rehype-code-titles

Rehype plugin for parsing code blocks and adding titles to code blocks

Why?

I moved my blog over to using mdx-bundler which uses xdm under the hood to parse the markdown and MDX files. I was using remark-code-titles prior to this move and unfortunately it no longer worked. I believe this was because of the order plugins were being applied internally for xdm. I'd never really worked with remark or rehype directly before and didn't have a lot of experience with ASTs so this was a fun little project that I initially built directly into my blog before pulling it out at a plugin to ship to other developers.

Many thanks to @mottox2, @mapbox, & @wooorm for their prior work in this ecosystem it was of great help when creating this plugin.

Installation

This package is ESM only: Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be imported instead of required.

npm install rehype-code-titles

yarn add rehype-code-titles

pnpm add rehype-code-titles

API

This package exports no identifiers. The default export is rehypeCodeTitles

`rehype().use(rehypeCodeTitles[, options])`

Add support for stripping out code titles from input.

`options`

`options.customClassName`

Specify your own custom css class name to apply. Defaults to rehype-code-title. Note: you will have to write the CSS implementation yourself.

For example

// some global css file
.rehype-code-title {
  margin-bottom: -0.6rem;
  padding: 0.5em 1em;
  font-family: Consolas, 'Andale Mono WT', 'Andale Mono', 'Lucida Console',
    'Lucida Sans Typewriter', 'DejaVu Sans Mono', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono',
    'Liberation Mono', 'Nimbus Mono L', Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier,
    monospace;

  background-color: black;
  color: white;
  z-index: 0;

  border-top-left-radius: 0.3em;
  border-top-right-radius: 0.3em;
}

`options.titleSeparator`

Specify the title separator for rehype-code-title. Defaults to: :.

// default behavior will be
'language-typescript:lib/mdx.ts' // the title will be lib/mdx.ts
'language-typescript:title=lib/mdx.ts' // title will be title=lib/mdx.ts

// titleSeparator set to :title=
'language-typescript:lib/mdx.ts' // Wont work! 😱. Does not match the separator
'language-typescript:title=lib/mdx.ts' // title will be lib/mdx.ts

Input

## Code Example

```typescript:lib/mdx.ts
// code here
```

Output

<div class="rehype-code-title">lib/mdx.ts</div>
<pre>
  <code class="language-typescript">
  <!-- HTML parse code here -->
  </code>
</pre>

Usage

  .use(rehypePrism)
  .process(/* some html */)

const unified = require('unified')
const rehypeParse = require('rehype-parse')
const rehypeCodeTitles = require('rehype-code-titles')
const rehypePrism = require('@mapbox/rehype-prism')

unified()
  .use(rehypeParse)
  .use(rehypeCodeTitles)
  .use(rehypePrism)
  .processSync(/* some html */)
