## What is this?

This package contains two extensions that add support for GFM task list item
syntax in markdown to [mdast][].
These extensions plug into
[`mdast-util-from-markdown`][mdast-util-from-markdown] (to support parsing
task lists in markdown into a syntax tree) and
[`mdast-util-to-markdown`][mdast-util-to-markdown] (to support serializing
task lists in syntax trees to markdown).

## When to use this

You can use these extensions when you are working with
`mdast-util-from-markdown` and `mdast-util-to-markdown` already.

When working with `mdast-util-from-markdown`, you must combine this package
with
[`micromark-extension-gfm-task-list-item`][extension].

When you don’t need a syntax tree, you can use [`micromark`][micromark]
directly with `micromark-extension-gfm-task-list-item`.

When you are working with syntax trees and want all of GFM, use
[`mdast-util-gfm`][mdast-util-gfm] instead.

All these packages are used [`remark-gfm`][remark-gfm], which
focusses on making it easier to transform content by abstracting these
internals away.

This utility does not handle how markdown is turned to HTML.
That’s done by [`mdast-util-to-hast`][mdast-util-to-hast].

## Install

This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:

```sh
npm install mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item
```

In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```js
import {gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown, gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item@2'
```

In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```html
<script type="module">
  import {gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown, gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item@2?bundle'
</script>
```

## Use

Say our document `example.md` contains:

```markdown
* [ ] To do
* [x] Done

1. Mixed…
2. [x] …messages
```

…and our module `example.js` looks as follows:

```js
import fs from 'node:fs/promises'
import {gfmTaskListItem} from 'micromark-extension-gfm-task-list-item'
import {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown'
import {gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown, gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item'
import {toMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-to-markdown'

const doc = await fs.readFile('example.md')

const tree = fromMarkdown(doc, {
  extensions: [gfmTaskListItem],
  mdastExtensions: [gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown]
})

console.log(tree)

const out = toMarkdown(tree, {extensions: [gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown]})

console.log(out)
```

…now running `node example.js` yields (positional info removed for brevity):

```js
{
 type: 'root',
 children: [
   {
     type: 'list',
     ordered: false,
     start: null,
     spread: false,
     children: [
       {
         type: 'listItem',
         spread: false,
         checked: false,
         children: [
           {type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'To do'}]}
         ]
       },
       {
         type: 'listItem',
         spread: false,
         checked: true,
         children: [
           {type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Done'}]}
         ]
       }
     ]
   },
   {
     type: 'list',
     ordered: true,
     start: 1,
     spread: false,
     children: [
       {
         type: 'listItem',
         spread: false,
         checked: null,
         children: [
           {type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Mixed…'}]}
         ]
       },
       {
         type: 'listItem',
         spread: false,
         checked: true,
         children: [
           {type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: '…messages'}]}
         ]
       }
     ]
   }
 ]
}
```

```markdown
*   [ ] To do
*   [x] Done

1.  Mixed…
2.  [x] …messages
```

## API

This package exports the identifiers
[`gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown`][api-gfm-task-list-item-from-markdown] and
[`gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown`][api-gfm-task-list-item-to-markdown].
There is no default export.

### `gfmTaskListItemFromMarkdown()`

Create an extension for [`mdast-util-from-markdown`][mdast-util-from-markdown]
to enable GFM task list items in markdown.

###### Returns

Extension for `mdast-util-from-markdown` to enable GFM task list items
([`FromMarkdownExtension`][frommarkdownextension]).

### `gfmTaskListItemToMarkdown()`

Create an extension for [`mdast-util-to-markdown`][mdast-util-to-markdown] to
enable GFM task list items in markdown.

###### Returns

Extension for `mdast-util-to-markdown` to enable GFM task list items
([`ToMarkdownExtension`][tomarkdownextension]).

## HTML

This utility does not handle how markdown is turned to HTML.
That’s done by [`mdast-util-to-hast`][mdast-util-to-hast].

## Syntax

See [Syntax in `micromark-extension-gfm-task-list-item`][syntax].

## Syntax tree

The following interfaces are added to **[mdast][]** by this utility.

### Nodes

#### `ListItem` (GFM)

```idl
interface ListItemGfm <: ListItem {
  checked: boolean?
}
```

In GFM, a `checked` field can be present.
It represents whether the item is done (when `true`), not done (when `false`),
or indeterminate or not applicable (when `null` or not present).

### Content model

#### `ListContent` (GFM)

```idl
type ListContentGfm = ListItemGfm
```

## Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It does not export additional types.

The `ListItem` type of the mdast nodes are exposed from `@types/mdast`.

## Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line,
`mdast-util-gfm-task-list-item@^2`, compatible with Node.js 16.
