Quick Start

$ npm install @uiw/react-markdown-preview --save

Usage Example

import React from 'react';
import MarkdownPreview from '@uiw/react-markdown-preview';

const source = `
## MarkdownPreview

> todo: React component preview markdown text.
`;

export default function Demo() {
  return (
    <MarkdownPreview source={source} style={{ padding: 16 }} />
  )
}

Disable Header links

import React from 'react';
import MarkdownPreview from '@uiw/react-markdown-preview';

const source = `
## MarkdownPreview

## Header 2

### Header 3
`;

export default function Demo() {
  return (
    <MarkdownPreview
      source={source}
      style={{ padding: 16 }}
      rehypeRewrite={(node, index, parent) => {
        if (node.tagName === "a" && parent && /^h(1|2|3|4|5|6)/.test(parent.tagName)) {
          parent.children = parent.children.slice(1)
        }
      }}
    />
  );
}

highlight line

syntax: ```jsx {1,4-5}

import React from 'react';
import MarkdownPreview from '@uiw/react-markdown-preview';

const source = `
\`\`\`js {2}
function () {
  console.log('hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello')
}
\`\`\`
\`\`\`js {2}
function () {
  console.log('hello ')
}
\`\`\`
`;

export default function Demo() {
  return (
    <MarkdownPreview
      source={source}
      style={{ padding: 16 }}
      rehypeRewrite={(node, index, parent) => {
        if (node.tagName === "a" && parent && /^h(1|2|3|4|5|6)/.test(parent.tagName)) {
          parent.children = parent.children.slice(1)
        }
      }}
    />
  );
}

Show Line Numbers

syntax: ```jsx showLineNumbers {1,4-5}

import React from 'react';
import MarkdownPreview from '@uiw/react-markdown-preview';

const source = `
\`\`\`js showLineNumbers
function () {
  console.log('hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello')
}
\`\`\`
\`\`\`js showLineNumbers {2}
function () {
  console.log('hello ')
}
\`\`\`
`;

export default function Demo() {
  return (
    <MarkdownPreview
      source={source}
      style={{ padding: 16 }}
      rehypeRewrite={(node, index, parent) => {
        if (node.tagName === "a" && parent && /^h(1|2|3|4|5|6)/.test(parent.tagName)) {
          parent.children = parent.children.slice(1)
        }
      }}
    />
  );
}

Code Highlight

import React from 'react';
import MarkdownPreview from '@uiw/react-markdown-preview';

const source = `
\`\`\`js
function () {
  console.log('hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello')
}
\`\`\`
\`\`\`js
function () {
  console.log('hello ')
}
\`\`\`
`;

export default function Demo() {
  return (
    <MarkdownPreview source={source} style={{ padding: 16 }} />
  );
}

Remove Code Highlight

The following example can help you exclude code highlighting code from being included in the bundle. @uiw/react-markdown-preview/nohighlight component does not contain the rehype-prism-plus code highlighting package, showLineNumbers and highlight line functions will no longer work. (#586)

import React from 'react';
import MarkdownPreview from '@uiw/react-markdown-preview/nohighlight';

const source = `
\`\`\`js
function () {
  console.log('hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello')
}
\`\`\`
\`\`\`js
function () {
  console.log('hello ')
}
\`\`\`
`;

export default function Demo() {
  return (
    <MarkdownPreview
      source={source}
      style={{ padding: 16 }}
      rehypeRewrite={(node, index, parent) => {
        if (node.tagName === "a" && parent && /^h(1|2|3|4|5|6)/.test(parent.tagName)) {
          parent.children = parent.children.slice(1)
        }
      }}
    />
  );
}

Ignore

Ignore content display via HTML comments, Shown in GitHub readme, excluded in HTML.

import React from 'react';
import MarkdownPreview from '@uiw/react-markdown-preview';

const source = `
<!--rehype:ignore:start-->
Content ignored
<!--rehype:ignore:end-->
Some content is ignored, please check the source code
`;

export default function Demo() {
  return (
    <MarkdownPreview
      source={source}
      style={{ padding: 16 }}
      rehypeRewrite={(node, index, parent) => {
        if (node.tagName === "a" && parent && /^h(1|2|3|4|5|6)/.test(parent.tagName)) {
          parent.children = parent.children.slice(1)
        }
      }}
    />
  );
}

<!--rehype:ignore:start-->Ignored content<!--rehype:ignore:end-->

Support Custom KaTeX Preview

KaTeX is a fast, easy-to-use JavaScript library for TeX math rendering on the web, We perform math rendering through KaTeX.

