What is @mdx-js/loader?

@mdx-js/loader is a webpack loader for MDX, which allows you to import and use .mdx files as React components. MDX is a format that lets you seamlessly write JSX in your Markdown documents. This package is particularly useful for integrating MDX into your React projects, enabling you to leverage the power of React components within your Markdown content.

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

Importing MDX files as React components

This feature allows you to import MDX files as React components, enabling you to use JSX syntax within your Markdown files. The code sample demonstrates how to configure webpack to use @mdx-js/loader and how to use an MDX file within a React component.

```javascript
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.mdx?$/,
        use: [
          'babel-loader',
          '@mdx-js/loader'
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
};

// example.mdx
export const MyComponent = () => <div>Hello, MDX!</div>;

# Hello, world!

<MyComponent />

// App.js
import React from 'react';
import MDXContent from './example.mdx';

const App = () => (
  <div>
    <MDXContent />
  </div>
);

export default App;
```

Customizing MDX components

This feature allows you to customize MDX components by importing and using your own React components within MDX files. The code sample shows how to import a custom React component into an MDX file and use it within the Markdown content.

```javascript
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.mdx?$/,
        use: [
          'babel-loader',
          '@mdx-js/loader'
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
};

// example.mdx
import { MyCustomComponent } from './MyCustomComponent';

# Hello, world!

<MyCustomComponent />

// MyCustomComponent.js
import React from 'react';

export const MyCustomComponent = () => <div>Custom Component Content</div>;

// App.js
import React from 'react';
import MDXContent from './example.mdx';

const App = () => (
  <div>
    <MDXContent />
  </div>
);

export default App;
```
