mdast extensions to parse and serialize MDX: ESM, JSX, and expressions.
This package contains two extensions that add support for MDX syntax in markdown to mdast: ESM (import x from 'y'
), JSX (<a />
), and expressions ({Math.PI}
). These extensions plug into mdast-util-from-markdown
(to support parsing MDX in markdown into a syntax tree) and mdast-util-to-markdown
(to support serializing MDX in syntax trees to markdown).
You can use these extensions when you are working with mdast-util-from-markdown
and mdast-util-to-markdown
already.
When working with mdast-util-from-markdown
, you must combine this package with micromark-extension-mdx
or micromark-extension-mdxjs
.
Instead of this package, you can also use the extensions separately:
mdast-util-mdx-expression
— support MDX expressionsmdast-util-mdx-jsx
— support MDX JSXmdast-util-mdxjs-esm
— support MDX ESMAll these packages are used in remark-mdx
, which focusses on making it easier to transform content by abstracting these internals away.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install mdast-util-mdx
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {mdxFromMarkdown, mdxToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-mdx@3'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module"> import {mdxFromMarkdown, mdxToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-mdx@3?bundle' </script>
Say our document example.mdx
contains:
import Box from "place" Here’s an expression: { 1 + 1 /* } */ } Which you can also put inline: {1+1}. <Box> <SmallerBox> - Lists, which can be indented. </SmallerBox> </Box>
…and our module example.js
looks as follows:
import fs from 'node:fs/promises' import {mdxjs} from 'micromark-extension-mdxjs' import {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown' import {mdxFromMarkdown, mdxToMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-mdx' import {toMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-to-markdown' const doc = await fs.readFile('example.mdx') const tree = fromMarkdown(doc, { extensions: [mdxjs()], mdastExtensions: [mdxFromMarkdown()] }) console.log(tree) const out = toMarkdown(tree, {extensions: [mdxToMarkdown()]}) console.log(out)
…now running node example.js
yields (positional info removed for brevity):
{ type: 'root', children: [ { type: 'mdxjsEsm', value: 'import Box from "place"', data: { estree: { type: 'Program', body: [ { type: 'ImportDeclaration', specifiers: [ { type: 'ImportDefaultSpecifier', local: {type: 'Identifier', name: 'Box'} } ], source: {type: 'Literal', value: 'place', raw: '"place"'} } ], sourceType: 'module' } } }, { type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Here’s an expression:'}] }, { type: 'mdxFlowExpression', value: '\n1 + 1 /* } */\n', data: { estree: { type: 'Program', body: [ { type: 'ExpressionStatement', expression: { type: 'BinaryExpression', left: {type: 'Literal', value: 1, raw: '1'}, operator: '+', right: {type: 'Literal', value: 1, raw: '1'} } } ], sourceType: 'module' } } }, { type: 'paragraph', children: [ {type: 'text', value: 'Which you can also put inline: '}, { type: 'mdxTextExpression', value: '1+1', data: { estree: { type: 'Program', body: [ { type: 'ExpressionStatement', expression: { type: 'BinaryExpression', left: {type: 'Literal', value: 1, raw: '1'}, operator: '+', right: {type: 'Literal', value: 1, raw: '1'} } } ], sourceType: 'module' } } }, {type: 'text', value: '.'} ] }, { type: 'mdxJsxFlowElement', name: 'Box', attributes: [], children: [ { type: 'mdxJsxFlowElement', name: 'SmallerBox', attributes: [], children: [ { type: 'list', ordered: false, start: null, spread: false, children: [ { type: 'listItem', spread: false, checked: null, children: [ { type: 'paragraph', children: [ {type: 'text', value: 'Lists, which can be indented.'} ] } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] }
import Box from "place" Here’s an expression: { 1 + 1 /* } */ } Which you can also put inline: {1+1}. <Box> <SmallerBox> * Lists, which can be indented. </SmallerBox> </Box>
This package exports the identifiers mdxFromMarkdown
and mdxToMarkdown
. There is no default export.

Configuration (TypeScript type).
quote
('"'
or "'"
, default: '"'
) — preferred quote to use around attribute valuesquoteSmart
(boolean
, default: false
) — use the other quote if that results in less bytestightSelfClosing
(boolean
, default: false
) — do not use an extra space when closing self-closing elements: <img/>
instead of <img />
printWidth
(number
, default: Infinity
) — try and wrap syntax at this width. When set to a finite number (say, 80
), the formatter will print attributes on separate lines when a tag doesn’t fit on one line. The normal behavior is to print attributes with spaces between them instead of line endingsMDX has no representation in HTML. Though, when you are dealing with MDX, you will likely go through hast. You can enable passing MDX through to hast by configuring mdast-util-to-hast
with passThrough: ['mdxjsEsm', 'mdxFlowExpression', 'mdxJsxFlowElement', 'mdxJsxTextElement', 'mdxTextExpression']
.

This utility combines several mdast utilities. See their readmes for the node types supported in the tree:
mdast-util-mdx-expression
— support MDX expressionsmdast-util-mdx-jsx
— support MDX JSXmdast-util-mdxjs-esm
— support MDX ESMThis package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional types MdxFlowExpression
and MdxTextExpression
from mdast-util-mdx-expression
; MdxJsxAttribute
, MdxJsxAttributeValueExpression
, MdxJsxExpressionAttribute
, MdxJsxFlowElement
, MdxJsxTextElement
, and ToMarkdownOptions
from mdast-util-mdx-jsx
; and MdxjsEsm
from mdast-util-mdxjs-esm
.
It also registers the node types with @types/mdast
and @types/hast
. If you’re working with the syntax tree, make sure to import this utility somewhere in your types, as that registers the new node types in the tree.
/** * @typedef {import('mdast-util-mdx')} */ import {visit} from 'unist-util-visit' /** @type {import('mdast').Root} */ const tree = getMdastNodeSomeHow() visit(tree, function (node) { // `node` can now be an expression, JSX, or ESM node. })
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, mdast-util-mdx@^3
, compatible with Node.js 16.
This utility works with mdast-util-from-markdown
version 2+ and mdast-util-to-markdown
version 2+.
