@react-email/code-block

Install

Install component from your command line.

With yarn

yarn add @react-email/code-block -E

With npm

npm install @react-email/code-block -E

Getting Started

Add the component into your email component as follows.

import { CodeBlock, dracula } from "@react-email/code-block";

const Email = () => {
  const code = `export default async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const html = await renderAsync(
      EmailTemplate({ firstName: 'John' })
    );
    return NextResponse.json({ html });
  } catch (error) {
    return NextResponse.json({ error });
  }
}`;

  return (
    
  );
};

This should render a code-block with the desired theme.

Theming

Themes for this component are basically a set of styles for each kind of token that can result from prismjs's tokenization. See here for more information on the tokens available.

An example of a theme would be this:

{
  "base": {
    "color": "#f8f8f2",
    "background": "#282a36",
    "textShadow": "0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3)",
    "fontFamily": "Consolas, Monaco, 'Andale Mono', 'Ubuntu Mono', monospace",
    "textAlign": "left",
    "whiteSpace": "pre",
    "wordSpacing": "normal",
    "wordBreak": "normal",
    "wordWrap": "normal",
    "lineHeight": "1.5",
    "MozTabSize": "4",
    "OTabSize": "4",
    "tabSize": "4",
    "WebkitHyphens": "none",
    "MozHyphens": "none",
    "MsHyphens": "none",
    "hyphens": "none",
    "padding": "1em",
    "margin": ".5em 0",
    "overflow": "auto",
    "borderRadius": "0.3em"
  },
  "comment": {
    "color": "#6272a4"
  },
  "prolog": {
    "color": "#6272a4"
  },
  "doctype": {
    "color": "#6272a4"
  },
  "cdata": {
    "color": "#6272a4"
  },
  "punctuation": {
    "color": "#f8f8f2"
  },
  "property": {
    "color": "#ff79c6"
  }
  // ...
}

Each token type can have their own defined styles and for each one of there can be any styles that can be applied directly to React elements. As you can see from the example dracula theme though, there is a defined property called base which is the styling for the pre element that wraps the HTML being rendered.

For you to not need to defined a theme without any basis, or to not define one that already has been defined, we have many default themes exported from @react-email/code-block. These themes were generated by a bit of code that converts a CSS file for a prismjs theme into a object theme of these. If you want to generate a theme from another existing prismjs theme you can do so by looking into this.
