vuepress-plugin-enhanced-search

enhanced header-based search plugin for VuePress

Install

yarn add -D @safestudio/vuepress-plugin-enhanced-search
# OR npm install -D @safestudio/vuepress-plugin-enhanced-search

Tip

Note that this plugin has been included in default theme, the search box you see now is powered by the plugin.

Usage

1. Enable this plugin:

// .vuepress/config.js or themePath/index.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    ['enhanced-search', {
      searchMaxSuggestions: 10
    }]
  ]
}

2. This plugin will automatically inject a webpack alias @EnhancedSearchBox pointing to the search component so that you can use it directly in your layout component:

<template>
  <div class="foo-layout">
    <header>
      <EnhancedSearchBox/>
    </header>
    <main>
      ...
    </main>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import EnhancedSearchBox from '@EnhancedSearchBox'

export default {
  components: { EnhancedSearchBox }
}
</script>

Options

searchMaxSuggestions

• Type: number
• Default: 5

Set the maximum number of results for search.

test

• Type: RegExp | Array<RegExp>
• Default: null

Set up searchable paths with regular expressions. If no test expression is provided it will search on all paths. Considering you have this structure:

docs/
├── .vuepress/
│    └── ...
│
├── master/
│    └── ...
│
├── 1.0/
│    └── ...
│
└── 2.0/
     └── ...

You can set up searchable paths with test as:

• RegExp: '/1\.0/'
• Array of RegExp: ['/1\.0/', '/2\.0/']

Otherwise, the default search will return duplicates, once you can have similar content between folders /master/, /1.0/ and /2.0/.

Tips

Tweak the default colors.

Since the Search component leverages the built-in palette, you can tweak the default colors via styles/palette.styl:

// colors of the enhanced search box you see now:
$accentColor = #3eaf7c
$textColor = #2c3e50
$borderColor = #eaecef
$codeBgColor = #282c34
$arrowBgColor = #ccc
