Markdown Plugin for ChatEngine

Adds the ability to render Markdown in a ChatEngine Chat

Quick Start

0. Have a ChatEngine server running already, instantiate a client and connect it

const ChatEngine = ChatEngineCore.create({
    publishKey: 'pub-key-here',
    subscribeKey: 'sub-key-here'
});

ChatEngine.connect('Username');
ChatEngine.on('$ready', () = { ... });

1. Attach this plugin to the channel you want, in this case global

ChatEngine.global.plugin(ChatEngineCore.plugin['chat-engine-markdown']());

2. Listen for the message event

ChatEngine.global.on('message', (payload) => {
    console.log(payload.data.text);
});

3. Send a message containing Markdown

ChatEngine.global.emit('message', {
    text: 'This is some *markdown* **for sure**.'
});
// This is some <em>markdown</em> <strong>for sure</strong>.
