@mapbox/babel-plugin-transform-jsxtreme-markdown

🚧 🚧 EXPERIMENTAL! WORK IN PROGRESS! 🚧 🚧

Transform Markdown interpolated with JS expressions and JSX elements into pure JSX, at compile time.

Uses jsxtreme-markdown to compile the interpolated Markdown.

For more information about jsxtreme-markdown features, read the README at the root of this monorepo.

Installation

npm install @mapbox/babel-plugin-transform-jsxtreme-markdown

Usage

Transforms a special tagged template literal.

require or import the (fake) package 'babel-plugin-transform-jsxtreme-markdown/md', or whatever you've specified as packageName in your Babel options. Then use that (fake) module's export as a template literal tag, marking the template literals you'd like to be compiled at run time.

If React is not already in the file's top-level scope, var React = require('react'); will be added to the beginning of the file.

// Input
const md = require('babel-plugin-transform-jsxtreme-markdown/md');
const foo = md`
  # Title
  This is **bold.**
  Here is a [link](/some/url).
`;

// Output
'use strict';

var React = require('react');
var foo = <div>
  <h1>Title</h1>
  <p>This is <strong>bold.</strong>
    Here is a <a href="/some/url">link</a>.</p>
</div>;

Because this plugin uses jsxtreme-markdown, you can also interpolate JS expressions and JSX elements within special delimiters. Read more about this in the jsxtreme-markdown docs.

// Input
import md from 'babel-plugin-transform-jsxtreme-markdown/md';
const text = md`
  This is a paragraph {{<span className="foo">}} with a **markdown** span inside {{</span>}}
  {{ <div style={{ margin: 70 }}> }}
    And here is a *paragraph* inside a div.
    [Link](/some/url)
  {{ </div> }}
`;

// Output
'use strict';

var React = require('react');
var text = <div>
  <p>This is a paragraph <span className="foo"> with a <strong>markdown</strong> span inside </span></p>
  <div style={{ margin: 70 }}>
    And here is a <em>paragraph</em> inside a div.
    <a href="/some/url">Link</a>
  </div>
</div>;
