Is there a way to parse Markdown in React using Typescript?
I am trying to do things like:
import * as ReactMarkdown from 'react-markdown'
// OR
import ReactMarkdown = require('react-markdown')
But Typescript can't fint module 'react-markdown' as it's not defined:
Error: TS2307: Cannot find module 'react-markdown'.
How can I define the module and use it as a React component?
I solved my problem by using commonmark
package instead. They have typings and everything needed for my environment. Here is my implementation:
import { HtmlRenderer, Parser } from 'commonmark'
export class MyComponent extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
private post: string
constructor () {
super()
let parser = new Parser()
let renderer = new HtmlRenderer()
this.post = renderer.render(parser.parse("**works** like a charm!"))
}
render () {
return (
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={ {__html: this.post} } />
)
}
}
Also, do not forget to add the typings for commonmark
:
$ typings install --global --save dt~commonmark
Thanks to the people who tried to help!
