Markdown Pages for CodeIgniter 4

This library allows you to use Markdown files as pages in your CodeIgniter 4 application. It dynamically converts Markdown content to HTML and serves it as web pages, making it ideal for static content like documentation or simple sites.

GitHub Repository: codeigniter-markdown-pages

Installation:

Code:

composer require michalsn/codeigniter-markdown-pages

Example Usage:

PHP Code:

$markdownPages  = service('markdownpages', APPPATH . 'Views/markdown');
$file = $markdownPages->file('first-steps/second-file');
// returns "Second File"
$file->getName();
// returns parsed markdown
$file->parse()->getContent();
// returns parsed meta from YAML part of the file

$file->parse()->getMeta();

I ran into this post at a time I was looking for a CI4 alternative to laravel-markdown. Awesome news.

Does it also feature a solution for code syntax highlighting?

By default, it uses the League CommonMark parser. But you can use a different parser or extension for CommonMark, like Github-Flavored Markdown.

I will try to add an example to the docs tomorrow.

Oh... it's not really an alternative. This package only works with static files.

If you want to parse markdown you can just use CommonMark parser alone. Create a service and use it - simple as that.

In case anyone needs to use a different parser, here is an example of how to set it up: https://michalsn.github.io/codeigniter-m...extending/
