Getting Started with MDX

MDX is a powerful format that lets you write JSX in your Markdown documents. This makes it possible to import and use React components within your content.

What is MDX?

MDX stands for Markdown + JSX. It allows you to:

• Write Markdown content naturally
• Import and use React components
• Create interactive documentation
• Build rich blog experiences

Key Features

Here are some key features of MDX:

1. Component Integration: Use React components directly in Markdown
2. Syntax Highlighting: Code blocks with proper highlighting
3. Frontmatter Support: YAML frontmatter for metadata
4. Table of Contents: Auto-generated navigation

Code Examples

Here's a simple JavaScript example:

function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

console.log(greet('World'));

And here's a TypeScript example:

interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  email: string;
}

function createUser(userData: Partial<User>): User {
  return {
    id: Math.random(),
    name: 'Anonymous',
    email: 'user@example.com',
    ...userData,
  };
}

Conclusion

MDX provides a great way to create rich, interactive content for technical blogs and documentation sites.
