Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Display math expressions with KaTeX and React

Installation

  $ npm install react-katex
  # or
  $ yarn add react-katex

Usage

import 'katex/dist/katex.min.css';
import { InlineMath, BlockMath } from 'react-katex';

InlineMath

Display math in the middle of the text.

  var InlineMath = ReactKaTeX.InlineMath;

  ReactDOM.render(<InlineMath math="\\int_0^\\infty x^2 dx"/>,
                document.getElementById('math'));

  // or

  ReactDOM.render(<InlineMath>\int_0^\infty x^2 dx</InlineMath>,
                document.getElementById('math'));

It will be rendered like this:

Inline math

BlockMath

Display math in a separated block, with larger font and symbols.

  var BlockMath = ReactKaTeX.BlockMath;

  ReactDOM.render(<BlockMath math="\\int_0^\\infty x^2 dx"/>,
                document.getElementById('math'));

  // or

  ReactDOM.render(<BlockMath>\int_0^\infty x^2 dx</BlockMath>,
                document.getElementById('math'));

It will be rendered like this:

Block math

Note: Don't forget to import KaTeX CSS file.

import 'katex/dist/katex.min.css';

Error handling

Default error message

By default the error rendering is handled by KaTeX. You can optionally pass errorColor (defaults to #cc0000) as a prop:

var BlockMath = ReactKaTeX.BlockMath;

ReactDOM.render(
  <BlockMath
    math={'\\int_0^\\infty x^2 dx \\inta'}
    errorColor={'#cc0000'}
  />, document.getElementById('math'));

This will be rendered like so:

KaTeX error

Custom error message

It's possible to handle parse errors using the prop renderError. This prop must be a function that receives the error object and returns what should be rendered when parsing fails:

var BlockMath = ReactKaTeX.BlockMath;
  
ReactDOM.render(
  <BlockMath
    math="\\int_{"
    renderError={(error) => {
      return <b>Fail: {error.name}</b>
    }}
  />,
  document.getElementById('math'));

// The code above will render '<b>Fail: ParseError</b>' because it's the value returned from `renderError`.

This will render <b>Fail: ParseError</b>:

renderError

Escaping expressions

In addition to using the math property, you can also quote as a child allowing the use of { } in your expression.

ReactDOM.render(<BlockMath>{"\\frac{\\text{m}}{\\text{s}^2}"}</BlockMath>,
                document.getElementById('math'));

Or Multiline

ReactDOM.render(<BlockMath>{`\\frac{\\text{m}}
{\\text{s}^2}`}</BlockMath>,
                document.getElementById('math'));

However, it can be annoying to escape backslashes. This can be circumvented with the String.raw tag on a template literal when using ES6.

ReactDOM.render(<BlockMath>{String.raw`\frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}`}</BlockMath>,
                document.getElementById('math'));

Backticks must be escaped with a backslash but would be passed to KaTeX as \`. A tag can be created to replace \` with `

const latex = (...a) => String.raw(...a).replace("\\`","`")
ReactDOM.render(<BlockMath>{latex`\``}</BlockMath>,
                document.getElementById('math'));

You can even do variable substitution

const top = "m";
const bottom = "s";
ReactDOM.render(<BlockMath>{String.raw`\frac{\text{${top}}}{\text{${bottom}}^2}`}</BlockMath>,
                document.getElementById('math'));
