Configuration

1. Sandpack component

All props will pass to Sandpack directly, except files.

<Sandpack
  theme={theme}
  template="react"
  customSetup={{
    dependencies: {
      react: "17.0.2",
      "react-dom": "17.0.2",
      "react-scripts": "4.0.0",
    },
  }}
>
// markdown code blocks...
</Sandpack>

2. Code Blocks

All code blocks contained within <Sandpack>/Sandpack> will be parsed and passed to <Sandpack>/Sandpack> as file props. 

That means you can define file property in code block meta.

<Sandpack>
```js src/index.js active readOnly
console.log('Hello Sandpack')
```

```js src/hidden.js hidden
console.log('I'm hidden')
```
</Sandpack>

Code above will transform into:

<Sandpack
  files={{
    "src/index.js": {
      code: `console.log('Hello Sandpack')`,
      active: true,
      readOnly: true,
    },
    "src/hidden.js": { 
      code: `console.log('I'm hidden')`, 
      hidden: true 
    },
  }}
/>;

Advance Useage

Custom Sandpack component

remark-sandpack will parse <Sandpack></Sandpack> jsx statements in your MDX files. If your custom sandpack component uses a different name, such as SandpackEnhanced. For instance:

// in your mdx config
remarkPlugins: [[remarkSandpack, { componentName: 'SandpackEnhanced' }]],

Additionally, you can pass an array of component names if you want to support multiple components. For instance:

// in your mdx config
remarkPlugins: [[remarkSandpack, { componentName: ['SandpackEnhanced', 'AnotherSandpackComponent'] }]],

This configuration allows you to use either SandpackEnhanced or AnotherSandpackComponent in your MDX files.

// in your MDX file

import SandpackEnhanced from 'your-component-path'
import AnotherSandpackComponent from 'another-component-path'

<SandpackEnhanced>
// code blocks for SandpackEnhanced
</SandpackEnhanced>

<AnotherSandpackComponent>
// code blocks for AnotherSandpackComponent
</AnotherSandpackComponent>

By passing an array, you can utilize multiple custom sandpack components within your MDX files.

Make sure your custom sandpack component receive files prop.
