feat: use nuxt-shiki

[cpreston321]

resolves #148

In this PR I added the module nuxt-shiki.

Which controls the main core level to shiki like loading wasm binary, exposes functions for other projects to then consume in there projects.

Thanks. LGTM with overall changes.

Hnading over to @farnabaz to see what is needed.

[cpreston321]

@pi0 Since the module is installed and loadShiki is under #imports, whats a good way to test this? I haven't found a good way to import without the ci:test throwing errors. I can mock it but I need to pull that from exports from nuxt-shiki to test.

[pi0]

Checking locally, we need to update #mdc-highlighter / mdc-highlighter.js template as well.

I will check tomorrow more too. (also /cc @antfu if you have any recommendations for migration)

[farnabaz]

Using nuxt-shiki will break the possibility of using @nuxtjs/mdc package outside Nuxt scope.

Currently, there are some known use-cases that we are using MDC module to parse/render markdown files in non-Nuxt applications.

@nuxtjs/mdc is an entry point for users to use MDC syntax and should work outside Nuxt too.

[pi0]

Interesting point... I am open to also expose runtime of nuxt-shiki to be directly usable if that would help adoption/unify usage.

[pi0]

on it

[farnabaz]

What do you think of improving the usage in MDC instead of separating the logic into another package?
For me, Shiki could be part of MDC module and users can use it separately if they need to.

[pi0]

• Maintaining shiki/wasm support within another module is super tricky today and we faced multiple regressions
• When users need to use Shiki outside of mdc, it will have become super tricky as well with multiple implementations

I am building nuxt-shiki in good faith for our entire ecosystem and if you have any more needs that need to be considered 💯 welcome. (PS: you are already a maintainer of nuxt-shiki :)

[farnabaz]

I understand how tricky it is. I'm not against building nuxt-shiki, IMO we can just take similar approach in MDC module to improve usability, unify the implementation.

I just don't get why it needs to be done in a separate module. What is the limitation that we need to separate it? Maybe I'm missing something.

[pi0]

Simply not duplicating the same thing and reducing maintenance/sync costs. Sent you a message in Slack if you like to talk :)

Again I'm not against nuxt-shiki nor standing in front of it, I asked to improve it in MDC module. And so far I didn't get why we can't do all improvments inside MDC module and expose same/similar helpers.

Anyway like I said in nuxt/ui#1361 (comment) we can adopt it.
Feel free to update this PR and we can merge it :)
