Configuration

Most of the configuration happens in the .vuepress/config.js file. All parameters all optional, except theme.

module.exports = {
  // Enable the theme
  theme: "cosmos",
  themeConfig: {
    // Logo in the top left corner, file in .vuepress/public/
    logo: "/logo.svg",
    // Auto-sidebar, true by default
    autoSidebar: true,
    // Configure the manual sidebar
    sidebar: [
      // Array of sections
      {
        title: "Section title",
        children: [
          {
            title: "External link",
            path: "https://example.org/"
          },
          {
            title: "Internal link",
            path: "/url/path/"
          },
          {
            title: "Directory",
            path: "/path/to/directory/",
            directory: true
          },
          {
            title: "Link to ./vuepress/public/foo/index.html",
            path: "/foo/",
            static: true
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Markdown files can contain YAML frontmatter. Several properties (all of which are optional) are used by the theme:

---
# title is displayed in the sidebar
title: Title of the file
# order specifies file's priority in the sidebar
order: 2
# parent is readme.md or index.md parent directory
parent:
  title: Directory title
  order: 1
