> markdown-it plugin to add toc and anchor links in headings
## Installation
```console
$ yarn add markdown-it-toc-and-anchor
```
## Usage
### ES6
```js
import markdownIt from "markdown-it"
import markdownItTocAndAnchor from "markdown-it-toc-and-anchor"
markdownIt({
html: true,
linkify: true,
typographer: true,
})
.use(markdownItTocAndAnchor, {
// ...options
})
.render(md)
```
### ES5 / CommonJS
```js
var markdownIt = require('markdown-it'),
markdownItTocAndAnchor = require('markdown-it-toc-and-anchor').default;
markdownIt({
html: true,
linkify: true,
typographer: true,
})
.use(markdownItTocAndAnchor, {
// ...options
})
.render(md)
```
:information_source: Note that the 'default' property has to be used when requiring this plugin, this is due to the use of Babel 6 now making ES6 compliant exports ([Misunderstanding ES6 Modules, Upgrading Babel, Tears, and a Solution
](https://medium.com/@kentcdodds/misunderstanding-es6-modules-upgrading-babel-tears-and-a-solution-ad2d5ab93ce0#.enq6dfcnn))
### Options
#### `toc`
(default: `true`)
Allows you to enable/disable the toc transformation of `@[toc]`
#### `tocClassName`
(default: `"markdownIt-TOC"`)
Option to customize html class of the `
` wrapping the toc. If no class is wanted set to `null`.
#### `tocFirstLevel`
(default: `1`)
Allows you to skip some heading level. Example: use 2 if you want to skip ``
from the TOC.
#### `tocLastLevel`
(default: `6`)
Allows you to skip some heading level. Example: use 5 if you want to skip ``
from the TOC.
#### `tocCallback`
(default: `null`)
Allows you to get toc contents externally by executing a callback function returning toc elements, in addition / instead of using @[toc] tag in content.
Example :
```
markdownIt({
html: true,
linkify: true,
typographer: true,
})
.use(markdownItTocAndAnchor, {
tocCallback: function(tocMarkdown, tocArray, tocHtml) {
console.log(tocHtml)
}
})
.render(md)
```
To allow callback to be more flexible, this option is also available in global markdown-it options, and in render environment.
Example :
##### Callback in global markdown-it options
```
var mdIt = markdownIt({
html: true,
linkify: true,
typographer: true,
})
.use(markdownItTocAndAnchor)
....
mdIt.set({
tocCallback: function(tocMarkdown, tocArray, tocHtml) {
console.log(tocHtml)
}
})
.render(md)
```
##### Callback in render environment
```
var mdIt = markdownIt({
html: true,
linkify: true,
typographer: true,
})
.use(markdownItTocAndAnchor)
....
mdIt
.render(md, {
tocCallback: function(tocMarkdown, tocArray, tocHtml) {
console.log(tocHtml)
}
})
```

#### `wrapHeadingTextInAnchor`
(default: `false`)

#### `resetIds`
(default: `true`)
