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 !