npm install katex

import React from 'react';
import MarkdownPreview from '@uiw/react-markdown-preview';
import { getCodeString } from 'rehype-rewrite';
import katex from 'katex';
import 'katex/dist/katex.css';

const source = `This is to display the 
\`\$\$\c = \\pm\\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\$\$\`
 in one line

\`\`\`KaTeX
c = \\pm\\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}
\`\`\`
`;

export default function Demo() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState(source);
  return (
    <MarkdownPreview
      source={source}
      style={{ padding: 16 }}
      components={{
        code: ({ children = [], className, ...props }) => {
          if (typeof children === 'string' && /^\$\$(.*)\$\$/.test(children)) {
            const html = katex.renderToString(children.replace(/^\$\$(.*)\$\$/, '$1'), {
              throwOnError: false,
            });
            return <code dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} style={{ background: 'transparent' }} />;
          }
          const code = props.node && props.node.children ? getCodeString(props.node.children) : children;
          if (
            typeof code === 'string' &&
            typeof className === 'string' &&
            /^language-katex/.test(className.toLocaleLowerCase())
          ) {
            const html = katex.renderToString(code, {
              throwOnError: false,
            });
            return <code style={{ fontSize: '150%' }} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} />;
          }
          return <code className={String(className)}>{children}</code>;
        },
      }}
    />
  );
}

Support Custom Mermaid Preview

Using mermaid to generation of diagram and flowchart from text in a similar manner as markdown

import React, { useState, useRef, useEffect, Fragment, useCallback } from "react";
import MarkdownPreview from '@uiw/react-markdown-preview';
import { getCodeString } from 'rehype-rewrite';
import mermaid from "mermaid";

const randomid = () => parseInt(String(Math.random() * 1e15), 10).toString(36);
const Code = ({ inline, children = [], className, ...props }) => {
  const demoid = useRef(`dome${randomid()}`);
  const [container, setContainer] = useState(null);
  const isMermaid = className && /^language-mermaid/.test(className.toLocaleLowerCase());
  const code = props.node && props.node.children ? getCodeString(props.node.children) : children[0] || '';

  const reRender = async () => {
    if (container && isMermaid) {
      try {
        const str = await mermaid.render(demoid.current, code);
        container.innerHTML = str.svg;
      } catch (error) {
        container.innerHTML = error;
      }
    }
  }

  useEffect(() => {
    reRender()
  }, [container, isMermaid, code, demoid]);

  const refElement = useCallback((node) => {
    if (node !== null) {
      setContainer(node);
    }
  }, []);

  if (isMermaid) {
    return (
      <Fragment>
        <code id={demoid.current} style={{ display: "none" }} />
        <code ref={refElement} data-name="mermaid" />
      </Fragment>
    );
  }
  return <code>{children}</code>;
};
const source = `The following are some examples of the diagrams, charts and graphs that can be made using Mermaid and the Markdown-inspired text specific to it. 

\`\`\`mermaid
graph TD
A[Hard] -->|Text| B(Round)
B --> C{Decision}

`;
// const source = `
// \`\`\`mermaid
// graph TD;
//     A-->B;
//     A-->C;
//     B-->D;
//     C-->D;

// `;

export default function Demo() {
  return (
    <MarkdownPreview
      source={source}
      style={{ padding: 16 }}
      components={{
        code: Code
      }}
    />
  );
}

Security

Please note markdown needs to be sanitized if you do not completely trust your authors. Otherwise, your app is vulnerable to XSS. This can be achieved by adding rehype-sanitize as a plugin.

import React from 'react';
import rehypeSanitize from "rehype-sanitize";
import MarkdownPreview from '@uiw/react-markdown-preview';

const source = `
## MarkdownPreview

**Hello world!!!** <IFRAME SRC=\"javascript:javascript:alert(window.origin);\"></IFRAME>

<!-- test --> 123

<!-- test --> 456 <!-- test -->
`;

const rehypePlugins = [rehypeSanitize];
export default function Demo() {
  return (
    <MarkdownPreview source={source} rehypePlugins={rehypePlugins} style={{ padding: 16 }} />
  )
}

Options Props

import { ReactMarkdownProps } from 'react-markdown';
import { RehypeRewriteOptions } from 'rehype-rewrite';

type MarkdownPreviewProps = {
  prefixCls?: string;
  className?: string;
  source?: string;
  disableCopy?: boolean;
  style?: React.CSSProperties;
  pluginsFilter?: (type: 'rehype' | 'remark', plugin: PluggableList) => PluggableList;
  wrapperElement?: React.DetailedHTMLProps<React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>, HTMLDivElement> & {
    'data-color-mode'?: 'light' | 'dark';
  };
  onScroll?: (e: React.UIEvent<HTMLDivElement>) => void;
  onMouseOver?: (e: React.MouseEvent<HTMLDivElement>) => void;
  rehypeRewrite?: RehypeRewriteOptions['rewrite'];
} & ReactMarkdownProps;

source (string, default: '')
Markdown to parse
className (string?)
Wrap the markdown in a div with this class name

