title: Making your own plugins
|

> This part of the documentation will assume you have working knowledge in TypeScript and will include code snippets that describe the interface of what Quartz plugins should look like.
|
|
|
|
Quartz's plugins are a series of transformations over content. This is illustrated in the diagram of the processing pipeline below:
|
|
|
|
![[quartz-transform-pipeline.png]]
|
|
|
|
All plugins are defined as a function that takes in a single parameter for options `type OptionType = object | undefined` and return an object that corresponds to the type of plugin it is.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
type OptionType = object | undefined
|
|
type QuartzPlugin<Options extends OptionType = undefined> = (opts?: Options) => QuartzPluginInstance
|
|
type QuartzPluginInstance =
|
|
| QuartzTransformerPluginInstance
|
|
| QuartzFilterPluginInstance
|
|
| QuartzEmitterPluginInstance
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following sections will go into detail for what methods can be implemented for each plugin type. Before we do that, let's clarify a few more ambiguous types:
|
|
|
|
- `BuildCtx` is defined in `quartz/ctx.ts`. It consists of
|
|
- `argv`: The command line arguments passed to the Quartz [[build]] command
|
|
- `cfg`: The full Quartz [[configuration]]
|
|
- `allSlugs`: a list of all the valid content slugs (see [[paths]] for more information on what a `ServerSlug` is)
|
|
- `StaticResources` is defined in `quartz/resources.tsx`. It consists of
|
|
- `css`: a list of URLs for stylesheets that should be loaded
|
|
- `js`: a list of scripts that should be loaded. A script is described with the `JSResource` type which is also defined in `quartz/resources.tsx`. It allows you to define a load time (either before or after the DOM has been loaded), whether it should be a module, and either the source URL or the inline content of the script.
|
|
## Transformers
|
|
Transformers **map** over content, taking a Markdown file and outputting modified content or adding metadata to the file itself.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
export type QuartzTransformerPluginInstance = {
|
|
name: string
|
|
textTransform?: (ctx: BuildCtx, src: string | Buffer) => string | Buffer
|
|
markdownPlugins?: (ctx: BuildCtx) => PluggableList
|
|
htmlPlugins?: (ctx: BuildCtx) => PluggableList
|
|
externalResources?: (ctx: BuildCtx) => Partial<StaticResources>
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All transformer plugins must define at least a `name` field to register the plugin and a few optional functions that allow you to hook into various parts of transforming a single Markdown file.
|
|
|
|
- `textTransform` performs a text-to-text transformation *before* a file is parsed into the [Markdown AST](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast).
|
|
- `markdownPlugins` defines a list of [remark plugins](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark/blob/main/doc/plugins.md). `remark` is a tool that transforms Markdown to Markdown in a structured way.
|
|
- `htmlPlugins` defines a list of [rehype plugins](https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype/blob/main/doc/plugins.md). Similar to how `remark` works, `rehype` is a tool that transforms HTML to HTML in a structured way.
|
|
- `externalResources` defines any external resources the plugin may need to load on the client-side for it to work properly.
|
|
|
|
Normally for both `remark` and `rehype`, you can find existing plugins that you can use to . If you'd like to create your own `remark` or `rehype` plugin, checkout the [guide to creating a plugin](https://unifiedjs.com/learn/guide/create-a-plugin/) using `unified` (the underlying AST parser and transformer library).
