Extending infrastructure

Docusaurus has some infrastructure like hot reloading, CLI, and swizzling, that can be extended by external plugins.

getPathsToWatch()

Especifica os caminhos a serem observados por plug-ins e temas. Os caminhos são monitorados pelo servidor de desenvolvimento para que os ciclos de vida do plugin sejam recarregados quando o conteúdo dos caminhos monitorados muda. Note that the plugins and themes modules are initially called with context and options from Node, which you may use to find the necessary directory information about the site.

Use this for files that are consumed server-side, because theme files are automatically watched by Webpack dev server.

Exemplo:

docusaurus-plugin/src/index.js

import path from 'path';

export default function (context, options) {
  return {
    name: 'docusaurus-plugin',
    getPathsToWatch() {
      const contentPath = path.resolve(context.siteDir, options.path);
      return [`${contentPath}/**/*.{ts,tsx}`];
    },
  };
}

extendCli(cli)

Registre um comando extra para melhorar a CLI do Docusaurus. cli is a commander object.

warning

The commander version matters! We use commander v5, and make sure you are referring to the right version documentation for available APIs.

Exemplo:

docusaurus-plugin/src/index.js

export default function (context, options) {
  return {
    name: 'docusaurus-plugin',
    extendCli(cli) {
      cli
        .command('roll')
        .description('Roll a random number between 1 and 1000')
        .action(() => {
          console.log(Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000 + 1));
        });
    },
  };
}

getThemePath()

Retorna o caminho para o diretório onde os componentes do tema podem ser encontrados. When your users call swizzle, getThemePath is called and its returned path is used to find your theme components. Relative paths are resolved against the folder containing the entry point.

For example, your getThemePath can be:

my-theme/src/index.js

export default function (context, options) {
  return {
    name: 'my-theme',
    getThemePath() {
      return './theme';
    },
  };
}

getTypeScriptThemePath()

Similar to getThemePath(), it should return the path to the directory where the source code of TypeScript theme components can be found. This path is purely for swizzling TypeScript theme components, and theme components under this path will not be resolved by Webpack. Therefore, it is not a replacement for getThemePath(). Typically, you can make the path returned by getTypeScriptThemePath() be your source directory, and make the path returned by getThemePath() be the compiled JavaScript output.

tip

For TypeScript theme authors: you are strongly advised to make your compiled output as human-readable as possible. Only strip type annotations and don't transpile any syntaxes, because they will be handled by Webpack's Babel loader based on the targeted browser versions.

You should also format these files with Prettier. Remember—JS files can and will be directly consumed by your users.

Exemplo:

my-theme/src/index.js

export default function (context, options) {
  return {
    name: 'my-theme',
    getThemePath() {
      // Where compiled JavaScript output lives
      return '../lib/theme';
    },
    getTypeScriptThemePath() {
      // Where TypeScript source code lives
      return '../src/theme';
    },
  };
}

getSwizzleComponentList()

This is a static method, not attached to any plugin instance.

Returns a list of stable components that are considered safe for swizzling. These components will be swizzlable without --danger. All components are considered unstable by default. If an empty array is returned, all components are considered unstable. If undefined is returned, all components are considered stable.

my-theme/src/index.js

export function getSwizzleComponentList() {
  return [
    'CodeBlock',
    'DocSidebar',
    'Footer',
    'NotFound',
    'SearchBar',
    'hooks/useTheme',
    'prism-include-languages',
  ];
}
