Can I use MDX with Fresh?

[o-t-w]

Fresh feels well-suited to documentation. Is there a guide to using Fresh in conjunction with MDX?

Similar case is Deno Docs: https://github.com/denoland/fresh/blob/main/www/routes/docs/%5B...slug%5D.tsx

The code is:

// Parse markdown front matter
const url = new URL(`../../../${entry.file}`, import.meta.url);
const fileContent = await Deno.readTextFile(url);
const { body, attrs } = frontMatter<Record<string, unknown>>(fileContent);

I'm still not sure what it does, and how it is related to the question.

[rschristian]

It's reading a markdown document as text and parsing it into a body and meta data.

Not quite MDX, but if you just want to write in Markdown, it's pretty close.

I take that it doesn't answer the question?

[rschristian]

Depends on your needs.

If you specifically want MDX and only MDX, no, it's not of much help, but if you want Markdown, then it's a great example of how you can implement it.

Yes, you can not SSR MDX on Deno Deploy though.

2 years have passed. Have you found the answer?

On my blog I use Markdown directives to intersperse islands with prose.

MDX would be slicker, but a little harder to implement.

However, this is part of a cluster of ideas I've been tinkering with regarding using Fresh for "blogging", so if there's interest on your end, please reach out via the contact info on my website.