|
|
|
|
A good example of a transformer plugin that borrows from the `remark` and `rehype` ecosystems is the [[Latex]] plugin:
|
|
|
|
```ts title="quartz/plugins/transformers/latex.ts"
|
|
import remarkMath from "remark-math"
|
|
import rehypeKatex from "rehype-katex"
|
|
import rehypeMathjax from "rehype-mathjax/svg.js"
|
|
import { QuartzTransformerPlugin } from "../types"
|
|
|
|
interface Options {
|
|
renderEngine: "katex" | "mathjax"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
export const Latex: QuartzTransformerPlugin<Options> = (opts?: Options) => {
|
|
const engine = opts?.renderEngine ?? "katex"
|
|
return {
|
|
name: "Latex",
|
|
markdownPlugins() {
|
|
return [remarkMath]
|
|
},
|
|
htmlPlugins() {
|
|
if (engine === "katex") {
|
|
// if you need to pass options into a plugin, you
|
|
// can use a tuple of [plugin, options]
|
|
return [[rehypeKatex, { output: "html" }]]
|
|
} else {
|
|
return [rehypeMathjax]
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
externalResources() {
|
|
if (engine === "katex") {
|
|
return {
|
|
css: [
|
|
"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.0/dist/katex.min.css",
|
|
],
|
|
js: [
|
|
{
|
|
src: "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.16.7/dist/contrib/copy-tex.min.js",
|
|
loadTime: "afterDOMReady",
|
|
contentType: "external",
|
|
},
|
|
],
|
|
}
|
|
} else {
|
|
return {}
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Another common thing that transformer plugins will do is parse a file and add extra data for that file:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
export const AddWordCount: QuartzTransformerPlugin = () => {
|
|
return {
|
|
name: "AddWordCount",
|
|
markdownPlugins() {
|
|
return [() => {
|
|
return (tree, file) => {
|
|
// tree is an `mdast` root element
|
|
// file is a `vfile`
|
|
const text = file.value
|
|
const words = text.split(" ").length
|
|
file.data.wordcount = words
|
|
}
|
|
}]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// tell typescript about our custom data fields we are adding
|
|
// other plugins will then also be aware of this data field
|
|
declare module "vfile" {
|
|
interface DataMap {
|
|
wordcount: number
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally, you can also perform transformations over Markdown or HTML ASTs using the `visit` function from the `unist-util-visit` package or the `findAndReplace` function from the `mdast-util-find-and-replace` package.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
export const TextTransforms: QuartzTransformerPlugin = () => {
|
|
return {
|
|
name: "TextTransforms",
|
|
markdownPlugins() {
|
|
return [() => {
|
|
return (tree, file) => {
|
|
// replace _text_ with the italics version
|
|
findAndReplace(tree, /_(.+)_/, (_value: string, ...capture: string[]) => {
|
|
// inner is the text inside of the () of the regex
|
|
const [inner] = capture
|
|
// return an mdast node
|
|
// https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast
|
|
return {
|
|
type: "emphasis",
|
|
children: [{ type: 'text', value: inner }]
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// remove all links (replace with just the link content)
|
|
// match by 'type' field on an mdast node
|
|
// https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast#link in this example
|
|
visit(tree, "link", (link: Link) => {
|
|
return {
|
|
type: "paragraph"
|
|
children: [{ type: 'text', value: link.title }]
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
}]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All transformer plugins can be found under `quartz/plugins/transformers`. If you decide to write your own transformer plugin, don't forget to re-export it under `quartz/plugins/transformers/index.ts`
|
|
|
|
A parting word: transformer plugins are quite complex so don't worry if you don't get them right away. Take a look at the built in transformers and see how they operate over content to get a better sense for how to accomplish what you are trying to do.
|
|
## Filters
|
|
Filters **filter** content, taking the output of all the transformers and determining what files to actually keep and what to discard.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
export type QuartzFilterPlugin<Options extends OptionType = undefined> = (
|
|
opts?: Options,
|
|
) => QuartzFilterPluginInstance
|
|
|
|
export type QuartzFilterPluginInstance = {
|
|
name: string
|
|
shouldPublish(ctx: BuildCtx, content: ProcessedContent): boolean
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A filter plugin must define a `name` field and a `shouldPublish` function that takes in a piece of content that has been processed by all the transformers and returns a `true` or `false` depending on whether it should be passed to the emitter plugins or not.
