@seihon/macro

Seihon【製本】(Bookbinding in Japanese) is a JavaScript toolkit that improves your MDX transformation pipeline. It allows you to quickly transform MDX documents into a collection (like turning codices into book).

More importantly, this toolkit is the last piece of the puzzle that enables code-splitted CMS-less MDX-based static site generation.

@seihon/macro is a babel-macro that transpiles collection<Item>('../example.collection.js') into require('../example.collection.js').

• It allows you to avoid using require directly in your code.

• Additionally, this gives you the ability to type check your Seihon collections.

Usage

This is an example of using @seihon/macro alone. For a complete example of the entire Seihon toolkit, please refer to the main README.md.

// src/components/home.jsx
import React from 'react';
import collection from '@seihon/macro';

const posts = collection('../content/posts/seihon.config.js');

export default function Blog() {
  return posts.map(({ postId, minRead }) => (
    <PostPreview postId={postId} minRead={minRead} />
  ));
}
