const [reactContent, setMarkdownSource] = useRemark();
useEffect(() => {
setMarkdownSource('# markdown header');

Using input and events to update
import React from 'react';
import { useRemark } from 'react-remark';
const ExampleComponent = () => {
const [reactContent, setMarkdownSource] = useRemark();
return (
<>
<input
type="text"
onChange={({ currentTarget }) => setMarkdownSource(currentTarget.value)}
/>
{reactContent}
</>
);
};
export default ExampleComponent;
Server side rendering
import React from 'react';
import { useRemarkSync } from 'react-remark';
const ExampleComponent = () => {
const reactContent = useRemarkSync('# markdown header');

:notebook: Note that some remark plugins are async, these plugins will error if used with useRemarkSync
.
