Usage

The gatsby-remark-text-composition data is queried in different ways depending on if you’re using markdown or MDX.

Markdown (MD)

If you are transforming markdown with gatsby-transformer-remark, you can query the text composition data like this:

const result = await graphql(`
  query {
    allMarkdownRemark {
      nodes {
        fields {
          readingTime {
            milliseconds
            minutes
            words
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
`)

MDX

If you are using MDX with gatsby-plugin-mdx, you can query the text composition data like this:

export const query = graphql`
  query {
    allMdx {
      nodes {
        fields {
          readingTime {
            milliseconds
            minutes
            words
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
