contentful api markdown conversion to HTML

Question

Is there any simple way to convert markdown text from contentful api to render into html code to be display on html page. I have tried using pagedown and some similar techniques

Answer 1

I know I'm late but here's the solution using handlebars:

var marked = require('marked');
marked.setOptions({
  renderer: new marked.Renderer(),
  sanitize: true,
  smartLists: true,
  smartypants: true
});

//Home
router.get('/', (req, res) => {
  client.getEntry('')
  .then( (entry)=> {
    entry.fields.body = marked(entry.fields.body);
    res.render('static/index',
     {
       entry: entry,
       user: req.user
     });
  }).catch( (err) => {
    console.log(err);
  })
});

Then in our index.hbs template we can call the markdown variable in this case (entry.fields.body) by using {{{}}} to prevent escaping.

{{{entry.fields.body}}}