This ReactMarkdownProps details. Upgrade react-markdown v9

children (string, default: '')
Markdown to parse
className (string?)
Wrap the markdown in a div with this class name
skipHtml (boolean, default: ~~false~~ -> true )
Ignore HTML in Markdown completely
allowElement ((element, index, parent) => boolean?, optional)
Function called to check if an element is allowed (when truthy) or not. allowedElements / disallowedElements is used first!
remarkPlugins (Array.<Plugin>, default: [])
List of remark plugins to use. See the next section for examples on how to pass options
rehypePlugins (Array.<Plugin>, default: [])
List of rehype plugins to use. See the next section for examples on how to pass options

Note

Upgrade react-markdown v8 to v9

Add `urlTransform`

The transformImageUri and transformLinkUri were removed. Having two functions is a bit much, particularly because there are more URLs you might want to change (or which might be unsafe so we make them safe). And their name and APIs were a bit weird. You can use the new urlTransform prop instead to change all your URLs.

Remove `linkTarget`

The linkTarget option was removed; you should likely not set targets. If you want to, use rehype-external-links.

Remove `includeElementIndex`

The includeElementIndex option was removed, so index is never passed to components. Write a plugin to pass index:

Show example of plugin

import {visit} from 'unist-util-visit'

function rehypePluginAddingIndex() {
  /**
   * @param {import('hast').Root} tree
   * @returns {undefined}
   */
  return function (tree) {
    visit(tree, function (node, index) {
      if (node.type === 'element' && typeof index === 'number') {
        node.properties.index = index
      }
    })
  }
}

Remove `rawSourcePos`

The rawSourcePos option was removed, so sourcePos is never passed to components. All components are passed node, so you can get node.position from them.

Remove `sourcePos`

The sourcePos option was removed, so data-sourcepos is never passed to elements. Write a plugin to pass index:

Show example of plugin

import {stringifyPosition} from 'unist-util-stringify-position'
import {visit} from 'unist-util-visit'

function rehypePluginAddingIndex() {
  /**
   * @param {import('hast').Root} tree
   * @returns {undefined}
   */
  return function (tree) {
    visit(tree, function (node) {
      if (node.type === 'element') {
        node.properties.dataSourcepos = stringifyPosition(node.position)
      }
    })
  }
}

Remove extra props passed to certain components

When overwriting components, these props are no longer passed:

inline on code — create a plugin or use pre for the block
level on h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 — check node.tagName instead
checked on li — check task-list-item class or check props.children
index on li — create a plugin
ordered on li — create a plugin or check the parent
depth on ol, ul — create a plugin
ordered on ol, ul — check node.tagName instead
isHeader on td, th — check node.tagName instead
isHeader on tr — create a plugin or check children

Markdown Features

Supports for CSS Style

Use HTML comments  to let Markdown support style customization.

## Title
<!--rehype:style=display: flex; height: 230px; align-items: center; justify-content: center; font-size: 38px;-->

Markdown Supports **Style**<!--rehype:style=color: red;-->

Support for GFM footnotes

Here is a simple footnote[^1]. With some additional text after it.

[^1]: My reference.

Ignore content display

# Hello World

<!--rehype:ignore:start-->Hello World<!--rehype:ignore:end-->

Good!

Output:

<h1>Hello World</h1>

<p>Good!</p>

Support for Github Alerts

import React from 'react';
import MarkdownPreview from '@uiw/react-markdown-preview';

const source = `> 
> 
> [!NOTE]
> Useful information that users should know, even when skimming content.

> [!TIP]
> Helpful advice for doing things better or more easily.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Key information users need to know to achieve their goal.

> [!WARNING]
> Urgent info that needs immediate user attention to avoid problems.

> [!CAUTION]
> Advises about risks or negative outcomes of certain actions.


`;

export default function Demo() {
  return (
    <MarkdownPreview source={source} style={{ padding: 16 }} />
  )
}

Support dark-mode/night-mode

By default, the dark-mode is automatically switched according to the system. If you need to switch manually, just set the data-color-mode="dark" parameter for body.

<html data-color-mode="dark">

document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-color-mode', 'dark')
document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-color-mode', 'light')

Inherit custom color variables by adding .wmde-markdown-var selector.

const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <div className="wmde-markdown-var"> </div>
      <MarkdownPreview source="Hello World!" />
    </div>
  )
}

Set the light theme.

<MarkdownPreview
  source="Hello World!"
  wrapperElement={{
+    "data-color-mode": "light"
  }}
/>
