Using the CodeSnippet Component
The CodeSnippet component is a powerful tool for displaying multiple code examples in a tabbed interface within your documentation. It's particularly useful when you need to show code snippets in different languages or file types for the same concept.
Basic Usage
To use the CodeSnippet component, wrap your code blocks with it in your MDX file:
<CodeSnippets>
```javascript::example.js
const greeting = "Hello, world!";
console.log(greeting);
```
```python::example.py
greeting = "Hello, world!"
print(greeting)
```
</CodeSnippets>
Syntax
The syntax for each code block within the CodeSnippet component is:
```language::filename
// Your code here
language: The programming language of the code (e.g., javascript, python, typescript)filename: The name of the file (e.g., example.js, main.py)
Multiple Code Blocks
You can include multiple code blocks within a single CodeSnippet component:
Features
- Automatic tab creation for each code block
- Syntax highlighting based on the specified language
- File names displayed as tab labels
- Line numbers included in each code block
Best Practices
- Use descriptive file names for better context
- Ensure consistent indentation within code blocks
- Keep code examples concise and focused
- Use comments within code blocks to explain key points
By utilizing the CodeSnippet component, you can create more engaging and interactive documentation that allows readers to easily compare and switch between different code examples.
