHtml: false })

ast

An array of objects returned from parser(). Each object has a type property which can be string, or template.

• string type properties:
  • value string with html or markdown
• template type properties:
  • filename string, e.g. 'my-post.md'
  • arguments object, e.g. { 1: 'hello', key: 'value' }

The AST for this post...

::child|arg|key=value::

I see you like {{prop}} templates

...would look like:

[{
	type: 'string',
	value: '<p>'
}, {
	type: 'template',
	filename: 'child',
	arguments: {
		1: 'arg',
		key: 'value'
	}
}, {
	type: 'string',
	value: '</p>\n<p>I see you like {{prop}} templates</p>\n'
}]
