Twoslash

Use Typescript Twoslash in your docs

Usage

Thanks to the Twoslash integration of Shiki, the default code syntax highlighter, it is as simple as adding a transformer.

npm install @hanzo/docs-twoslash twoslash

For Next.js, you need to externalize the following deps:

const config = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
  serverExternalPackages: ['typescript', 'twoslash'],
};

Add to your Shiki transformers.

import { defineConfig } from '@hanzo/docs-mdx/config';
import { transformerTwoslash } from '@hanzo/docs-twoslash';
import { rehypeCodeDefaultOptions } from '@hanzo/docs-core/mdx-plugins';

export default defineConfig({
  mdxOptions: {
    rehypeCodeOptions: {
      themes: {
        light: 'github-light',
        dark: 'github-dark',
      },
      transformers: [...(rehypeCodeDefaultOptions.transformers ?? []), transformerTwoslash()],

      // important: Shiki doesn't support lazy loading languages for codeblocks in Twoslash popups
      // make sure to define them first (e.g. the common ones)
      langs: ['js', 'jsx', 'ts', 'tsx'],
    },
  },
});

Add styles, Tailwind CSS v4 is required.

@import '@hanzo/docs-twoslash/twoslash.css';

Add MDX components.

import * as Twoslash from '@hanzo/docs-twoslash/ui';
import defaultComponents from '@hanzo/docs-ui/mdx';
import type { MDXComponents } from 'mdx/types';

export function getMDXComponents(components?: MDXComponents) {
  return {
    ...defaultComponents,
    ...Twoslash,
    ...components,
  } satisfies MDXComponents;
}

Now you can add twoslash meta string to codeblocks.

```ts twoslash
console.log('Hello World');
```

Cache

Optionally, you can enable filesystem cache with typesCache option:

import { transformerTwoslash } from '@hanzo/docs-twoslash';
import { createFileSystemTypesCache } from '@hanzo/docs-twoslash/cache-fs';

transformerTwoslash({
  typesCache: createFileSystemTypesCache(),
});

Example

Learn more about Twoslash notations.

type Player = {
  /**
   * The player name
   * @default 'user'
   */
  name: string;
};

// ---cut---
// @noErrors
console.g;
//       ^|

const player: Player = { name: 'Hello World' };
//    ^?
const a = '123';

console.log(a);
//      ^^^
// @errors: 2588
const a = '123';

a = 132;
