This is a remark plugin to automaticall transform javascript/jsx codeblocks through jscodeshift.

Usage

yarn add remark
yarn add remark-jscodeshift
remark -o --use remark-jscodeshift=transform:\"my-jscodeshift-transform.js\" File.md

Example

Let's say you have a markdown file with explanations on how to use a React component:

example.md

# My component

To use my component, you should do:

```jsx
import MyComponent from 'my-ui-kit/MyComponent'

<MyComponent />
```

Now, if your component API changes, or if the path of import has changed, and you have written a codemod to automatically do the change, you can also apply this codemod to the markdown docs.

Here the codemod automatically adds the attr prop with the value "value". my-jscodeshift-transform.js

const addPropToMyComponent = (file, api) => {
  const j = api.jscodeshift
  const root = j(file.source)

  root.find(j.JSXOpeningElement).forEach((path) => {
    path.node.attributes.push(
      j.jsxAttribute(j.jsxIdentifier("attr"), j.literal('value'))
    );
  });

  return root.toSource({ quote: 'single' })
}

module.exports = addPropToMyComponent;

With jscodeshift, you can already do:

jscodeshift -t my-jscodeshift-transform.js *.js

With this plugin, you can do:

remark -o --use remark-jscodeshift=transform:\"my-jscodeshift-transform.js\" Example.md

to automatically transform the code examples in you markdown files.

Here is the resulting diff on example.md:

- <MyComponent />
+ <MyComponent attr="value" />

This is particularly convenient when dealing with a large repository of markdown examples, for example if you are maintaining a styleguide with react-styleguidist.

Options

• transform: File path to the jscodeshift transform file
• allowNoLang: By default, remark-jscodeshift will only consider codeblocks whose language is js, javascript or jsx. By setting this option, it will also consider codeblocks with no language.
