mdast extensions to parse and serialize MDX JSX (<a />
).
This package contains two extensions that add support for MDX JSX syntax in markdown to mdast. These extensions plug into mdast-util-from-markdown
(to support parsing JSX in markdown into a syntax tree) and mdast-util-to-markdown
(to support serializing JSX in syntax trees to markdown).
JSX is an XML-like syntax extension to ECMAScript (JavaScript), which MDX brings to markdown. For more info on MDX, see What is MDX?
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-jsx
.
When you are working with syntax trees and want all of MDX, use mdast-util-mdx
instead.
All 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-jsx
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {mdxJsxFromMarkdown, mdxJsxToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-mdx-jsx@3'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module"> import {mdxJsxFromMarkdown, mdxJsxToMarkdown} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-mdx-jsx@3?bundle' </script>
Say our document example.mdx
contains:
<Box> - a list </Box> <MyComponent {...props} /> <abbr title="Hypertext Markup Language">HTML</abbr> is a lovely language.
…and our module example.js
looks as follows:
import fs from 'node:fs/promises' import * as acorn from 'acorn' import {mdxJsx} from 'micromark-extension-mdx-jsx' import {fromMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-from-markdown' import {mdxJsxFromMarkdown, mdxJsxToMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-mdx-jsx' import {toMarkdown} from 'mdast-util-to-markdown' const doc = await fs.readFile('example.mdx') const tree = fromMarkdown(doc, { extensions: [mdxJsx({acorn, addResult: true})], mdastExtensions: [mdxJsxFromMarkdown()] }) console.log(tree) const out = toMarkdown(tree, {extensions: [mdxJsxToMarkdown()]}) console.log(out)
…now running node example.js
yields (positional info removed for brevity):
{ type: 'root', children: [ { type: 'mdxJsxFlowElement', name: 'Box', attributes: [], children: [ { type: 'list', ordered: false, start: null, spread: false, children: [ { type: 'listItem', spread: false, checked: null, children: [ {type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'a list'}]} ] } ] } ] }, { type: 'mdxJsxFlowElement', name: 'MyComponent', attributes: [ { type: 'mdxJsxExpressionAttribute', value: '...props', data: { estree: { type: 'Program', body: [ { type: 'ExpressionStatement', expression: { type: 'ObjectExpression', properties: [ { type: 'SpreadElement', argument: {type: 'Identifier', name: 'props'} } ] } } ], sourceType: 'module' } } } ], children: [] }, { type: 'paragraph', children: [ { type: 'mdxJsxTextElement', name: 'abbr', attributes: [ { type: 'mdxJsxAttribute', name: 'title', value: 'Hypertext Markup Language' } ], children: [{type: 'text', value: 'HTML'}] }, {type: 'text', value: ' is a lovely language.'} ] } ] }
<Box> * a list </Box> <MyComponent {...props} /> <abbr title="Hypertext Markup Language">HTML</abbr> is a lovely language.
This package exports the identifiers mdxJsxFromMarkdown
and mdxJsxToMarkdown
. There is no default export.

When using the micromark syntax extension with addResult
, nodes will have a data.estree
field set to an ESTree Program
node.

MdxJsxAttributeValueExpression
MDX JSX attribute value set to an expression (TypeScript type).
import type {Program} from 'estree-jsx' import type {Literal} from 'mdast' interface MdxJsxAttributeValueExpression extends Literal { type: 'mdxJsxAttributeValueExpression' data?: {estree?: Program | null | undefined} & Literal['data'] }
MdxJsxExpressionAttribute
MDX JSX attribute as an expression (TypeScript type).

, but registered with @types/hast
(TypeScript type).

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 JSX has no representation in HTML. Though, when you are dealing with MDX, you will likely go through hast. You can enable passing MDX JSX through to hast by configuring mdast-util-to-hast
with passThrough: ['mdxJsxFlowElement', 'mdxJsxTextElement']
.

The following interfaces are added to mdast by this utility.
interface MdxJsxFlowElement <: Parent { type: 'mdxJsxFlowElement' } MdxJsxFlowElement includes MdxJsxElement
MdxJsxFlowElement (Parent) represents JSX in flow (block). It can be used where flow content is expected. It includes the mixin MdxJsxElement.
For example, the following markdown:
Yields:
{ type: 'mdxJsxFlowElement', name: 'w', attributes: [{type: 'mdxJsxAttribute', name: 'x', value: 'y'}], children: [{type: 'paragraph', children: [{type: 'text', value: 'z'}]}] }
interface MdxJsxTextElement <: Parent { type: 'mdxJsxTextElement' } MdxJsxTextElement includes MdxJsxElement
MdxJsxTextElement (Parent) represents JSX in text (span, inline). It can be used where phrasing content is expected. It includes the mixin MdxJsxElement.
For example, the following markdown:
Yields:
{ type: 'mdxJsxTextElement', name: 'b', attributes: [{type: 'mdxJsxAttribute', name: 'c', value: null}], children: [{type: 'text', value: 'd'}] }
interface mixin MdxJsxElement { name: string? attributes: [MdxJsxExpressionAttribute | MdxJsxAttribute] } interface MdxJsxExpressionAttribute <: Literal { type: 'mdxJsxExpressionAttribute' } interface MdxJsxAttribute <: Node { type: 'mdxJsxAttribute' name: string value: MdxJsxAttributeValueExpression | string? } interface MdxJsxAttributeValueExpression <: Literal { type: 'mdxJsxAttributeValueExpression' }
MdxJsxElement represents a JSX element.
The name
field can be present and represents an identifier. Without name
, the element represents a fragment, in which case no attributes must be present.
The attributes
field represents information associated with the node. The value of the attributes
field is a list of MdxJsxExpressionAttribute and MdxJsxAttribute nodes.
MdxJsxExpressionAttribute represents an expression (typically in a programming language) that when evaluated results in multiple attributes.
MdxJsxAttribute represents a single attribute. The name
field must be present. The value
field can be present, in which case it is either a string (a static value) or an expression (typically in a programming language) that when evaluated results in an attribute value.
type MdxJsxFlowContent = MdxJsxFlowElement | FlowContent
PhrasingContent
(MDX JSX)
type MdxJsxPhrasingContent = MdxJsxTextElement | PhrasingContent
This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional types MdxJsxAttribute
, MdxJsxAttributeValueExpression
, MdxJsxExpressionAttribute
, MdxJsxFlowElement
, MdxJsxFlowElementHast
, MdxJsxTextElement
, MdxJsxTextElementHast
, and ToMarkdownOptions
.
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.
/** * @import {} from 'mdast-util-mdx-jsx' * @import {Root} from 'mdast' */ import {visit} from 'unist-util-visit' /** @type {Root} */ const tree = getMdastNodeSomeHow() visit(tree, function (node) { // `node` can now be one of the JSX nodes. })
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-jsx@3
, compatible with Node.js 16.
This utility works with mdast-util-from-markdown
version 2+ and mdast-util-to-markdown
version 2+.
