How to add directives to an AST?

[lukasb]

This shows an example of a leaf directive as the child of a paragraph: https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-directive/blob/main/readme.md

However, MdastParagraph.children is of type PhrasingContent[]. I could add LeafDirective to PhrasingContentMap, but that feels wrong - I would expect that mdast-util-directive would do that if it was necessary.

What is the correct way to achieve the AST shown in the linked example?

Welcome @lukasb!

The readme has many examples, could you clarify which you are looking at?

Are you asking about the typescript type?
That is registered by the plugin you don’t have to add anything.

If you are looking for how an AST should look.
I'd recommend using https://remark.js.org/
An enter what you want the markdown to look like and use that AST as a reference.

My mistake - I was trying to add a LeafDirective to a Heading when it should have been a TextDirective. Thanks!
