## What it is
mdx-bundler is a JavaScript library that compiles and bundles MDX strings together with their imported TS/JS dependencies using MDX v3 and esbuild, returning a renderable component. It works with sources from anywhere—local files, GitHub, or a CMS—as long as you provide the file contents.

## Use cases
- compile mdx strings into react components
- bundle mdx files with their imports
- render markdown with embedded jsx components
- compile mdx content stored in a cms
- support typescript imports inside mdx files
- build a blog that renders mdx posts with interactive components

## When to avoid
- you only need simple markdown-to-html rendering without jsx
- you need a full static site generator or mdx runtime in the browser without a build step

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: build-tool, compiler, serialization, markdown
- domain: web-development, frontend, documentation, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: mdx, esbuild, bundler, jsx, markdown, content-compilation, nodejs, javascript
