Frontmatter

本指南探讨如何在 MDX 中支持 YAML frontmatter。 MDX 支持标准 Markdown 语法 (CommonMark)。这意味着默认情况下不支持 frontmatter。

¥This guide explores how to support YAML frontmatter in MDX. MDX supports standard markdown syntax (CommonMark). That means frontmatter is not supported by default.

MDX 提供了 Frontmatter 的强大且动态的替代方案，即 ESM (import/export)。这些导出：

¥MDX comes with a powerful and dynamic alternative to frontmatter, namely ESM (import/export). These exports:

example.mdx

export const name = 'World'
export const title = 'Hi, ' + name + '!'

# {title}

可以像这样使用：

¥Can be used like so:

example.js

import * as Post from './example.mdx' // Assumes an integration is used to compile MDX -> JS.

console.log(Post.title) // Prints 'Hi, World!'

(alias) module "*.mdx"
import Post

namespace console
var console: Console

The console module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers.

The module exports two specific components:

A Console class with methods such as console.log(), console.error() and console.warn() that can be used to write to any Node.js stream.
A global console instance configured to write to process.stdout and process.stderr. The global console can be used without calling require('console').

Warning: The global console object's methods are neither consistently synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the note on process I/O for more information.

Example using the global console:

console.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints error message and stack trace to stderr:
//   Error: Whoops, something bad happened
//     at [eval]:5:15
//     at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18)
//     at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38)
//     at node:internal/process/execution:77:19
//     at [eval]-wrapper:6:22
//     at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60)
//     at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3

const name = 'Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr

Example using the Console class:

const out = getStreamSomehow();
const err = getStreamSomehow();
const myConsole = new console.Console(out, err);

myConsole.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err

const name = 'Will Robinson';
myConsole.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to err

@see source

(method) Console.log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void

Prints to stdout with newline. Multiple arguments can be passed, with the first used as the primary message and all additional used as substitution values similar to printf(3) (the arguments are all passed to util.format()).

const count = 5;
console.log('count: %d', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout
console.log('count:', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout

See util.format() for more information.

(alias) module "*.mdx"
import Post

const title: string

不过，你可能更喜欢 frontmatter，因为它允许你定义可以在编译之前从文件系统中提取的数据。假设我们的 MDX 和 frontmatter 看起来像这样：

¥You might prefer frontmatter though, as it lets you define data that can be extracted from the file system before compiling. Say our MDX with frontmatter looked like this:

example.mdx

---
title: Hi, World!
---

# Hi, World!

然后无需编译或评估元数据就可以像这样访问：

¥Then without compiling or evaluating the metadata can be accessed like so:

example.js

import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {matter} from 'vfile-matter'

const file = await read('example.mdx')
matter(file)

console.log(file.data.matter)

(alias) function read(description: Compatible, options: BufferEncoding | ReadOptions | null | undefined, callback: Callback): undefined (+2 overloads)
import read

我们的编译器 @mdx-js/mdx 默认情况下不理解 YAML frontmatter，但可以通过使用注释插件 remark-frontmatter 来启用它：

¥Our compiler, @mdx-js/mdx, doesn’t understand YAML frontmatter by default but it can be enabled by using a remark plugin, remark-frontmatter:

example.js

import fs from 'node:fs/promises'
import {compile} from '@mdx-js/mdx'
import remarkFrontmatter from 'remark-frontmatter'

const file = await compile(await fs.readFile('example.mdx'), {
  remarkPlugins: [remarkFrontmatter]
})

console.log(file)

(alias) module "node:fs/promises"
import fs

(alias) function compile(vfileCompatible: Readonly<Compatible>, compileOptions?: Readonly<CompileOptions> | null | undefined): Promise<VFile>
import compile

(alias) function remarkFrontmatter(options?: Options | null | undefined): undefined
import remarkFrontmatter

const file: VFile

(alias) compile(vfileCompatible: Readonly<Compatible>, compileOptions?: Readonly<CompileOptions> | null | undefined): Promise<VFile>
import compile

(alias) module "node:fs/promises"
import fs

function readFile(path: PathLike | fs.FileHandle, options?: ({
    encoding?: null | undefined;
    flag?: OpenMode | undefined;
} & EventEmitter<T extends EventMap<T> = DefaultEventMap>.Abortable) | null): Promise<Buffer> (+2 overloads)

Asynchronously reads the entire contents of a file.

If no encoding is specified (using options.encoding), the data is returned as a Buffer object. Otherwise, the data will be a string.

If options is a string, then it specifies the encoding.

When the path is a directory, the behavior of fsPromises.readFile() is platform-specific. On macOS, Linux, and Windows, the promise will be rejected with an error. On FreeBSD, a representation of the directory's contents will be returned.

An example of reading a package.json file located in the same directory of the running code:

import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises';
try {
  const filePath = new URL('./package.json', import.meta.url);
  const contents = await readFile(filePath, { encoding: 'utf8' });
  console.log(contents);
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err.message);
}

It is possible to abort an ongoing readFile using an AbortSignal. If a request is aborted the promise returned is rejected with an AbortError:

import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises';

try {
  const controller = new AbortController();
  const { signal } = controller;
  const promise = readFile(fileName, { signal });

  // Abort the request before the promise settles.
  controller.abort();

  await promise;
} catch (err) {
  // When a request is aborted - err is an AbortError
  console.error(err);
}

Aborting an ongoing request does not abort individual operating system requests but rather the internal buffering fs.readFile performs.

Any specified FileHandle has to support reading.

@since v10.0.0
@param path filename or FileHandle
@return Fulfills with the contents of the file.

const file: VFile

现在它“起作用了”。frontmatter 不会像 Markdown 一样渲染。但嵌入在 frontmatter 中的数据无法从 MDX 内部获得。如果我们也想要那样怎么办？就像这样：

¥Now it “works”. The frontmatter is not rendered as if it was markdown. But the data embedded in the frontmatter isn’t available from inside the MDX. What if we wanted that too? Like so:

example.mdx

---
title: Hi, World!
---

# {title}

这正是 remark 插件 remark-mdx-frontmatter 的作用。

¥That’s exactly what the remark plugin remark-mdx-frontmatter does.

该插件与所有 remark 插件一样，可以作为 remarkPlugins 于 ProcessorOptions 传递。有关插件的更多信息可在 § 扩展 MDX 中找到

¥That plugin, like all remark plugins, can be passed as remarkPlugins in ProcessorOptions. More info on plugins is available in § Extending MDX
