New Rendering Pipeline for Vocabulary Collection using Unified and Rehype

Summary

Technical Details

Core Components

1. Dynamic Route Handler (site/src/pages/more-about/[vocabulary].astro):

import unified from 'unified';
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse';
import remarkAsf from '@utils/markdown/remark-asf';

// Process content with custom remark plugin
const processedContent = await unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkAsf, { markdownFile: entry.id })
  .process(entry.body);

1. Custom Remark Plugin (site/src/utils/markdown/remark-asf.ts):

export default function remarkAsf(options?: RemarkAsfOptions): Plugin<[], Root, Root> {
  if (!options?.markdownFile) {
    throw new Error('markdownFile is required for remarkAsf plugin');
  }

  return function () {
    return async function (tree: Root): Promise<Root> {
      // Transform markdown AST with enhanced Astro features
    };
  };
}

Key Changes

1. Type Safety Improvements:
   • Added proper TypeScript configurations for module resolution
   • Implemented strict typing for unified plugin chain
   • Enhanced error handling with proper type checks
2. Unified Pipeline Integration:
   • Integrated remark-parse for initial markdown parsing
   • Added custom remarkAsf plugin for Astro-specific transformations
   • Set up proper plugin composition with unified ecosystem
3. Component Integration:
   • Connected with OneArticle and OneArticleOnPage components
   • Proper prop typing for content passing
   • Structured error handling for missing entries

Impact

• Improved markdown processing reliability
• Better type safety across the rendering pipeline
• Enhanced maintainability through modular plugin architecture
• Consistent handling of special markdown formats
