  transforms: {
    CONTRIBUTORS: require('markdown-magic-github-contributors')
  }
}

const markdownPath = path.join(__dirname, 'README.md')
markdownMagic(markdownPath, config)

table will be placed here
<!-- ⛔️ AUTO-GENERATED-CONTENT:END -->

This is an option step but will allow you to generate docs easily with npm run docs

  "scripts": {
    "docs": "node generate-docs.js",
  }

format (string) (optional) - Default is table. possible values: list, aligned, & table. See example

Setting options

Global configuration

You can configure the plugin when required in as a tranform. This will apply to all instances of the <!-- ⛔️ AUTO-GENERATED-CONTENT (CONTRIBUTORS) --> comment, unless overriden inline.

const fs = require('fs')
const path = require('path')
const markdownMagic = require('markdown-magic')

const config = {
  transforms: {
    CONTRIBUTORS: require('markdown-magic-github-contributors')({
      format: 'list'
    })
  }
}

const markdownPath = path.join(__dirname, 'README.md')
markdownMagic(markdownPath, config)

Inline configuration

You can override global config settings with inline options like so:

<!-- ⛔️ AUTO-GENERATED-CONTENT:START (CONTRIBUTORS:format=list) -->
table will be placed here
<!-- ⛔️ AUTO-GENERATED-CONTENT:END -->
