vuepress-plugin-autobar-improvement v0.1.8

vuepress-plugin-autobar

VuePress sidebar and navbar generator based on file and directory structure. Focus your documents, not sidebar or navbar.

1. Synopsis

Install

 # npm install -D vuepress-plugin-autobar # Waitting author accepted the PR.
 npm install -D boboidream/vuepress-bar

Usage

Add vuepress-plugin-autobar in your site or theme config file. See official docs on using a plugin

// .vuepress/config.js
// or
// .vuepress/theme/index.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: ['autobar']
}

2. Features

• Creates navbar & sidebar: Add navbar prefix to your directories such as nav.guide or nav.01.guide
• Custom sort: Prefix directories with numbers, or add order meta to files such as 01.guide
• Multiple Sidebars
• No configuration
• Adds README.md to the first available group like VuePress web site. (May be disabled by options)
• Possible to pass parameters in directory names. (See advanced example below.)

3. Examples

With Navbar

|- docs/
  |- .vuepress
  |- nav.01.guide/
    |- README.md
  |- nav.02.api/
    |- classes/
      |- member.md

{
  nav: [
    { text: 'Guide', link: '/nav.01.guide/' },
    { text: 'Api', link: '/nav.02.api/' }
  ],
  sidebar: {
    '/nav.01.guide/': [ '' ],
    '/nav.02.api/': [ { title: 'Classes', children: [ '', 'classes/member' ] } ]
  }
}

• Readme is moved into first group: '/nav.02.api/': [ { title: 'Classes', children: [ '', 'classes/member' ] } ] instead of '/nav.02.api/': [ '', { title: 'Classes', children: [ 'classes/member' ] } ]

Without Navbar

|- docs/
  |- .vuepress
  |- 01.guide/
    |- README.md
  |- 02.api/
    |- classes/
      |- member.md

{
  nav: [],
  sidebar: [
    { title: "Guide", children: ["01.guide/"] },
    {
      title: "Api",
      children: [{ title: "Classes", children: ["02.api/classes/member"] }]
    }
  ]
};

4. Advanced

Conventions

It is possible to pass sidebar parameters in directory names. You may pass following parameters after double dash -- separated by comma:

• nc sets collapsable to false.
• dX sets sidebarDepth to X.

|- docs/
  |- 01.guide--nc,d2/
    |- README.md

{
  nav: [],
  sidebar: [
    {
      title: "Guide",
      collapsable: false,
      sidebarDepth: 1,
      children: ["01.guide--nc,d2/"]
    },
  ]
};

Notes

• VuePress requires README.md as default file in a navbar link. Forgetting README.md would skip that creation of that navbar item.

Advanced Options

// .vuepress/config.js
// or
// .vuepress/theme/index.js
const autobar_options = {
  rootDir: 'xxx',
  stripNumbers = true,
  maxLevel = 2,
  navPrefix = "nav",
  skipEmptySidebar = true,
  skipEmptyNavbar = true,
  multipleSideBar = true,
  setHomepage = 'hide' | 'toGroup' | 'top'
};

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    [ 'autobar', autobar_options ]
  ]
}
