Appearance
Nav
The Nav is the navigation bar displayed on top of the page. It contains the site title, global menu links, etc.
Site Title and Logo
By default, nav shows the title of the site refferencing config.title
value. If you would like to change what's displayed on nav, you may define custom text in themeConfig.siteTitle
option.
js
export default {
themeConfig: {
siteTitle: 'My Custom Title'
}
}
If you have a logo for your site, you can display it by passing in the path to the image. You should place the logo within public
directly, and define the absolute path to it.
js
export default {
themeConfig: {
logo: '/my-logo.svg'
}
}
When adding a logo, it gets displayed along with the site title. If your logo is all you need and if you would like to hide the site title text, set false
to the siteTitle
option.
js
export default {
themeConfig: {
logo: '/my-logo.svg',
siteTitle: false
}
}
Navigation Links
You may define themeConfig.nav
option to add links to your nav.
js
export default {
themeConfig: {
nav: [
{ text: 'Guide', link: '/guide' },
{ text: 'Configs', link: '/configs' },
{ text: 'Changelog', link: 'https://github.com/...' }
]
}
}
The text
is the actual text displayed in nav, and the link
is the link that will be navigated to when the text is clicked. For the link, set path to the actual file without .md
prefix, and alsways start with /
.
Nav links can also be dropdown menus. To do this, set items
key on link option.
js
export default {
themeConfig: {
nav: [
{ text: 'Guide', link: '/guide' },
{
text: 'Dropdown Menu',
items: [
{ text: 'Item A', link: '/item-1' },
{ text: 'Item B', link: '/item-2' },
{ text: 'Item C', link: '/item-3' }
]
}
]
}
}
Note that dropdown menu title (Dropdown Menu
in the above example) can not have link
property since it becomes a button to open dropdown dialog.
You may further add "sections" to the dropdown menu items as well by passing in more nested items.
js
export default {
themeConfig: {
nav: [
{ text: 'Guide', link: '/guide' },
{
text: 'Dropdown Menu',
items: [
{
// Title for the section.
text: 'Section A Title',
items: [
{ text: 'Section A Item A', link: '...' },
{ text: 'Section B Item B', link: '...' }
]
}
]
},
{
text: 'Dropdown Menu',
items: [
{
// You may also omit the title.
items: [
{ text: 'Section A Item A', link: '...' },
{ text: 'Section B Item B', link: '...' }
]
}
]
}
]
}
}
Customize link's "active" state
Nav menu items will be highlighted when the current page is under the matching path. if you would like to customize the path to be mathced, define activeMatch
property and regex as a string value.
js
export default {
themeConfig: {
nav: [
// This link gets active state when the user is
// on `/config/` path.
{
text: 'Guide',
link: '/guide',
activeMatch: '/config/'
}
]
}
}
WARNING
activeMatch
is expected to be a regex string, but you must define it as a string. We can't use actual RegExp object here because it isn't serializable during the build time.
Social Links
You may define socialLinks
option to show your social account links with icons.
js
export default {
themeConfig: {
socialLinks: [
{ icon: 'github', link: 'https://github.com/vuejs/vitepress' },
{ icon: 'twitter', link: '...' },
{ icon: 'discord', link: '...' }
]
}
}
