What is this?
This package contains two extensions that add support for MDX ESM syntax in markdown to mdast. These extensions plug intomdast-util-from-markdown
mdast-util-from-markdown (to support parsing
ESM in markdown into a syntax tree) and
mdast-util-to-markdown
mdast-util-to-markdown (to support serializing
ESM in syntax trees to markdown).When to use this
You can use these extensions when you are working withmdast-util-from-markdown
and mdast-util-to-markdown
already.When working with
mdast-util-from-markdown
, you must combine this package
with micromark-extension-mdxjs-esm
extension.When you are working with syntax trees and want all of MDX, use
mdast-util-mdx
mdast-util-mdx instead.All these packages are used in
remark-mdx
remark-mdx, which
focusses on making it easier to transform content by abstracting these
internals away.Install
This package is ESM onlyesm. In Node.js (version 14.14+ and 16.0+), install with npm:npm install mdast-util-mdxjs-esm
In Deno with
esm.sh
esmsh:import {mdxjsEsmFromMarkdown, mdxjsEsmToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-mdxjs-esm@1'
In browsers with
esm.sh
esmsh:<script type="module">
import {mdxjsEsmFromMarkdown, mdxjsEsmToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-mdxjs-esm@1?bundle'
</script>
Use
Say our documentexample.mdx
contains:import a from 'b'
export const c = ''
d
…and our module
example.js
looks as follows:import fs from 'node:fs/promises'
import * as acorn from 'acorn'
import {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown'
import {toMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-to-markdown'
import {mdxjsEsm} from 'micromark-extension-mdxjs-esm'
import {mdxjsEsmFromMarkdown, mdxjsEsmToMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-mdxjs-esm'
const doc = await fs.readFile('example.mdx')
const tree = fromMarkdown(doc, {
extensions: [mdxjsEsm({acorn, addResult: true})],
mdastExtensions: [mdxjsEsmFromMarkdown]
})
console.log(tree)
const out = toMarkdown(tree, {extensions: [mdxjsEsmToMarkdown]})
console.log(out)
…now running
node example.js
yields (positional info removed for brevity):{
type: 'root',
children: [
{
type: 'mdxjsEsm',

API
This package exports the identifiersmdxjsEsmFromMarkdown
api-mdxjs-esm-from-markdown and
mdxjsEsmToMarkdown
api-mdxjs-esm-to-markdown.
There is no default export.mdxjsEsmFromMarkdown
Extension for mdast-util-from-markdown
mdast-util-from-markdown to enable
MDX ESM.When using the micromark syntax extensionextension with
addResult
, nodes
will have a data.estree
field set to an ESTree Program
program node.mdxjsEsmToMarkdown
Extension for mdast-util-to-markdown
mdast-util-to-markdown to enable MDX
ESM.MdxjsEsm
MDX ESM (import/export) node (TypeScript type).Type
import type {Program} from 'estree-jsx'
import type {Literal} from 'mdast'
interface MdxjsEsm extends Literal {
type: 'mdxjsEsm'
data?: {estree?: Program | null | undefined}
}
MdxjsEsmHast
Same as MdxjsEsm
api-mdxjs-esm, but registered with @types/hast
(TypeScript type).Type
import type {Program} from 'estree-jsx'
import type {Literal} from 'hast'
interface MdxjsEsm extends Literal {
type: 'mdxjsEsm'
data?: {estree?: Program | null | undefined}
}
HTML
MDX ESM has no representation in HTML. Though, when you are dealing with MDX, you will likely go through hast. You can enable passing MDX ESM through to hast by configuringmdast-util-to-hast
mdast-util-to-hast with passThrough: ['mdxjsEsm']
.Syntax
See Syntax inmicromark-extension-mdxjs-esm
syntax.Syntax tree
The following interfaces are added to mdast by this utility.Nodes
MdxjsEsm
interface MdxjsEsm <: Literal {
type: 'mdxjsEsm'
}
MdxjsEsm (Literaldfn-literal) represents ESM import/exports embedded in MDX. It can be used where flowdfn-flow-content content is expected. Its content is represented by its
value
field.For example, the following Markdown:
import a from 'b'
Yields:
{
type: 'mdxjsEsm',
value: 'import a from \'b\''
}
Content model
FlowContent
(MDX.js ESM)
type FlowContentMdxjsEsm = MdxjsEsm | FlowContent
Note that when ESM is present, it can only exist as top-level content: if it has a parentdfn-parent, that parent must be Rootdfn-root.
Types
This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional typesMdxjsEsm
api-mdxjs-esm and
MdxjsEsmHast
api-mdxjs-esm-hast.It also registers the node type with
@types/mdast
and @types/hast
.
If you’re working with the syntax tree, make sure to import this utility
somewhere in your types, as that registers the new node types in the tree./**
* @typedef {import('mdast-util-mdxjs-esm')}
*/
import {visit} from 'unist-util-visit'
/** @type {import('mdast').Root} */
const tree = getMdastNodeSomeHow()
visit(tree, (node) => {
// `node` can now be an ESM node.
})
Compatibility
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 14.14+ and 16.0+. Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.This plugin works with
mdast-util-from-markdown
version 1+ and
mdast-util-to-markdown
version 1+.Related
