v0.8.0

Upstream pkg upgrades to fix security vulnerabilities

Fixed "headers can't be sent" errors when using preParse=true

hbs & express-handlebars view engines were throwing weird headers can't be sent errors - something to do with async processing when calling markdownFile.parseContent(). This has now been resolved by removing the res.render() call within parseContent().

Fixed issue with hbs view engine when using res.end()

Removed all res.end() calls as these were causing issues when using the hbs view engine.

Examples site updated to now work with Express 4.x with full samples using hbs

Middleware preParse and handler functions

• preParse option now accepts a function allowing customization of view model object passed to view

app.use(mds.middleware({
    rootDirectory: path.resolve(__dirname, 'content'),
    view: 'markdown',
    preParse: function(markdownFile) {
        return {
            title: markdownFile.meta.title,
            content: markdownFile.parseContent(),
            created: moment(markdownFile.created).format('L')
         };
    }
});

• handler function option for full control of middleware behaviour - do not specify view option if using this

app.use(mds.middleware({
    rootDirectory: path.resolve(__dirname, 'content'),
    handler: function(markdownFile, req, res, next) {
        if (req.method !== 'GET') next();

        // limit access 
        if (markdownFile.meta.draft && !req.user.isAdmin) {
            next();
            return;
        }

        var view = markdownFile.meta.view || 'markdown';

        var vm = {
            title: markdownFile.meta.title,
            content: markdownFile.parseContent(),
            created: moment(markdownFile.created).format('L')
         };         

         res.render(view, vm);
    }
});

• MarkdownServer.save() : files can be created / updated based on URI path.
• Website moved to http://lyphtec.github.io/markdown-serve, now with full API documentation

preParse option

Added preParse option to middleware - when enabled, module will parse the Markdown content and make it available as markdownFile.parsedContent property to view.

Example,

app.use(markdownServe.middleware({ 
    rootDirectory: path.resolve(__dirname, '../content/markdown/'),
    view: 'markdown',
    preParse: true
}));
