@astrojs/mdx 📝
This Astro integration enables the usage of MDX components and allows you to create pages as .mdx files.
Why MDX?
MDX allows you to use variables, JSX expressions and components within Markdown content in Astro. If you have existing content authored in MDX, this integration allows you to bring those files to your Astro project.
Installation
Quick Install
The astro add command-line tool automates the installation for you. Run one of the following commands in a new terminal window. (If you aren't sure which package manager you're using, run the first command.) Then, follow the prompts, and type "y" in the terminal (meaning "yes") for each one.
# Using NPM
npx astro add mdx
# Using Yarn
yarn astro add mdx
# Using PNPM
pnpm astro add mdx
If you run into any issues, feel free to report them to us on GitHub and try the manual installation steps below.
Manual Install
First, install the @astrojs/mdx package using your package manager. If you're using npm or aren't sure, run this in the terminal:
npm install @astrojs/mdx
Then, apply this integration to your astro.config.* file using the integrations property:
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
export default defineConfig({
// ...
integrations: [mdx()],
});
Editor Integration
VS Code supports Markdown by default. However, for MDX editor support, you may wish to add the following setting in your VSCode config. This ensures authoring MDX files provides a Markdown-like editor experience.
"files.associations": {
"*.mdx": "markdown"
}
Usage
With the Astro MDX integration, you can add MDX pages to your project by adding .mdx files within your src/pages/ directory. You can also import .mdx files into .astro files.
Astro's MDX integration adds extra features to standard MDX, including Markdown-style frontmatter. This allows you to use most of Astro's built-in Markdown features like a special frontmatter layout property and a property for marking a page as a draft.
See how MDX works in Astro with examples in our Markdown & MDX guide.
Visit the MDX docs to learn about using standard MDX features.
Configuration
Once the MDX integration is installed, no configuration is necessary to use .mdx files in your Astro project.
You can configure how your MDX is rendered with the following options:
Options inherited from Markdown config
All markdown configuration options except drafts can be configured separately in the MDX integration. This includes remark and rehype plugins, syntax highlighting, and more. Options will default to those in your Markdown config (see the extendMarkdownConfig option to modify this).
:::note There is no separate MDX configuration for including pages marked as draft in the build. This Markdown setting will be respected by both Markdown and MDX files and cannot be overridden for MDX files specifically. :::
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
import remarkToc from 'remark-toc';
import rehypeMinifyHtml from 'rehype-minify-html';
export default defineConfig({
integrations: [
mdx({
remarkPlugins: [exampleRemarkPlugin],
}),
],
});
…every MDX file will have customProperty in its frontmatter! See our Markdown documentation for more usage instructions and a reading time plugin example.
Layouts
Layouts can be applied in the same way as standard Astro Markdown. You can add a layout to your frontmatter like so:
---
layout: '../layouts/BaseLayout.astro'
title: 'My Blog Post'
---
Then, you can retrieve all other frontmatter properties from your layout via the frontmatter property, and render your MDX using the default <slot />. See layout props for a complete list of props available.
---
const { frontmatter, url } = Astro.props;
---
<html>
<head>
<meta rel="canonical" href={new URL(url, Astro.site).pathname}>
<title>{frontmatter.title}</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>{frontmatter.title}</h1>
<!-- Rendered MDX will be passed into the default slot. -->
<slot />
</body>
</html>
You can set a layout’s Props type with the MDXLayoutProps helper.
:::note
MDXLayoutProps is the same as the MarkdownLayoutProps utility type with rawContent() and compiledContent() removed (since these are not available for .mdx files). Feel free to use MarkdownLayoutProps instead when sharing a layout across .md and .mdx files.
:::
📚 See the Markdown Options reference for a complete list of options.
extendMarkdownConfig
- Type:
boolean - Default:
true
MDX will extend your project's existing Markdown configuration by default. To override individual options, you can specify their equivalent in your MDX configuration.
For example, say you need to disable GitHub-Flavored Markdown and apply a different set of remark plugins for MDX files. You can apply these options like so, with extendMarkdownConfig enabled by default:
<blockquote>
<p>A blockquote with <em>some</em> emphasis.</p>
</blockquote>
But what if you want to specify your own markup for these blockquotes? In the above example, you could create a custom <Blockquote /> component (in any language) that either has a <slot /> component or accepts a children prop.
---
const props = Astro.props;
---
<blockquote {...props} class="bg-blue-50 p-4">
<span class="text-4xl text-blue-600 mb-2">“</span>
<slot />
</blockquote>
Then in the MDX file you import the component and export it to the components export.
import Blockquote from '../components/Blockquote.astro';
export const components = { blockquote: Blockquote };
Now, writing the standard Markdown blockquote syntax (>) will use your custom <Blockquote /> component instead. No need to use a component in Markdown, or write a remark/rehype plugin! Visit the MDX website for a full list of HTML elements that can be overwritten as custom components.
Custom components with imported mdx
When rendering imported MDX content, custom components can be passed via the components prop.
