## What is this?

This package contains an extension that adds support for the syntax enabled
by [MDX][mdxjs] to [`micromark`][micromark].
This extension is used inside MDX.
It supports export/imports, expressions, JSX, and turns some markdown features
off.

## When to use this

This project is useful when you want to support MDX.

You can use this extension when you are working with [`micromark`][micromark].

This package is aware of JavaScript syntax.
If you want to be unaware of JavaScript, for example because expressions can
include Rust or variables or whatnot, use
[`micromark-extension-mdx`][micromark-extension-mdx].

Alternatively, you can also use the underlying syntax extensions separately:

*   [`micromark-extension-mdx-expression`][micromark-extension-mdx-expression]
    — support MDX expressions
*   [`micromark-extension-mdx-jsx`][micromark-extension-mdx-jsx]
    — support MDX JSX
*   [`micromark-extension-mdx-md`][micromark-extension-mdx-md]
    — turn some CommonMark features off
*   [`micromark-extension-mdxjs-esm`][micromark-extension-mdxjs-esm]
    — support MDX export/imports

When you need a syntax tree, combine this package with
[`mdast-util-mdx`][mdast-util-mdx].

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 only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:

```sh
npm install micromark-extension-mdxjs
```

In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```js
import {mdxjs} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-extension-mdxjs@1'
```

In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```html
<script type="module">
  import {mdxjs} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-extension-mdxjs@1?bundle'
</script>
```

## Use

```js
import {micromark} from 'micromark'
import {mdxjs} from 'micromark-extension-mdxjs'

const output = micromark('import a from "b"\n\na <b /> c {1 + 1} d', {
  extensions: [mdxjs()]
})

console.log(output)
```

Yields:

```html
<p>a  c  d</p>
```

…which is useless: go to a syntax tree with
[`mdast-util-from-markdown`][mdast-util-from-markdown] and
[`mdast-util-mdx`][mdast-util-mdx] instead.

## API

This package exports the identifiers [`mdxjs`][api-mdxjs].
There is no default export.

The separate extensions support the [`development` condition][development].
Run `node --conditions development module.js` to get instrumented dev code.
Without this condition, production code is loaded.

### `mdxjs(options?)`

Create an extension for `micromark` to enable MDX syntax.

###### Parameters

*   `options` ([`Options`][api-options], optional)
    — configuration; passed to all extensions

###### Returns

Extension for `micromark` that can be passed in `extensions` to enable MDX
syntax ([`Extension`][micromark-extension]).

### `Options`

Configuration (TypeScript type).

###### Type

```ts
export type {Options} from 'micromark-extension-mdx-expression'
```

See [`Options`][micromark-extension-mdx-expression-options].

*   [JSX](https://github.com/micromark/micromark-extension-mdx-jsx#authoring)
*   [ESM](https://github.com/micromark/micromark-extension-mdxjs-esm#authoring)
*   [CommonMark features not in MDX](https://github.com/micromark/micromark-extension-mdx-md#authoring)

## Syntax

*   [expressions](https://github.com/micromark/micromark-extension-mdx-expression/tree/main/packages/micromark-extension-mdx-expression#syntax)
*   [JSX](https://github.com/micromark/micromark-extension-mdx-jsx#syntax)
*   [ESM](https://github.com/micromark/micromark-extension-mdxjs-esm#syntax)
*   CommonMark features not in MDX: n/a

## Errors

For info on what errors are thrown, see each corresponding readme:

*   [expressions](https://github.com/micromark/micromark-extension-mdx-expression/tree/main/packages/micromark-extension-mdx-expression#errors)
*   [JSX](https://github.com/micromark/micromark-extension-mdx-jsx#errors)
*   [ESM](https://github.com/micromark/micromark-extension-mdxjs-esm#errors)

## Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional type [`Options`][api-options].

## Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained
versions of Node.js.
As of now, that is Node.js 16+.
Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.

These extensions work with `micromark` version 3+.

## Security

This package is safe.
