Docs / Getting started
This article explains how to integrate MDX into your project. It shows how to use MDX with your bundler and JSX runtime of choice. To understand how the MDX format works, we recommend that you start with § What is MDX. See § Using MDX when you’re all set up and ready to use MDX.
MDX relies on JSX, so it’s required that your project supports JSX as well. Any JSX runtime (React, Preact, Vue, etc.) will do. Note that we do compile JSX to JavaScript for you so you don’t have to set that up.
All @mdx-js/*
packages are written in modern JavaScript. A Node.js version of 16.0 or later is needed to use them. Our packages are also ESM only, so they have to be import
ed instead of require
d.
Note: Using Rust instead of Node.js? Try mdxjs-rs
!
MDX is a language that’s compiled to JavaScript. (We also compile regular markdown to JavaScript.) The easiest way to get started is to use an integration for your bundler if you have one:
@mdx-js/esbuild
@mdx-js/rollup
@mdx-js/loader
You can also use MDX without bundlers:
@mdx-js/node-loader
@mdx-js/mdx
to compile MDX files@mdx-js/mdx
to evaluate (compile and run) MDX filesFor more info on these tools, see their dedicated sections: ¶ Next.js, ¶ Node.js, ¶ Rollup, ¶ Vite, ¶ esbuild, and ¶ webpack.
Now you’ve set up an integration or @mdx-js/mdx
itself, it’s time to configure your JSX runtime.
@mdx-js/react
jsxImportSource
in ProcessorOptions
to 'preact'
; optionally install and configure @mdx-js/preact
svelte-jsx
, and set jsxImportSource
in ProcessorOptions
to 'svelte-jsx'
jsxImportSource
in ProcessorOptions
to 'vue'
; optionally install and configure @mdx-js/vue
jsxImportSource
in ProcessorOptions
to 'solid-js/h'
jsxImportSource
in ProcessorOptions
to '@emotion/react'
@mdx-js/react
, then wrap your MDX content in a <ThemeProvider />
Other JSX runtimes are supported by setting jsxImportSource
in ProcessorOptions
.
For more info on these tools, see their dedicated sections: ¶ Emotion, ¶ Preact, ¶ React, ¶ Solid, ¶ Svelte, ¶ Theme UI, and ¶ Vue.
You can enhance the experience of using MDX by adding support of it to your editor:
mdx-js/mdx-analyzer
jxnblk/vim-mdx-js
jonsuh/mdx-sublime
JetBrains/mdx-intellij-plugin
The syntax highlighting that powers our VS Code extension and that is used to highlight code blocks on GitHub is maintained at wooorm/markdown-tm-language
.
First install the package:
npm install @types/mdx
…TypeScript should automatically pick it up:
import Post from './post.mdx' // `Post` is now typed.
(alias) function Post(props: MDXProps): Element
import Post
An function component which renders the MDX content using JSX.
props
inside the MDX component.Our packages are typed with TypeScript. For types to work, the JSX
namespace must be typed. This is done by installing and using the types of your framework, such as @types/react
.
To enable types for imported .mdx
, .md
, etc., install and use @types/mdx
. This package also exports several useful types, such as MDXComponents
which represents the components
prop. You can import them like so:
import type {MDXComponents} from 'mdx/types.js'
(alias) type MDXComponents = NestedMDXComponents & {
symbol?: Component<React.SVGProps<SVGSymbolElement>>;
object?: Component<React.DetailedHTMLProps<React.ObjectHTMLAttributes<HTMLObjectElement>, HTMLObjectElement>>;
... 175 more ...;
view?: Component<...>;
} & {
...;
}
import MDXComponents
MDX components may be passed as the components
.
The key is the name of the element to override. The value is the component to render instead.
MDX is a programming language. If you trust your authors, that’s fine. If you don’t, it’s unsafe.
Do not let random people from the internet write MDX. If you do, you might want to look into using <iframe>
s with sandbox
, but security is hard, and that doesn’t seem to be 100%. For Node.js, vm2 sounds interesting. But you should probably also sandbox the whole OS using Docker or similar, perform rate limiting, and make sure processes can be killed when taking too long.
import mdx from '@mdx-js/esbuild'
import esbuild from 'esbuild'
await esbuild.build({
entryPoints: ['index.mdx'],

})
(alias) function mdx(options?: Readonly<Options> | null | undefined): esbuild.Plugin
import mdx
Create an esbuild plugin to compile MDX to JS.
esbuild takes care of turning modern JavaScript features into syntax that works wherever you want it to. With other integrations you might need to use Babel for this, but with esbuild that’s not needed. See esbuild’s docs for more info.
import esbuild
import esbuild

}>): Promise<...>
This function invokes the "esbuild" command-line tool for you. It returns a promise that either resolves with a "BuildResult" object or rejects with a "BuildFailure" object.

We support esbuild. Install and configure the esbuild plugin @mdx-js/esbuild
. Configure your JSX runtime depending on which one (React, Preact, Vue, etc.) you use.

namespace console
var console: Console
The console
module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers.
The module exports two specific components:
Console
class with methods such as console.log()
, console.error()
and console.warn()
that can be used to write to any Node.js stream.console
instance configured to write to process.stdout
and process.stderr
. The global console
can be used without calling require('console')
.Warning: The global console object's methods are neither consistently synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the note on process I/O
for more information.
Example using the global console
:
console.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints error message and stack trace to stderr:
// Error: Whoops, something bad happened
// at [eval]:5:15
// at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18)
// at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38)
// at node:internal/process/execution:77:19
// at [eval]-wrapper:6:22
// at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60)
// at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3
const name = 'Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr
Example using the Console
class:
const out = getStreamSomehow();
const err = getStreamSomehow();
const myConsole = new console.Console(out, err);
myConsole.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err
const name = 'Will Robinson';
myConsole.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to err
(method) Console.log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void
Prints to stdout
with newline. Multiple arguments can be passed, with the first used as the primary message and all additional used as substitution values similar to printf(3)
(the arguments are all passed to util.format()
).
const count = 5;
console.log('count: %d', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout
console.log('count:', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout
See util.format()
for more information.
const result: babel.BabelFileResult | null
You should probably use Rollup or webpack instead of Babel directly as that gives the best interface. It is possible to use @mdx-js/mdx
in Babel and it’s a bit faster, as it skips @mdx-js/mdx
serialization and Babel parsing, if Babel is used anyway.
Babel does not support syntax extensions to its parser (it has “syntax” plugins but those only turn internal flags on or off). It does support setting a different parser. Which in turn lets us choose whether to use the @mdx-js/mdx
or @babel/parser
.
Astro has its own MDX integration. You can add the integration with the Astro CLI: npx astro add mdx
.
This base setup lets you import markdown, Astro components, and MDX files as components. See Astro’s Framework components guide for info on how to use components from frameworks in your MDX files.
For more on how to combine Astro and MDX, see Astro’s MDX integration docs.
Docusaurus supports MDX by default. See Docusaurus’ MDX and React guide for info on how to use MDX with Docusaurus.
Gatsby has its own plugin to support MDX. See gatsby-plugin-mdx
on how to use MDX with Gatsby.

MDX files can be imported in Node by using @mdx-js/node-loader
. See its readme on how to configure it.
MDX files can be imported in Bun by using Create an esbuild plugin to compile MDX to JS. esbuild takes care of turning modern JavaScript features into syntax that works wherever you want it to. With other integrations you might need to use Babel for this, but with esbuild that’s not needed. See esbuild’s docs for more info.
