Syntax higlighting

The project uses MDX files so you'll likely need to install a plugin that supports MDX syntax highlighting. MDX is markdown that also supports JSX.

How MDX Routing Works

The [[...mdxPath]] directory uses Next.js dynamic routing to handle all documentation pages:

  • Dynamic Catch-All Routes: The [[...mdxPath]] folder name creates a catch-all route that matches any path depth (e.g., /concepts/users, /tutorial/getting-started)
  • Nextra Integration: The page.jsx file uses Nextra's importPage function to dynamically load MDX files from the content/ directory based on the URL path
  • Static Generation: generateStaticParams pre-builds all possible routes at build time
  • Metadata Handling: Each MDX file can include frontmatter metadata that gets extracted and used for SEO and page information

This structure allows you to simply add new .mdx files to the content/ directory and they automatically become accessible via their file path as URLs.

Deployment

The site automatically deploys to Vercel when changes are pushed to the main branch.
