docsify.js sidebar footer
This plugin enhances your website's sidebar or page by creating a footer area where you can display important information. It automatically updates the copyright year or range, allows you to include your name or company with a URL, and provides links to a privacy policy, terms of service, and cookies policy pages. By utilising this plugin, you can easily showcase relevant legal information, personalise your website, and promote transparency and compliance.
Installation
!> Note: There are breaking changes in the configuration from v4.x
to v5.x
. Please take the time to read all the documentation before upgrading
Update index.html
file
Assuming you have a working docsify framework set up, it is easy to use the plugin.
Add one of the following script tags to your
index.html
via either CDN or downloading it and using it locally:<!-- unpkg.com --> <script src="https://unpkg.com/@markbattistella/docsify-sidebarfooter@latest"></script> <!-- jsDelivr --> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@markbattistella/docsify-sidebarfooter@latest"></script> <!-- locally --> <script src="docsify-sidebar.min.js"></script>
In docsify setup configure the plugin:
<script> window.$docsify = { autoFooter: { // the name you wish to display as the copyright holder name: String, // the URL (personal or company) which clicking the `name` goes to url: String, // the start year of copyright copyYear: String, // show the privacy policy link policy: Bool | String, // show the terms of service link terms: Bool | String, // show the cookies policy link cookies: Bool | String, // use your own css styles or the built in ones customStyle: Bool | String } }; </script>
Additional files
Default
If you set the policy
, terms
, or cookies
options to true
the URL links for those pages will look for the markdown files directly next to the index.html
file:
// ... other config
policy: true,
terms: true,
cookies: true,
// ... other config
- index.html --> https://your-awesome-site.com/#/
- _policy.md --> https://your-awesome-site.com/#/_policy
- _terms.md --> https://your-awesome-site.com/#/_terms
- _cookies.md --> https://your-awesome-site.com/#/_cookies
Sub-folder
However, if you enter a string it will append that to the base URL of your website:
// ... other config
policy: 'site/policy',
terms: 'site/terms',
cookies: 'site/cookies',
// ... other config
- index.html --> https://your-awesome-site.com/#/
- site/
\__ policy.md --> https://your-awesome-site.com/#/site/policy
\__ terms.md --> https://your-awesome-site.com/#/site/terms
\__ cookies.md --> https://your-awesome-site.com/#/site/cookies
External links
If you host your policy, terms, or cookies messages on an external website (or need to link to a parent company policy) you can add them in as the full URL:
// ... other config
policy: "https://my-other-website.com/policy",
terms: "https://my-other-website.com/terms",
cookies: "https://my-other-website.com/cookies",
// ... other config
These will open those pages in a new tab directly.
