reflinks

Generate (relative) reference links for a glob of markdown files, allowing you to more easily create references from one file to another.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save reflinks

HEADS UP!

The API was completely changed in v0.2. The main export is now an async function that expects a callback, and instead of globbing local files, reflinks are created from npm package names.

Usage

const reflinks = require('reflinks');

// returns a promise by default
reflinks(['micromatch', 'generate'])
  .then(res => {
    console.log(res.links);
    // results in:
    //  [ '[generate]: https://github.com/generate/generate',
    //    '[micromatch]: https://github.com/micromatch/micromatch' ]
  })
  .catch(console.error);

// or takes a callback
reflinks(['base', 'verb', 'generate'], function(err, res) {
  console.log(res.links);
  // results in:
  // [ '[generate]: https://github.com/generate/generate',
  //   '[verb]: https://github.com/verbose/verb',
  //   '[base]: https://github.com/node-base/base' ]
});

By default results are cached for 7 days. See pkg-cache for more details and API documentation related to caching packages.
