Using React and JavaScript

You can use React components and JavaScript in MDX files.

Using React components

You can import and use components from jsx and tsx files created in the project directory.

## Using Custom Component

import { Card } from '../components/Card';
<Card 
  title="Sample App + Code" 
  icon="link" 
  href="https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-7fyrdn?file=src%2Findex.mdx"

## Declaring and Using React Components

export const Card = (props) => {
  return (
    <div className="bg-blue-500 text-white p-4">
      <h1>{props.title}</h1>
      <p>{props.children}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

<Card title="Card Title">
  Card Content
</Card>
