Installation

Simply install it with Composer, an auto-generated recipe will enable the bundle for you:

composer require aymdev/commonmark-bundle

Configuration

No converter is created by default. Create a YAML configuration file at path config/packages/aymdev_commonmark.yaml. Here is an example configuration declaring 2 converters:

aymdev_commonmark:
    converters:
        # add any converter here
        my_converter:
            type: 'github'
            options:
                enable_strong: true
                use_underscore: false
        
        blog_post_converter:
            type: 'commonmark'
            extensions:
                - League\CommonMark\Extension\HeadingPermalink\HeadingPermalinkExtension

Note that all keys inside a converter are optional.

Converter type

The type key can be used to choose between a CommonMark or a GitHub converter:

• commonmark (default): MarkdownConverter with CommonMarkCoreExtension
• github: MarkdownConverter with GithubFlavoredMarkdownExtension
• empty: an empty MarkdownConverter (e.g. to use InlinesOnlyExtension)

Converter options

The options key holds the configuration passed to the converter, as an array.

For more information, see the CommonMark documentation about Configuration.

Converter extensions

The extensions key allows to add any extension class to a converter.

Check the complete list of extensions on the CommonMark documentation.

Using the converters

As services

The bundle registers your converters as services with the converter name as the service ID.

It also creates an alias, so you can get them by autowiring using the converter name as the argument name, type with the League\CommonMark\MarkdownConverter class.

Example YAML configuration:

aymdev_commonmark:
    converters:
        # You can add an argument for this converter as:
        #   MarkdownConverter $myConverter
        my_converter:

In your templates

You can use the commonmark Twig filter. You only need to pass it a converter name:

{{ markdown_content|commonmark('my_converter') }}

If you have only 1 converter you can ommit the converter name.
