Cosmere

Sync your markdown files to confluence.

Features

  • upload new versions only when necessary
  • upload/delete local images as attachments
  • convert PlantUML code fence to Confluence PlantUML macro 
    \```plantuml
@startuml
a --> b
@enduml
\```

Usage

Global Installation

npm install -g cosmere

# or

yarn global add cosmere

Library

npm install --save-dev cosmere

# or

yarn add --dev cosmere

Configuration

To get started generate configuration using

cosmere generate-config [--config=<path>]

which produces:

{
  "baseUrl": "YOUR_BASE_URL",
  "user": "YOUR_USERNAME",
  "pass": "YOUR_PASSWORD",
  "cachePath": "build",
  "prefix": "This document is automatically generated. Please don't edit it directly!",
  "pages": [
    {
      "pageId": "1234567890",
      "file": "README.md",
      "title": "Optional title in the confluence page, remove to use # h1 from markdown file instead"
    }
  ]
}

Continuous Integration

In most scenarios it is not recommended to store your credentials in the configuration file, because you will probably add it to your VCS. Instead it is recommended to provide the following environment variables in your build pipeline (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ...):

CONFLUENCE_USERNAME=YOUR_USERNAME
CONFLUENCE_PASSWORD=YOUR_PASSWORD

or add it in front of the command when executing locally (add a space in front of the command when using bash in order to not write the credentials to the bash history):

 CONFLUENCE_USER=YOUR_USERNAME CONFLUENCE_PASSWORD=YOUR_PASSWORD cosmere

Run

# global installation
cosmere --help

# local installation with yarn
yarn cosmere --hhelp

# local installation with npm
npm run cosmere --help

# or plain
node_modules/.bin/cosmere --help

or create an alias:

{
  "scripts": {
    "pushdoc": "cosmere"
  }
}

Troubleshooting

Custom certificates on Confluence instance

Prepend NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 to your cosmere call in order to not reject invalid certificates. This is risky and it's preferable to get proper certificates.

History

md2confluence

I had various scripts that stitched markdown files together and uploaded them. I forked md2confluence by Jormar Arellano and started playing around with that, but quickly noticed that many markdown files broke due to the conversion process (wiki -> storage instead of directly to storage).

Cosmere

The project diverged from its original intent and so I decided to rename it. Cosmere is the wonderful universe of various books written by Brandon Sanderson. If you are into fantasy I strongly recommend checking him out.
