next-mdx: Helpers for Local MDX in Next.js (Project Retired)

next-mdx was a library designed to simplify working with local MDX files in Next.js projects. It offered helper functions for fetching, rendering, and managing MDX content, including relational data, custom components, and TypeScript integration. While it aimed for speed in building MDX-powered pages and blogs, this project is now retired. Users should consider alternatives like next-mdx-remote, mdx-bundler, or nextra for current needs.

Features:

• Configuration: Define MDX content types, paths, and sorting via a next-mdx.json file.
• Path Generation (getMdxPaths): Generates an array of path parameters for Next.js getStaticPaths.
• Node Fetching without MDX Content (getNode, getAllNodes): Retrieves MDX node data (frontMatter, relational data) quickly without processing MDX content, suitable for listings.
• MDX Node Fetching (getMdxNode, getAllMdxNodes): Fetches complete MDX nodes, including the compiled MDX content.
• Client-Side Hydration (useHydrate): Hydrates static MDX content on the client-side.
• Relational Data Handling: Automatically infers relationships between different content types based on frontMatter.
• Custom Component Support: Allows usage of custom React components within MDX files.
• MDX Options Customization: Provides ability to pass remark, rehype, and other MDX processing options.
• TypeScript Ready: Designed with TypeScript support for type safety.

Summary:

next-mdx provided utilities for integrating local MDX content into Next.js, focusing on data fetching, rendering, and content relationships. It supported custom components and was TypeScript-friendly. As the project is no longer maintained, developers are encouraged to explore alternative solutions such as next-mdx-remote, mdx-bundler, or nextra for similar functionalities in Next.js projects, ensuring continued support and updates for their MDX needs.