Note: An MDX file's exported components will not be used unless you manually import and pass them via the components property. See the example below:
---
import { Content, components } from '../content.mdx';
import Heading from '../Heading.astro';
---
<Content components={{...components, h1: Heading }} />
Syntax highlighting
The MDX integration respects your project's markdown.syntaxHighlight configuration.
We will highlight your code blocks with Shiki by default. You can customize this highlighter using the markdown.shikiConfig option in your astro.config. For example, you can apply a different built-in theme like so:
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
export default defineConfig({
markdown: {
shikiConfig: {
theme: 'dracula',
},
},
integrations: [mdx()],
});
Visit our Shiki configuration docs for more on using Shiki with Astro.
Switch to Prism
You can also use the Prism syntax highlighter by setting markdown.syntaxHighlight to 'prism' in your astro.config like so:
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
export default defineConfig({
markdown: {
syntaxHighlight: 'prism',
remarkPlugins: [remarkPlugin1],
gfm: true,
},
integrations: [mdx()],
});
This applies a minimal Prism renderer with added support for astro code blocks. Visit our "Prism configuration" docs for more on using Prism with Astro.
Switch to a custom syntax highlighter
You may want to apply your own syntax highlighter too. If your highlighter offers a remark or rehype plugin, you can flip off our syntax highlighting by setting markdown.syntaxHighlight: false and wiring up your plugin. For example, say you want to apply Shiki Twoslash's remark plugin:
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
import shikiTwoslash from 'remark-shiki-twoslash';
export default defineConfig({
markdown: {
syntaxHighlight: false,
},
integrations: [
mdx({
remarkPlugins: [shikiTwoslash, { /* Shiki Twoslash config */ }],
})
],
});
Configuration
remarkPlugins
Remark plugins allow you to extend your Markdown with new capabilities. This includes auto-generating a table of contents, applying accessible emoji labels, and more. We encourage you to browse awesome-remark for a full curated list!
This example applies the remark-toc plugin to .mdx files. To customize plugin inheritance from your Markdown config or Astro's defaults, see the extendPlugins option.
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
import remarkToc from 'remark-toc';
export default defineConfig({
integrations: [mdx({
remarkPlugins: [remarkToc],
})],
});
rehypePlugins
Rehype plugins allow you to transform the HTML that your Markdown generates. We encourage you to browse awesome-rehype for a full curated list of plugins!
We apply our own (non-removable) collect-headings plugin. This applies IDs to all headings (i.e. h1 -> h6) in your MDX files to link to headings via anchor tags.
This example applies the rehype-minify plugin to .mdx files. To customize plugin inheritance from your Markdown config or Astro's defaults, see the extendPlugins option.
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
import rehypeMinifyHtml from 'rehype-minify';
export default defineConfig({
integrations: [mdx({
rehypePlugins: [rehypeMinifyHtml],
})],
});
extendPlugins
Type: 'markdown' | 'astroDefaults' | false
Default: 'markdown'
markdown (default)
By default, Astro inherits all remark and rehype plugins from the markdown option in your Astro config. This also respects the markdown.extendDefaultPlugins option to extend Astro's defaults. Any additional plugins you apply in your MDX config will be applied after your configured Markdown plugins.
This example applies remark-toc to Markdown and MDX, and rehype-minify to MDX alone:
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
import remarkToc from 'remark-toc';
import rehypeMinify from 'rehype-minify';
export default defineConfig({
markdown: {
// Applied to .md and .mdx files
remarkPlugins: [remarkToc],
},
integrations: [mdx({
// Applied to .mdx files only
rehypePlugins: [rehypeMinify],
})],
});
You may also need to disable markdown config extension in MDX. For this, set extendMarkdownConfig to false:
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
import remarkToc from 'remark-toc';
export default defineConfig({
markdown: {
remarkPlugins: [remarkPlugin1],
},
integrations: [mdx({
remarkPlugins: [remarkToc],
// Astro defaults applied
extendPlugins: 'astroDefaults',
})],
});
false
If you don't want to extend any plugins, set extendPlugins to false:
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
import remarkToc from 'remark-toc';
export default defineConfig({
integrations: [mdx({
remarkPlugins: [remarkToc],
// Astro defaults not applied
extendPlugins: false,
})],
});
recmaPlugins
These are plugins that modify the output estree directly. This is useful for modifying or injecting JavaScript variables in your MDX files.
We suggest using AST Explorer to play with estree outputs, and trying estree-util-visit for searching across JavaScript nodes.
remarkRehype
Markdown content is transformed into HTML through remark-rehype which has a number of options.
You can use remark-rehype options in your MDX integration config file like so:
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import mdx from '@astrojs/mdx';
export default defineConfig({
integrations: [mdx({
remarkRehype: {
footnoteLabel: 'Catatan kaki',
footnoteBackLabel: 'Kembali ke konten',
},
})],
});
This inherits the configuration of markdown.remarkRehype. This behavior can be changed by configuring extendPlugins.
