Installation

Open your composer.json file and add the package in the require object:

"alfredo-ramos/parsedown-extra-laravel": "^5.0.0"

Then run composer update on your terminal.

Laravel

Service providers and aliases will be registered automatically since Laravel 5.5.x, thanks to the new package auto-discovery.

Lumen

In your bootstrap\app.php file and register the service provider:

$app->register(AlfredoRamos\ParsedownExtra\ParsedownExtraServiceProvider::class);

Then register the facade alias:

$app->withFacades(true, [
	AlfredoRamos\ParsedownExtra\Facades\ParsedownExtra::class => 'Markdown'
]);

Usage

The Markdown::parse() method is responsible to transform the Markdown syntax into HTML, its signature is the following:

Markdown::parse(string $text = '', array $config = [])

Parameter	Data type	Default value	Required	Description
$text	string	''	Yes	Markdown text
$config	array, string	[]	No	Extra configuration for HTML Purifier

Notes:

• If $config is a string, it will be trated as an array key in the [purifier][settings] array.
• If $config is an array it will extend default configuration for HTML Purifier.
• An empty value for $config means that it will use default values for HTML Purifier, see \AlfredoRamos\ParsedownExtra\HTMLPurifierLaravel::getConfig() for more information.

Using $config as a string

Markdown::parse('Hello world', ['config' => 'comments'])

Where comments is the key of the array settings.

return [
	'purifier'	=> [
		'enabled'	=> true,
		'settings'	=> [
			'default' => [...],
			'comments' => [...]
		]
	]
];

Using $config as an array

Markdown::parse('[DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/)', ['config' => [
	'URI.Host' => 'localhost',
	'URI.DisableExternal' => true
]])

For all configuration options see the official HTML Purifier config docs.

Using default settings

Markdown::parse('Hello world!')
// Is the same as
Markdown::parse('Hello world!', ['config' => 'default'])

Blade

It can be used in Blade through the Markdown facade:

{!! Markdown::parse("Hello world") !!}
{!! Markdown::parse("[XSS link](javascript:alert('xss'))") !!}

The code above will print:

<p>Hello world</p>

<!-- HTML Purifier enabled -->
<p><a>XSS link</a></p>

<!-- HTML Purifier disabled -->
<p><a href="javascript:alert('xss')">XSS link</a></p>

Helper

For your convenience, the markdown() helper function is also available. It accepts the same parameters as the facade.

markdown('Hello world', ['purifier' => false])

Configuration

To add new or edit the default options, run the following command to make a copy of the default configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish \
	--provider='AlfredoRamos\ParsedownExtra\ParsedownExtraServiceProvider' \
	--tag=config --force
