docusaurus.config.js

Overview

docusaurus.config.js contains configurations for your site and is placed in the root directory of your site.

Required fields

title

  • Type: string

Title for your website.

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
title: 'Docusaurus',
};

favicon

  • Type: string

URL for site favicon. Example:

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
favicon: 'https://v2.docusaurus.io/favicon.ico',
};

You can also use the favicon URL relative to the static directory of your site. For example, your site has the following directory structure:

.
├── README.md
├ # ... other files in root directory
└─ static
└── img
└── favicon.ico

So you can refer it like below:

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
favicon: 'img/favicon.ico',
};

url

  • Type: string

URL for your website. This can also be considered the top-level hostname. For example, https://facebook.github.io is the URL of https://facebook.github.io/metro/, and https://docusaurus.io is the URL for https://docusaurus.io. This field is related to the baseUrl field.

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
url: 'https://docusaurus.io',
};

baseUrl

  • Type: string

Base URL for your site. This can also be considered the path after the host. For example, /metro/ is the baseUrl of https://facebook.github.io/metro/. For URLs that have no path, the baseUrl should be set to /. This field is related to the url field.

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
baseUrl: '/',
};

Optional fields

tagline

  • Type: string

The tagline for your website.

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
tagline:
'Docusaurus makes it easy to maintain Open Source documentation websites.',
};

organizationName

  • Type: string

The GitHub user or organization that owns the repository. Used by the deployment command.

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
// Docusaurus' organization is facebook
organizationName: 'facebook',
};

projectName

  • Type: string

The name of the GitHub repository. Used by the deployment command.

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
projectName: 'docusaurus',
};

githubHost

  • Type: string

The hostname of your server. Useful if you are using GitHub Enterprise.

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
githubHost: 'github.com',
};

themeConfig

  • Type: Object

An object containing data needed by the theme you use.

For Docusaurus' default theme classic, we use themeConfig to customize your navbar and footer links:

Example:

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
themeConfig: {
navbar: {
title: 'Site Title',
logo: {
alt: 'Site Logo',
src: 'img/logo.svg',
},
links: [
{
to: 'docs/docusaurus.config.js',
activeBasePath: 'docs',
label: 'docusaurus.config.js',
position: 'left',
},
// ... other links
],
},
footer: {
style: 'dark',
links: [
{
title: 'Docs',
items: [
{
label: 'Docs',
to: 'docs/doc1',
},
],
},
// ... other links
],
logo: {
alt: 'Facebook Open Source Logo',
src: 'https://docusaurus.io/img/oss_logo.png',
},
copyright: `Copyright © ${new Date().getFullYear()} Facebook, Inc.`, // You can also put own HTML here
},
},
};

plugins

  • Type: any[]
docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: [],
};

themes

  • Type: any[]
docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
themes: [],
};

presets

  • Type: any[]
docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
presets: [],
};

customFields

Docusaurus guards docusaurus.config.js from unknown fields. To add a custom field, define it on customFields.

  • Type: Object
docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
customFields: {
admin: 'endi',
superman: 'lol',
},
};

Attempting to add unknown field in the config will lead to error in build time:

Error: The field(s) 'foo', 'bar' are not recognized in docusaurus.config.js

scripts

An array of scripts to load. The values can be either strings or plain objects of attribute-value maps. The <script> tags will be inserted in the HTML <head>.

Note that <script> added here are render-blocking so you might want to add async: true/defer: true to the objects.

  • Type: (string | Object)[]

Example:

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
scripts: [
// String format.
'https://docusaurus.io/script.js',
// Object format.
{
src:
'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/clipboard.js/2.0.0/clipboard.min.js',
async: true,
},
],
};

stylesheets

An array of CSS sources to load. The values can be either strings or plain objects of attribute-value maps. The <link> tags will be inserted in the HTML <head>.

  • Type: (string | Object)[]

Example:

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
stylesheets: [
// String format.
'https://docusaurus.io/style.css',
// Object format.
{
href: 'http://mydomain.com/style.css',
type: 'text/css',
},
],
};
