const markdownContent = fs.readFileSync('./post.md', 'utf-8');
const markdownJSON = matter(markdownContent);

Integration with NextJS

This package allows us to parse the frontmatter section and the content section from a content string.

Then we want to open up our index.js file and start importing the packages we will need.

import fs from 'fs';
import matter from 'md-front-matter';
import Image from 'next/image';
import Link from 'next/link';
