kanapa

A syntax highlighting code block component based on shiki for use with React Server Components!

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This library is only supported within React Server Components,
> it may work in other environments but they will not be officially supported at this time!

Getting Started:

``bash
bun add kanapa
`

Usage:

`tsx
import { Code } from "kanapa";

async function MyServerComponent() {
return (


- Code - A highlighted code block component
- Props:
- code?: string - the code to be highlighted
- children?: string - alternative to the code prop, code to be highlighted (if both code and children are provided, the code prop will win out)
- lang: string - the language of the code, used for syntax highlighting, see supported languages
- theme?: string - an optional theme override for the code block, this will no longer render the "fallback" themed code block, see supported themes
- className?: string - an optional classname to apply to a wrapping element
- MDXCode - A highlighted code block component meant for use within transformed mdx (see #mdx for more details)
- Props:
- children: ReactElement - the code react element to be highlighted
- className?: string - An optional classname to apply to the wrapping element
- updateConfig - a function to update the config for all Code and MDXCode components
- Arguments:
- newConfig: Config - the new config to set
- config - a live binding to the current config object

Config:

This library supports a runtime config with the following options:

- themes: Record<'light' | 'dark', string> - an object map of light and dark themes to use for code blocks
- selectors: 'system' | Record<'light' | 'dark', string> - the type of selectors to use to pick between the light or dark themed code block

Example configs:

`ts
updateConfig({
themes: {
light: 'github-light',
dark: 'github-dark',
},
// Uses media queries to pick the current desired user theme
selectors: 'system',
});

updateConfig({
themes: {
light: 'vitesse-light',
dark: 'vitesse-dark'
},
selectors: {
light: 'html.light',
dark: 'html.dark',
},
})
`

MDX:

If you're rendering code blocks from mdx content, then you'll want to use the MDXCode export. Additionally I recommend using the rehype-mdx-code-props rehype plugin to automatically extract metadata on the code block and pass it as props to the code element (e.g. for passing the language down to the code block).

For frameworks that expose a mdx-components.tsx file (e.g. Next.js's @next/mdx setup), you'll want to map the 'pre' html element to the MDXCode component, e.g.:

`ts
// mdx-components.tsx

export function useMDXComponents() {
return {
pre: MDXCode
}
}
