## Install

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

```sh
npm install micromark-factory-mdx-expression
```

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

```js
import {factoryMdxExpression} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-factory-mdx-expression@2'
```

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

```html
<script type="module">
  import {factoryMdxExpression} from 'https://esm.sh/micromark-factory-mdx-expression@2?bundle'
</script>
```

## Use

```js
import {ok as assert} from 'devlop'
import {factoryMdxExpression} from 'micromark-factory-mdx-expression'
import {codes} from 'micromark-util-symbol'

// A micromark tokenizer that uses the factory:
/** @type {Tokenizer} */
function tokenizeFlowExpression(effects, ok, nok) {
  return start

  // …

  /** @type {State} */
  function start(code) {
    assert(code === codes.leftCurlyBrace, 'expected `{`')
    return factoryMdxExpression.call(
      self,
      effects,
      factorySpace(effects, after, types.whitespace),
      'mdxFlowExpression',
      'mdxFlowExpressionMarker',
      'mdxFlowExpressionChunk',
      acorn,
      acornOptions,
      addResult,
      spread,
      allowEmpty
    )(code)
  }

  // …
}
```

## API

This module exports the identifier
[`factoryMdxExpression`][api-factory-mdx-expression].
There is no default export.

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

### `factoryMdxExpression(…)`

###### Parameters

* `effects` (`Effects`)
  — context
* `ok` (`State`)
  — state switched to when successful
* `type` (`string`)
  — token type for whole (`{}`)
* `markerType` (`string`)
  — token type for the markers (`{`, `}`)
* `chunkType` (`string`)
  — token type for the value (`1`)
* `acorn` (`Acorn`)
  — object with `acorn.parse` and `acorn.parseExpressionAt`
* `acornOptions` ([`AcornOptions`][acorn-options])
  — configuration for acorn
* `boolean` (`addResult`, default: `false`)
  — add `estree` to token
* `boolean` (`spread`, default: `false`)
  — support a spread (`{...a}`) only
* `boolean` (`allowEmpty`, default: `false`)
  — support an empty expression
* `boolean` (`allowLazy`, default: `false`)
  — support lazy continuation of an expression

###### Returns

`State`.

## Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional types [`Acorn`][acorn] and
[`AcornOptions`][acorn-options].

## Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line,
`micromark-factory-mdx-expression@^2`, compatible with Node.js 16.

This package works with `micromark` version `3` and later.

## Security

This package is safe.
