rehype-mdx-component-wrapper

A rehype plugin to wrap the mdx component with external component

Installation

# If you are using yarn
yarn add @sup39/rehype-mdx-component-wrapper

# If you are using npm
npm install @sup39/rehype-mdx-component-wrapper

Configuration

property	type	description
`name`	`string`	Name of the wrapper component. Default value is `'MDXRoot'`
`path`	`string`	Path to the wrapper component. Default value is `'@/MDXRoot'`
`props`	`string[]`	Local variable names to be passed to the wrapper component. Default value is `[]`

Example Usage of Next.js

This plugin can be used to pass the metadata (frontmatter) parsed by remark-mdx-frontmatter to the wrapper component. For instance, you can use the metadata to create footer with author name for all mdx without explicitly writing JSX in the files.

Settings next.config.mjs

In next.config.mjs:

/*
  You may need to install remark-mdx-frontmatter
  $ yarn add remark-frontmatter remark-mdx-frontmatter
*/
import mdx from '@next/mdx';
import remarkFrontmatter from 'remark-frontmatter';
import remarkMdxFrontmatter from 'remark-mdx-frontmatter';
import ComponentWrapper from '@sup39/rehype-mdx-component-wrapper';

const withMDX = mdx({
  extension: /\.mdx?$/,
  options: {
    remarkPlugins: [
      remarkFrontmatter,
      // export all metadata into an object with name `meta`
      () => remarkMdxFrontmatter({name: 'meta'}),
    ],
    rehypePlugins: [() => ComponentWrapper({
      name: 'MDXRoot',
      path: '@/MDXRoot',
      // pass the exported `meta` object to the wrapper component
      props: ['meta'],
    })],
  },
});
export default withMDX({
  pageExtensions: ['ts', 'tsx', 'js', 'jsx', 'md', 'mdx'],
});

Setup Alias

In your tsconfig, add baseUrl and paths like the following to create alias.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["components/*"],
      // ...
    }
    // ...
  }
  // ...
}

Define a Wrapper Component

Define a wrapper component in components/. All props passed to the MDX file and the local exported variables with name in props are passed to the component as props.

For example, create file components/MDXRoot.tsx with the following contents:

import Head from 'next/head'

export default function MDXRoot({meta, children}: any) {
  return <>
    <Head>
      <title>{meta.title}</title>
      <meta name="description" content={meta.description} />
    </Head>
    {children}
    <footer>
       <div>Author: {meta.author}</div>
    </footer>
  </>;
}

Write mdx

---
title: YAML is enough to define metadata!
description: You can add other meta tags too :)
author: sup39
---

## No need to write JSX in all mdx files!

Result

The final output will roughly be:

<head>
  <title>YAML is enough to define metadata!</title>
  <meta name="description" content="You can add other meta tags too :)">
</head>
<h2>No need to write JSX in all mdx files!</h2>
<footer><div>Author: sup39</div></footer>
