Example Markdown Parse

markdownParse.js

// I'm reading this in from the filesystem, obviously you wouldn't do this
const fs = require('fs');
const readFile = (path) => fs.readFileSync(path, { encoding: 'utf8' });

const MARKDOWN_H3 = '###'; // all rules are delimited by h3s
const EARLY_SECTIONS_COUNT = 3; // early sections can be disgarded

const rules = readFile('./community-rules.md')
                .split(MARKDOWN_H3)
                .slice(EARLY_SECTIONS_COUNT);

const ruleObjects = rules.reduce((objects, rule) => {
  const [titleSection, goodSection, badBehavior] = rule.split("</span>");
  const title = titleSection.split("\n")[0];
  const goodBehavior = goodSection.split("<span class=")[0];
  return [...objects, { title, goodBehavior, badBehavior }];
}, [])

console.log(ruleObjects);
