@docusaurus/mdx-loader

What is @docusaurus/mdx-loader?

@docusaurus/mdx-loader is a webpack loader for MDX (Markdown with JSX) files, specifically designed to work with Docusaurus, a static site generator. It allows you to write content in Markdown and embed React components within that content.

What are @docusaurus/mdx-loader's main functionalities?

Loading MDX files

This feature allows you to load and process MDX files using webpack. The loader converts MDX content into React components, enabling you to use Markdown and JSX together.

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.mdx?$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: '@docusaurus/mdx-loader',
            options: {
              // Options for the loader
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Customizing MDX processing

This feature allows you to customize the MDX processing by adding remark and rehype plugins. In this example, the loader is configured to use 'remark-math' and 'rehype-katex' plugins for rendering mathematical expressions.

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.mdx?$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: '@docusaurus/mdx-loader',
            options: {
              remarkPlugins: [require('remark-math')],
              rehypePlugins: [require('rehype-katex')],
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};
