Usage

Currently, two usage methods are planned:

1. Using the scaffolding initialization (recommended), you can get started directly.
2. Add the dependency @huyikai/vitepress-helper to an existing vitepress project and manually modify the config and theme.

Cli Init

npx @huyikai/vitepress-helper init

You will be greeted with a few simple questions:

# Project Name
# Author
# Version
# Do you need local CMS?

After the initialization is complete, you can run npm run dev to preview or run npm run cms to manage content.

2. Add Dependency

npm @huyikai/vitepress-helper

// Modify config.js
import vitepressHelper from '@huyikai/vitepress-helper';
export default async () => {
  const instance: any = await vitepressHelper({
    directory: 'docs',
    collapsible: true
  });
  return {
    ...,
    themeConfig:{
      ...,
      nav:instance.nav,// You can continue to expand. Example: [...instance.nav,...otherNavArray]
      sidebar:instance.sidebar // You can continue to expand. Example: [...instance.sidebar,...otherSidebarArray]
    }
  }
}

Create directory .vitepress/theme, and create files home.vue and index.js

home.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import VPDoc from 'vitepress/dist/client/theme-default/components/VPDoc.vue';
import VPButton from 'vitepress/dist/client/theme-default/components/VPButton.vue';
</script>
<template>
  <!-- You can customize any content, for example: -->
  <div>A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step</div>

  <!-- The VPDoc component here will render the content of index.md in the docs root directory. -->
  <VPDoc />
</template>
<style></style>

index.js

import 'vitepress/dist/client/theme-default/styles/vars.css';
import 'vitepress/dist/client/theme-default/styles/base.css';
import 'vitepress/dist/client/theme-default/styles/utils.css';
import 'vitepress/dist/client/theme-default/styles/components/custom-block.css';
import 'vitepress/dist/client/theme-default/styles/components/vp-code.css';
import 'vitepress/dist/client/theme-default/styles/components/vp-code-group.css';
import 'vitepress/dist/client/theme-default/styles/components/vp-doc.css';
import 'vitepress/dist/client/theme-default/styles/components/vp-sponsor.css';

import Home from './home.vue';
import Layout from '@huyikai/vitepress-helper/theme/Theme.vue';
import VPBadge from 'vitepress/dist/client/theme-default/components/VPBadge.vue';

const theme = {
  Layout,
  enhanceApp: ({ app }) => {
    app.component('Home', Home);
    app.component('Badge', VPBadge);
  }
};
export default theme;
