Possible to render a Markdown Content with Forge

[Gernot Grames]

Hi,

i am developing a plugin with the possibility to load a remote README.md file.

But i can't find a Forge Component to render the Markdown content correctly.

Is it possible to load a 3rd Party react Module to render this?

For example https://github.com/remarkjs/react-markdown

Any ideas

Thanks

Hi @Gernot Grames ,

Forge functions execute in a custom NodeJS runtime which supports most NodeJS libraries. So whilst your Forge app function can include the library and convert markdown to HTML, this is all happening within the function and not the browser. If you need the HTML rendered in a browser, you'll need to use Forge's custom UI capability. https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/custom-ui/

For further questions about Forge, you're better off asking our developer community at https://community.developer.atlassian.com/c/forge/45.
