# HTMDX: Lightweight runtime for mdx-like markdown

build badge [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/htmdx)

This library is an attempt to provide a runtime to compile [mdx](https://github.com/mdx-js/mdx)-like markdown files (with the goal to support full JSX inside of markdown) using [htm](https://github.com/developit/htm) + [marked](https://github.com/markedjs/marked) that is much smaller in file-size as opposed to the official runtime (which we are not encouraged to use on actual websites).

[Here is a simple example playground using HTMDX](https://michael-klein.github.io/htmdx/example/dist/index.html)

## Usage

Simple example:

```javascript
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { htmdx } from 'htmdx';
import * as Prism from 'prismjs';

function SomeComponent() {
return 'something';
}

const markDownWithJSX = `
# Hello World

Mardown will be interpreted as tagged templates from htm:
{this.setState({inputValue:e.target.value});console.log(e.target.value)}}/>
We're also using the setState method and state property passed into using the thisValue options (see below)

With the transformJSXToHTM option enabled, you may also use normal brackets:
this.setState({inputValue:e.target.value})}/>

Here's some code with code highlighting:
\`\`\`
function SomeComponent() {
return "Some component ouput.";
}
\`\`\`
`;

function App() {
const [state, setState] = React.useState({});

return htmdx(
markDownWithJSX,
React.createElement, // provide a h function. You can also use HTMDX with preact or any other library that supports the format
{
components: { SomeComponent }, // provide components that will be available in markdown files,
configureMarked: (
marked // configure the underlying marked parser, e.x.: to add code highlighting:
) =>
marked.setOptions({
highlight: function(code) {
return Prism.highlight(
code,
Prism.languages.javascript,
'javascript'
).replace(/\n/g, '
');
},
}),
transformClassToClassname: true, // transforms class="some-class" to className="some-class" (default: true)
transformJSXToHTM: true, // transforms some JSX to htm template literal syntax (such as value={} to value=${}) (default: true)
thisValue: {
// the this value passed to the compiled JSX
state,
setState: newState => setState(Object.assign({}, state, newState)),
},
}
);
}

ReactDOM.render(React.createElement(App), document.getElementById('root'));
```

### Pluggable MDX transforms

You can supply MDX transforms, which will be applied to mdx strings before anything else:

```javascript
htmdx('# Hello World', React.createElement, {
mdxTransforms: [m => m.replace('# Hello World', '# foo')], // will replace # Hello world with # foo
})
```

### Pluggable JSX transforms

You can supply JSX transforms which allow you to apply further transforms before the JSX pragma runs, like so:

```javascript
htmdx('# Hello World', React.createElement, {
jsxTransforms: [
(props, type, children) => {
if (children && children[0] === 'Hello World') {
children[0] = 'Foo'; // this will output

Foo

instead of

Hello World

now!
}
return [props, type, children];
},
],
})
```

### Overwriting normal generated html elements with components:

You can also provide components for basic html elements that are generated by the markdown compiler:

```javascript
htmdx("# Hello World", React.createElement, {
components: {
TestComponent,
h1: props =>
html`

${props.children}


`,
}
})
```
