I want to use marked in reactjs as described in the reactjs docs.
<div>{marked(mystring)}</div>
I use babel so I import marked like this:
import { marked } from 'marked';
Unfortunately the import statement does not work. marked is not defined. How do I have to import marked here, so that I can use it?
Here's one way to use marked with React:
markedmarked in your project's package.json file:// package.json
{
dependencies: {
react: "^17.0.0",
marked: "^4.0.0",
},
}
marked in your .jsx (or related) file:import { marked } from "marked";
import React from "react";
import { marked } from "marked";
class MarkdownExample extends React.Component {
getMarkdownText() {
var rawMarkup = marked.parse("This is _Markdown_.");
return { __html: rawMarkup };
}
render() {
return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={this.getMarkdownText()} />;
}
}
The dangerouslySetInnerHTML attribute gives you the ability to work with raw (HTML) markup. Make sure to take care when using this attribute, though!
If you don't want to use dangerouslySetInnerHTML and safely render HTML. Try marked-react, which internally uses marked to render the html elements as react components
npm i marked-react
import Markdown from "marked-react";
const MarkdownComponent = () => {
return <Markdown>{rawmarkdown}</Markdown>;
};
Another alternative is react-markdown
marked under the hood (it uses remark).With the marked-wrapper react-marked-markdown:
import { MarkdownPreview } from 'react-marked-markdown'
export default ({ post }) => (
<div>
<h1>{ post.title }</h1>
<MarkdownPreview value={ post.content }/>
</div>
)
Here is another way of using marked with React Hooks:
- Create your MarkedConverter component
import { useState } from 'react'
import marked from 'marked'
export const MarkedConverter = () => {
const [markedVal, setMarkedVal] = useState(
'# Welcome to my React Markdown Previewer!'
)
return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={createMarkUp(markedVal)}></div>
}
- Create Markup function and pass the value from MarkedConverter Component
export const createMarkUp = (val) => {
return { __html: marked(val) }
}
- Finally you can import MarkedConverter Component to any of your Component
If you just want to import marked:
import marked from 'marked';
Then call the function in your component:
marked('# Markdown');
Here's an example on how to use marked with react:
Install marked with NPM : npm i marked
import it in your react app (this example is created with create-react-app), and using it example of a react component using "marked"
result in the browser : preview
