Default Theme Config ​

Theme config lets you customize your theme. You can define theme config via the themeConfig option in the config file:

ts
export default {
  lang: 'en-US',
  title: 'VitePress',
  description: 'Vite & Vue powered static site generator.',

  // Theme related configurations.
  themeConfig: {
    logo: '/logo.svg',
    nav: [...],
    sidebar: { ... }
  }
}

The options documented on this page only apply to the default theme. Different themes expect different theme config. When using a custom theme, the theme config object will be passed to the theme so the theme can define conditional behavior based on it.

i18nRouting ​

Changing locale to say zh will change the URL from /foo (or /en/foo/) to /zh/foo. You can disable this behavior by setting themeConfig.i18nRouting to false.

Logo file to display in nav bar, right before the site title. Accepts a path string, or an object to set a different logo for light/dark mode.

ts
export default {
  themeConfig: {
    logo: '/logo.svg'
  }
}
ts
type ThemeableImage =
  | string
  | { src: string; alt?: string }
  | { light: string; dark: string; alt?: string }

siteTitle ​

You can customize this item to replace the default site title (title in app config) in nav. When set to false, title in nav will be disabled. Useful when you have logo that already contains the site title text.

ts
export default {
  themeConfig: {
    siteTitle: 'Hello World'
  }
}

          { text: 'Item B', link: '/item-2' },
          { text: 'Item C', link: '/item-3' }

aside ​

Setting this value to false prevents rendering of aside container.
Setting this value to true renders the aside to the right.
Setting this value to left renders the aside to the left.

If you want to disable it for all viewports, you should use outline: false instead.

outline ​

Setting this value to false prevents rendering of outline container. Refer this interface for more details:

ts
interface Outline {
  /**
   * The levels of headings to be displayed in the outline.
   * Single number means only headings of that level will be displayed.
   * If a tuple is passed, the first number is the minimum level and the second number is the maximum level.
   * \`'deep'\` is same as \`[2, 6]\`, which means all headings from \`<h2>\` to \`<h6>\` will be displayed.
   *
   * @default 2
   */
  level?: number | [number, number] | 'deep'

  /**
   * The title to be displayed on the outline.

   */
  label?: string
}

  icon: string | { svg: string }
