Syntax Highlighting in React Components

This code sample demonstrates how to use react-syntax-highlighter with TypeScript in a React component to highlight JavaScript code. It imports a specific syntax highlighting style and applies it to a code snippet.

import React from 'react';
import { Prism as SyntaxHighlighter } from 'react-syntax-highlighter';
import { dark } from 'react-syntax-highlighter/dist/esm/styles/prism';

Other packages similar to @types/react-syntax-highlighter

highlight.js

highlight.js is a popular syntax highlighter that supports many languages and can be used in web projects. Unlike react-syntax-highlighter, it is not specifically designed for React and does not provide React components out of the box. However, it can be integrated into React applications with custom components.

prismjs

prismjs is another syntax highlighting library that is similar to react-syntax-highlighter in that it supports a wide range of programming languages and styles. While react-syntax-highlighter uses prismjs under the hood for some of its functionality, prismjs can be used independently for more customized or lightweight syntax highlighting needs.
