# Runtime API
VitePress offers several built-in APIs to let you access app data. VitePress also comes with a few built-in components that can be used globally.
The helper methods are globally importable from `vitepress` and are typically used in custom theme Vue components. However, they are also usable inside `.md` pages because markdown files are compiled into Vue [Single-File Components](https://vuejs.org/guide/scaling-up/sfc.html).
Methods that start with `use*` indicates that it is a [Vue 3 Composition API](https://vuejs.org/guide/introduction.html#composition-api) function ("Composable") that can only be used inside `setup()` or `<script setup>`.
## `useData` <Badge type="info" text="composable" />
Returns page-specific data. The returned object has the following type:
```ts
interface VitePressData<T = any> {
/**
* Site-level metadata
*/
site: Ref<SiteData<T>>
/**
* themeConfig from .vitepress/config.js
*/
theme: Ref<T>
/**
* Page-level metadata
*/
page: Ref<PageData>
/**
* Page frontmatter
*/
frontmatter: Ref<PageData['frontmatter']>
/**
* Dynamic route params
*/
params: Ref<PageData['params']>
title: Ref<string>
description: Ref<string>
lang: Ref<string>
isDark: Ref<boolean>
dir: Ref<string>
localeIndex: Ref<string>
}
interface PageData {
title: string
titleTemplate?: string | boolean
description: string
relativePath: string
headers: Header[]
frontmatter: Record<string, any>
params?: Record<string, any>
isNotFound?: boolean
lastUpdated?: number
}
```
**Example:**
```vue
<script setup>
import { useData } from 'vitepress'
const { theme } = useData()
</script>
<template>
<h1>{{ theme.footer.copyright }}</h1>
</template>
```
## `useRoute` <Badge type="info" text="composable" />
Returns the current route object with the following type:
```ts
interface Route {
path: string
data: PageData
component: Component | null
}
```
## `useRouter` <Badge type="info" text="composable" />
Returns the VitePress router instance so you can programmatically navigate to another page.
```ts
interface Router {
route: Route
go: (href?: string) => Promise<void>
}
```
## `withBase` <Badge type="info" text="helper" />
- **Type**: `(path: string) => string`
Appends the configured [`base`](/reference/site-config#base) to a given URL path. Also see [Base URL](/guide/asset-handling#base-url).
## `<Content />` <Badge type="info" text="component" />
The `<Content />` component displays the rendered markdown contents. Useful [when creating your own theme](/guide/custom-theme).
```vue
<template>
<h1>Custom Layout!</h1>
<Content />
</template>
```
## `<ClientOnly />` <Badge type="info" text="component" />
The `<ClientOnly />` component renders its slot only at client side.
Because VitePress applications are server-rendered in Node.js when generating static builds, any Vue usage must conform to the universal code requirements. In short, make sure to only access Browser / DOM APIs in beforeMount or mounted hooks.
If you are using or demoing components that are not SSR-friendly (for example, contain custom directives), you can wrap them inside the `ClientOnly` component.
```vue-html
<ClientOnly>
<NonSSRFriendlyComponent />
</ClientOnly>
```
## `$frontmatter` <Badge type="info" text="template global" />
Directly access current page's [frontmatter](/guide/frontmatter) data in Vue expressions.
```md
---
title: Hello
---
# {{ $frontmatter.title }}
```
## `$params` <Badge type="info" text="template global" />
Directly access current page's [dynamic route params](/guide/routing#dynamic-routes) in Vue expressions.
```md
- package name: {{ $params.pkg }}
- version: {{ $params.version }}
```
