GitHubCopy is a simple TypeScript program that generates Markdown code. Combined with the free service GitHub Pages, you can integrate a Copy code button or link directly into your Markdown files. The button/link is completely customizable because it's just a regular URL. No servers needed. No additional files needed. The only visible modification you need to add to your Markdown files is a little arrow. It would look like this:
class Animal extends Dog;Copy code
More content...
Here would be a JS Script tag.
You can use the GitHubCopy generator in every JavaScript environment, either as a module or as a function as the TS source or as compiled JS. For more infos about the generator, read the JSDoc comments in the TS source code.
To integrate the code into your Markdown file, just paste the [result].markdown at the end of your markdown file, and then you just have to link to your GitHub Page with the link provided by the script ([result].urls[x].url).
Creating a GitHub Page is pretty easy:
- Go to your repository page.
- Click on the settings tab.
- Scroll to the GitHub Pages section
- Select a branch that you want to publish
- Click on save
- (Optional) Enter your domain to use your own instead of a GitHub.io subdomain
See demo.md.
I might add a web interface soon. Currently you have to use a JS Console, but it can be ported for web because it's written in TS.
