standard-markdown

library7.1.0jsnpmunverified

Test your Markdown files for Standard JavaScript Style™. Current stable version is 7.1.0 (requires Node >=11). Release cadence is sporadic, with major versions bumping the underlying `standard` dependency. Key differentiators: it lints JavaScript code blocks inside Markdown files (GitHub-Flavored `js`/`javascript` blocks), disables certain rules inappropriate for inline code (e.g., no-undef, no-unused-vars), and supports auto-fixing via `standard`. Alternatives include `remark-lint` for general Markdown linting or manual extraction of code blocks.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import standardMarkdown from 'standard-markdown'

✗ const standardMarkdown = require('standard-markdown')

ESM-only since v7; no default export for direct linting, module exposes lint and lintFiles functions.

lint

✓ import { lint } from 'standard-markdown'

✗ const { lint } = require('standard-markdown')

Available as named export for programmatic use. lint() lints a given string.

lintFiles

✓ import { lintFiles } from 'standard-markdown'

✗ import lintFiles from 'standard-markdown'

Named export; accepts glob patterns and returns results.

Lints all .md files in the docs directory (except api subdirectory) using standard-markdown programmatically with ESM imports and async/await.

import { lintFiles } from 'standard-markdown' async function lintMarkdownFiles() { try { const results = await lintFiles(['docs/**/*.md', '!docs/api/**/*.md']) if (results.length === 0) { console.log('No lint errors found.') } else { results.forEach(result => { console.log(`File: ${result.filePath}`) result.messages.forEach(msg => { console.log(` Line ${msg.line}: ${msg.message}`) }) }) } } catch (err) { console.error('Linting failed:', err) } } lintMarkdownFiles()

Known issues

breakingstandard-markdown v7.0.0 drops support for Node.js versions below 11.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to >=11.

affects: >=7.0.0

breakingstandard-markdown v6.0.0 drops support for Node.js 6.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to >=8.

affects: >=6.0.0

breakingstandard-markdown v7.0.0 is ESM-only; require() will fail with ERR_REQUIRE_ESM.

fix

Use import syntax or switch to dynamic import().

affects: >=7.0.0

gotchastandard-markdown disables several rules (no-undef, no-unused-vars) that may give false sense of security for code blocks.

fix

Manually review code blocks for correctness beyond style.

affects: *

breakingThe default export was removed; lint and lintFiles are now named exports.

fix

Switch from default import to named imports: import { lint } from 'standard-markdown'.

affects: >=7.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /path/to/standard-markdown not supported.

Using require() on an ESM-only package in Node.js <12 or with CJS module system.

fix

Use import syntax, or use dynamic import(): const standardMarkdown = await import('standard-markdown').

TypeError: standardMarkdown.lintFiles is not a function

Importing the default export (which no longer exists) instead of named exports.

fix

Use import { lintFiles } from 'standard-markdown' instead of import standardMarkdown from 'standard-markdown'.

Error: Cannot find module 'standard-markdown'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.
