Extension for mdast-util-from-markdown and/or mdast-util-to-markdown to support MDX (or MDX.js) in mdast. When parsing (from-markdown), must be combined with either micromark-extension-mdx or micromark-extension-mdxjs.

You might instead want to use this package through remark-mdx or remark-mdxjs with remark.

Alternatively, the extensions can be used separately:

Install

npm:

npm install mdast-util-mdx

Use

Say we have the following file, example.mdx:

import Box from "place"

Here’s an expression:

{
  1 + 1 /* } */
}

Which you can also put inline: {1+1}.

<Box>
  <SmallerBox>
    - Lists, which can be indented.
  </SmallerBox>
</Box>

And our script, example.js, looks as follows:

var fs = require('fs')
var fromMarkdown = require('mdast-util-from-markdown')
var toMarkdown = require('mdast-util-to-markdown')
var syntax = require('micromark-extension-mdxjs')
var mdx = require('mdast-util-mdx')

var doc = fs.readFileSync('example.mdx')

var tree = fromMarkdown(doc, {
  extensions: [syntax()],
  mdastExtensions: [mdx.fromMarkdown]
})

console.log(tree)

var out = toMarkdown(tree, {extensions: [mdx.toMarkdown]})

console.log(out)

Now, running node example yields (positional info removed for brevity):

{
  type: 'root',
  children: [
    {
      type: 'mdxjsEsm',
      value: 'import Box from "place"',
      data: {
        estree: {

        },
        {type: 'text', value: '.'}
      ]
    },
    {
      type: 'mdxJsxFlowElement',
      name: 'Box',
      attributes: [],
      children: [
        {

              start: null,
              spread: false,
              children: [
                {
                  type: 'listItem',
                  spread: false,
                  checked: null,
                  children: [
                    {
                      type: 'paragraph',
                      children: [
                        {type: 'text', value: 'Lists, which can be indented.'}
                      ]
                    }
                  ]
                }
              ]
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
import Box from "place"

Here’s an expression:

{
  1 + 1 /* } */
}

Which you can also put inline: {1+1}.

<Box>
  <SmallerBox>
    *   Lists, which can be indented.
  </SmallerBox>
</Box>
