## ✍️ Markdown
|
|
|
|
Astro comes with out-of-the-box Markdown support powered by the expansive [**remark**](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark) ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
## Remark Plugins
|
|
|
|
**This is the first draft of Markdown support!** While we plan to support user-provided `remark` plugins soon, our hope is that you won't need `remark` plugins at all!
|
|
|
|
In addition to [custom components inside the `<Markdown>` component](#markdown-component), Astro comes with [GitHub-flavored Markdown](https://github.github.com/gfm/) support, [Footnotes](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-footnotes) syntax, [Smartypants](https://github.com/silvenon/remark-smartypants), and syntax highlighting via [Prism](https://prismjs.com/) pre-enabled. These features are likely to be configurable in the future.
|
|
|
|
### Markdown Pages
|
|
|
|
Astro treats any `.md` files inside of the `/src/pages` directory as pages. These pages are processed as plain Markdown files and do not support components. If you're looking to embed rich components in your Markdown, take a look at the [Markdown Component](#markdown-component) section.
|
|
|
|
#### `layout`
|
|
|
|
The only special Frontmatter key is `layout`, which defines the relative path to a `.astro` component which should wrap your Markdown content.
|
|
|
|
`src/pages/index.md`
|
|
|
|
```md
|
|
---
|
|
layout: ../layouts/main.astro
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
# Hello world!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Layout files are normal `.astro` components. Any Frontmatter defined in your `.md` page will be exposed to the Layout component as the `content` prop. `content` also has an `astro` key which holds special metadata about your file, like the complete Markdown `source` and a `headings` object.
|
|
|
|
The rendered Markdown content is placed into the default `<slot />` element.
|
|
|
|
`src/layouts/main.astro`
|
|
|
|
```jsx
|
|
---
|
|
export let content;
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
<html>
|
|
<head>
|
|
<title>{content.title}</title>
|
|
</head>
|
|
|
|
<body>
|
|
<slot/>
|
|
</body>
|
|
</html>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Markdown Component
|
|
|
|
Similar to tools like [MDX](https://mdxjs.com/) or [MDsveX](https://github.com/pngwn/MDsveX), Astro makes it straightforward to embed rich, interactive components inside of your Markdown content. The `<Markdown>` component is statically rendered, so it does not add any runtime overhead.
|
|
|
|
Astro exposes a special `Markdown` component for `.astro` files which enables markdown syntax for its children **recursively**. Within the `Markdown` component you may also use plain HTML or any other type of component that is supported by Astro.
|
|
|
|
````jsx
|
|
---
|
|
// For now, this import _must_ be named "Markdown" and _must not_ be wrapped with a custom component
|
|
// We're working on easing these restrictions!
|
|
import { Markdown } from 'astro/components';
|
|
import Layout from '../layouts/main.astro';
|
|
import MyFancyCodePreview from '../components/MyFancyCodePreview.tsx';
|
|
|
|
const expressions = 'Lorem ipsum';
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
<Layout>
|
|
<Markdown>
|
|
# Hello world!
|
|
|
|
**Everything** supported in a `.md` file is also supported here!
|
|
|
|
There is _zero_ runtime overhead.
|
|
|
|
In addition, Astro supports:
|
|
- Astro {expressions}
|
|
- Automatic indentation normalization
|
|
- Automatic escaping of expressions inside code blocks
|
|
|
|
```jsx
|
|
// This content is not transformed!
|
|
const object = { someOtherValue };
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Rich component support like any `.astro` file!
|
|
- Recursive Markdown support (Component children are also processed as Markdown)
|
|
|
|
<MyFancyCodePreview:visible>
|
|
```jsx
|
|
const object = { someOtherValue };
|
|
```
|
|
</MyFancyCodePreview:visible>
|
|
</Markdown>
|
|
</Layout>
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
### Remote Markdown
|
|
|
|
If you have Markdown in a remote source, you may pass it directly to the Markdown component through the `content` attribute. For example, the example below fetches the README from Snowpack's GitHub repository and renders it as HTML.
|
|
|
|
```jsx
|
|
---
|
|
import { Markdown } from 'astro/components';
|
|
|
|
const content = await fetch('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snowpackjs/snowpack/main/README.md').then(res => res.text());
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
<Layout>
|
|
<Markdown content={content} />
|
|
</Layout>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Some times you might want to combine dynamic markdown with static markdown. You can nest `Markdown` components to get the best of both worlds.
|
|
|
|
```jsx
|
|
---
|
|
import { Markdown } from 'astro/components';
|
|
|
|
const content = await fetch('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snowpackjs/snowpack/main/README.md').then(res => res.text());
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
<Layout>
|
|
<Markdown>
|
|
## Markdown example
|
|
|
|
Here we have some __Markdown__ code. We can also dynamically render content from remote places.
|
|
|
|
<Markdown content={content} />
|
|
</Mardown>
|
|
</Layout>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Security FAQs
|
|
|
|
**Aren't there security concerns to rendering remote markdown directly to HTML?**
|
|
|
|
Yes! Just like with regular HTML, improper use the `<Markdown>` component can open you up to a [cross-site scripting (XSS)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting) attack. If you are rendering untrusted content, be sure to _santize your content **before** rendering it_.
|
|
|
|
**Why not use a prop like React's `dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: content }}`?**
|
|
|
|
Rendering a string of HTML (or Markdown) is an extremely common use case when rendering a static site and you probably don't need the extra hoops to jump through. Rendering untrusted content is always dangerous! Be sure to _santize your content **before** rendering it_.
