gatsby-remark-copy-linked-files

Copies local files linked to/from markdown to your public folder.

Install

npm install --save gatsby-remark-copy-linked-files

How to use

Basic usage

// In your gatsby-config.js
plugins: [
  {
    resolve: `gatsby-transformer-remark`,
    options: {
      plugins: ["gatsby-remark-copy-linked-files"],
    },
  },
];

How to change the directory the files are added to.

By default, all files will be copied to the root of the public dir, but you can choose a different location using the destinationDir option. Provide a path, relative to the public directory. The path must be within the public directory, so path/to/dir is fine, but ../../dir is not.

// In your gatsby-config.js
plugins: [
  {
    resolve: `gatsby-transformer-remark`,
    options: {
      plugins: [
        {
          resolve: 'gatsby-remark-copy-linked-files',
          options: {
            destinationDir: 'path/to/dir',
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
]

How to override which file types are ignored

// In your gatsby-config.js
plugins: [
  {
    resolve: `gatsby-transformer-remark`,
    options: {
      plugins: [
        {
          resolve: "gatsby-remark-copy-linked-files",
          options: {
            // `ignoreFileExtensions` defaults to [`png`, `jpg`, `jpeg`, `bmp`, `tiff`]
            // as we assume you'll use gatsby-remark-images to handle
            // images in markdown as it automatically creates responsive
            // versions of images.
            //
            // If you'd like to not use gatsby-remark-images and just copy your
            // original images to the public directory, set
            // `ignoreFileExtensions` to an empty array.
            ignoreFileExtensions: [],
          },
        },
      ],
    },
  },
];

Then in your Markdown files, link to the file you desire to reference.

E.g.

---
title: My awesome blog post

Hey everyone, I just made a sweet PDF with lots of interesting stuff in it.

[Download it now](my-awesome-pdf.pdf)

my-awesome-pdf.pdf should be in the same directory as the markdown file. When you build your site, the file will be copied to the public folder and the markdown HTML will be modified to point to it.