|
|
|
|
For example, here is the built-in plugin for removing drafts:
|
|
|
|
```ts title="quartz/plugins/filters/draft.ts"
|
|
import { QuartzFilterPlugin } from "../types"
|
|
|
|
export const RemoveDrafts: QuartzFilterPlugin<{}> = () => ({
|
|
name: "RemoveDrafts",
|
|
shouldPublish(_ctx, [_tree, vfile]) {
|
|
// uses frontmatter parsed from transformers
|
|
const draftFlag: boolean = vfile.data?.frontmatter?.draft ?? false
|
|
return !draftFlag
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Emitters
|
|
Emitters **reduce** over content, taking in a list of all the transformed and filtered content and creating output files.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
export type QuartzEmitterPlugin<Options extends OptionType = undefined> = (
|
|
opts?: Options,
|
|
) => QuartzEmitterPluginInstance
|
|
|
|
export type QuartzEmitterPluginInstance = {
|
|
name: string
|
|
emit(
|
|
ctx: BuildCtx,
|
|
content: ProcessedContent[],
|
|
resources: StaticResources,
|
|
emitCallback: EmitCallback,
|
|
): Promise<FilePath[]>
|
|
getQuartzComponents(ctx: BuildCtx): QuartzComponent[]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
An emitter plugin must define a `name` field an `emit` function and a `getQuartzComponents` function. `emit` is responsible for looking at all the parsed and filtered content and then appropriately creating files and returning a list of paths to files the plugin created.
|
|
|
|
Creating new files can be done via regular Node [fs module](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html) (i.e. `fs.cp` or `fs.writeFile`) or via the `emitCallback` if you are creating files that contain text. The `emitCallback` function is the 4th argument of the emit function. It's interface looks something like this:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
export type EmitCallback = (data: {
|
|
// the name of the file to emit (not including the file extension)
|
|
slug: ServerSlug
|
|
// the file extension
|
|
ext: `.${string}` | ""
|
|
// the file content to add
|
|
content: string
|
|
}) => Promise<FilePath>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is a thin wrapper around writing to the appropriate output folder and ensuring that intermediate directories exist. If you choose to use the native Node `fs` APIs, ensure you emit to the `argv.output` folder as well.
|
|
|
|
If you are creating an emitter plugin that needs to render components, there are three more things to be aware of:
|
|
- Your component should use `getQuartzComponents` to declare a list of `QuartzComponents` that it uses to construct the page. See the page on [[creating components]] for more information.
|
|
- You can use the `renderPage` function defined in `quartz/components/renderPage.tsx` to render Quartz components into HTML.
|
|
- If you need to render an HTML AST to JSX, you can use the `toJsxRuntime` function from `hast-util-to-jsx-runtime` library. An example of this can be found in `quartz/components/pages/Content.tsx`.
|
|
|
|
For example, the following is a simplified version of the content page plugin that renders every single page.
|
|
|
|
```tsx title="quartz/plugins/emitters/contentPage.tsx"
|
|
export const ContentPage: QuartzEmitterPlugin = () => {
|
|
// construct the layout
|
|
const layout: FullPageLayout = {
|
|
...sharedPageComponents,
|
|
...defaultContentPageLayout,
|
|
pageBody: Content(),
|
|
}
|
|
const { head, header, beforeBody, pageBody, left, right, footer} = layout
|
|
return {
|
|
name: "ContentPage",
|
|
getQuartzComponents() {
|
|
return [head, ...header, ...beforeBody, pageBody, ...left, ...right, footer]
|
|
},
|
|
async emit(ctx, content, resources, emit): Promise<FilePath[]> {
|
|
const cfg = ctx.cfg.configuration
|
|
const fps: FilePath[] = []
|
|
const allFiles = content.map((c) => c[1].data)
|
|
for (const [tree, file] of content) {
|
|
const slug = canonicalizeServer(file.data.slug!)
|
|
const externalResources = pageResources(slug, resources)
|
|
const componentData: QuartzComponentProps = {
|
|
fileData: file.data,
|
|
externalResources,
|
|
cfg,
|
|
children: [],
|
|
tree,
|
|
allFiles,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const content = renderPage(slug, componentData, opts, externalResources)
|
|
const fp = await emit({
|
|
content,
|
|
slug: file.data.slug!,
|
|
ext: ".html",
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
fps.push(fp)
|
|
}
|
|
return fps
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that it takes in a `FullPageLayout` as the options. It's made by combining a `SharedLayout` and a `PageLayout` both of which are provided through the `quartz.layout.ts` file.
