MDX and React Components​

MDX can make your documentation more interactive and allows using any React components inside Markdown:

export const Highlight = ({children, color}) => (
  <span
    style={{
      backgroundColor: color,
      borderRadius: '20px',
      color: '#fff',
      padding: '10px',
      cursor: 'pointer',
    }}
    onClick={() => {
      alert(`You clicked the color ${color} with label ${children}`)
    }}>
    {children}
  </span>
);

This is <Highlight color="#5a2fba">WM Violet green</Highlight> !

This is <Highlight color="#d42e58">WM Cerise</Highlight> !

This is WM Violet !

This is WM Cerise !

This is WM Salamander !
