Change code syntax highlighting theme about joeprevite.com HOT 7 CLOSED

Similar to that, the current syntax highlighter I'm using doesn't support Rust 😢 So that should be fixed as well.

from joeprevite.com.

Does GitHub support Rust? I would guess they do. Let's check

if x < 5 {
    x + 1
}

from joeprevite.com.

I'm going to take a stab at this!

from joeprevite.com.

Looking at the current syntax highlighter, it looks like these packages are involved:

• "gatsby-remark-prismjs": "^3.3.28"
• "prism-react-renderer": "^1.0.2"
• "prism-themes": "^1.3.0"
• "prismjs": "^1.17.1"

And the actual implementation happens in src/components/mdx/Code.js

from joeprevite.com.

So the implementation lies in this project prism-react-renderer. The question is:

• can I easily add support for new languages like Rust?
• can I export my VS Code theme and use that?

from joeprevite.com.

So I was able to add Rust pretty easily! The next step will be switching the theme to be my VS Code theme

from joeprevite.com.

I was able to add the vscode theme too!
