Plugin
With the help of Plugin API, VuePress plugin can provide different features for you.
Community Plugin
Community users have created lots of plugins and published them to NPM. VuePress team also maintains some official plugins under the @vuepress scope. You should check the plugin's own documentation for detailed guide.
In general, you need to specify the name of the plugin to use in plugins option:
module.exports = {
plugins: [
'foo',
['bar', { /* options */ }]
],
}
You can use either plugin name or its shorthand:
Plugin Name | Shorthand |
---|---|
vuepress-plugin-foo |
foo |
@org/vuepress-plugin-bar |
@org/bar |
@vuepress/plugin-foobar |
@vuepress/foobar |
Local Plugin
If you want to use your own plugin but don't want to publish it, you can create a local plugin.
It is recommended to use the Config File directly as a plugin, because almost all of the Plugin APIs are available, which would be more convenient in most cases.
But if you have too many things to do in your config file, it's better to extract them into separate plugins, and use them by setting the absolute path to them or requiring them:
module.exports = {
plugins: [
'/path/to/your-plugin.js',
require('./another-plugin'),
],
}
You can refer to Advanced > Writing a Plugin for how to write your own plugin.
