My Favorite Way to Use Markdown in NextJS

Markdown is so nice for building fast, static pages. It has so many use cases too. Blog? Legal pages? Course content? Markdown or MDX (React components inside of markdown) got your back. This is by far the coolest way to use Markdown inside of your NextJS project I've ever seen.

Just wanted to share that I'm quite happy I came across your channel (when I was looking at NextJS 13 content a couple of days ago). You explain things quite well and clearly!

The algorithm is strong, I found your video while taking a break from implementing MDX in my NextJS app 😂 Went back, scrapped the whole thing and used your way which was much more simple and TYPE-SAFE!!!

Good Explanation.
I just want to know is there any way to add the mdx from db side ?
I mean I want to have a blog frontend and CMS to push new blogs.

npm i contentlayer rehype-autolink-headings rehype-pretty-code rehype-slug rehype remark-gfm shiki

Great content! Maybe you might also like the Nextra project. MDX + NextJS + Simple.

I've been using contentlayer since your video about ShadCN's Taxonomy project (that is where I found it) and I absolutely love it. By the way, do you have any similar Nextjs repos to recommend?

Hi josh, does contentlayer optimizes the images in the mdx using Next/Image?

[sunilnune]

Hey Josh, Do you have any Idea of Using MUI in Next Js 13.4?

[resxurrection]

can you share your vscode setup some time? specifically for nextjs

Great content. I am writing a blog website (i am new in coding) I just have a concern about plugins. This plugins can stop working?

[saman]

Thanks for awesome work mate, really appreciate it ❤

I recommend new ContentLayer+Notion combo for live remote update ! Manual mdx file updates suck

[nisabmohd]

Hi josh can u please tell the vs code theme youre using I really kinda like it

[Retrosen]

In the last part of declaring the components for the styling, could it be done with tailwind prose?

[akosbalint]

Is it working as well, if the content is not in mdx files but in a database?

[wilonweb]

I don't see the tutorial ... He talk about contentLayer ?

Thanks for the video. Regarding the type safety does content layer validate that the required fields are present in the front-matter of the .mdx files at build time? If not it would be pretty misleading to call it type safe since the properties of the Doc type might be missing in the actual front-matter data.

hey i have an idea. i need to create blog project. all the blog content are stored as mdx in github repo of same project. and i want to render mdx in screen. so. and for crud. i have simple cms. which for creation i will build form and after submitting the form the form data is then converted into markdown file and uploaded to that repo. hence this works for update delete. Is this is efficient way??? . I want to make fully dynamic blog posts
