mdapply

A CLI tool to extract code blocks from markdown files and create actual files from them.

Usage

npx mdapply <markdown-file-or-url>

Supported Code Block Formats

The tool looks for code blocks with file path parameters:

Using path parameter:

```js path="src/index.js"
console.log("Hello, world!");
```

You can also use name or title

Features

• Supports both local markdown files and URLs
• Creates directory structure automatically
• Uses the marked library for robust markdown parsing
• Supports multiple parameter names (path, name, title)
• Handles quoted and unquoted parameter values

Flow

1. Make a post on X with code examples
2. Use xymake URL and a prompt to generate files
3. Use npx mdapply {url} to extract and create the files locally
4. Test and iterate on the generated code

Example

Given a markdown file with:

```js path="package.json"
{
  "name": "my-project",
  "version": "1.0.0"
}
```

```js path="src/index.js"
console.log("Starting application...");
```

Running npx mdapply example.md will create:

• package.json
• src/index.js
