Load source files

Concatenate stdin and documents passed as files, buffer into a single markdown document, parse using commonmark, convert the parsed AST to newline-delimited JSON.

npm i mkcat --save

For the command line interface install mkdoc globally (npm i -g mkdoc).

Create the stream and write a commonmark document:

var cat = require('mkcat')
  , ast = require('mkast');
cat({files: ['README.md']})
  .pipe(ast.stringify({indent: 2}))
  .pipe(process.stdout);

Read files:

mkcat README.md | mkout

Read stdin:

cat README.md | mkcat | mkout

However this is not recommended because file path information is lost which is important for some processing tools.

Concatenate stdin with files:

cat README.md | mkcat API.md DEVELOPER.md | mkout

Usage: mkcat [options] [files...]

  Reads markdown documents.

Options
  -h, --help              Display help and exit
  --version               Print the version and exit

cat(opts[, cb])

Concatenate stdin with files.

Callback takes the form function(err, result) where the type of result will change depending upon the options given.

When none of the buffer, stringify and ast options are given the the callback is invoked with no result when the serialize stream finishes.

Returns a buffered reader stream.

• opts Object processing options.
• cb Function callback function.

• files Array list of files to concatenate.
• input Readable input stream to read before files.
• output Writable output stream.
• encoding String=utf8 character encoding.
• buffer Boolean=false callback with Buffer.
• stringify Boolean=false callback with a string.
• ast Boolean=false callback with the parsed AST.
• serialize Boolean=false pipe to a serialize stream.
