@mdx-js/node-loader
Node.js hooks (also knows as loaders) for MDX.
Contents
What is this?
This package contains Node.js hooks to add support for importing MDX files. Node Customization Hooks are currently a release candidate.
When should I use this?
This integration is useful if you’re using Node and want to import MDX files from the file system.
If you’re using a bundler (webpack, Rollup, esbuild), or a site builder (Next.js) or build system (Vite) which comes with a bundler, you can instead another integration: see § Integrations.
Install
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install @mdx-js/node-loader
Use
Say we have an MDX document, example.mdx
:
export function Thing() {
return <>World!</>
}
# Hello, <Thing />
…and our module example.js
looks as follows:
import {renderToStaticMarkup} from 'react-dom/server'
import React from 'react'
import Content from './example.mdx'
console.log(renderToStaticMarkup(React.createElement(Content)))
…then running with:
node --loader=@mdx-js/node-loader example.js
…yields:
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
Note: if you use Node 18 and lower, then you can ignore the following warning:
(node:20718) ExperimentalWarning: Custom ESM Loaders is an experimental feature and might change at any > time (Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
Note: if you use Node 20 and higher, then you get the following warning:
(node:20908) ExperimentalWarning: `--experimental-loader` may be removed in the future; instead use > `register()`: --import 'data:text/javascript,import { register } from "node:module"; import { pathToFileURL } from > "node:url"; register("%40mdx-js/node-loader", pathToFileURL("./"));'
You can solve that by adding a
register.js
file:import {register} from 'node:module' register('@mdx-js/node-loader', import.meta.url)
…and running
node --import ./register.js example.js
instead.
API
This package export the identifiers createLoader
and
load
.
There is no default export.
createLoader(options?)
Create Node.js hooks to handle markdown and MDX.
Parameters
options
(Options
, optional) — configuration
Returns
Node.js hooks ({load}
).
load
Load file:
URLs to MD(X) files.
See load
in Node.js docs for more info.
Options
Configuration (TypeScript type).
Options are the same as CompileOptions
from @mdx-js/mdx
exception that the development
option is supported based on whether you
run Node with --conditions development
.
You cannot pass it manually.
Types
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
It exports the additional type Options
.
See § Types on our website for information.
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, @mdx-js/node-loader@^3
,
compatible with Node.js 16.
