Theme Config: Algolia Search

The themeConfig.algolia option allows you to use Algolia DocSearch. To enable it, you need to provide at least apiKey and indexName:

module.exports = {
  themeConfig: {
    algolia: {
      apiKey: 'your_api_key',
      indexName: 'index_name'
    }
  }
}

For more options, check out Algolia DocSearch's documentation. You can pass any extra option alongside other options, e.g. passing searchParameters:

module.exports = {
  themeConfig: {
    algolia: {
      apiKey: 'your_api_key',
      indexName: 'index_name',
      searchParameters: {
        facetFilters: ['tags:guide,api']
      }
    }
  }
}

Internationalization (i18n)

If you have multiple locales in your documentation and you have defined a locales object in your themeConfig:

module.exports = {
  themeConfig: {
    locales: {
      // ...
    },
    algolia: {
      apiKey: 'your_api_key',
      indexName: 'index_name'
    }
  }
}

VitePress will automatically add a language facetFilter to the searchParams.facetFilter array with the correct language value. Make sure to properly configure your DocSearch config as well by adding language as a custom attribute for faceting and by setting it based on the lang attribute of the <html> element. Here is a short example of DocSearch config:

{
  "index_name": "<the name of your library>",
  "start_urls": [
    {
      "url": "<your deployed url>"
    }
  ],
  "stop_urls": ["(?:(?<!\\.html)(?<!/))$"],
  "selectors": {
    "lvl0": {
      "selector": ".sidebar > .sidebar-links > .sidebar-link .sidebar-link-item.active",
      "global": true,
      "default_value": "Documentation"
    },
    "lvl1": ".content h1",
    "lvl2": ".content h2",
    "lvl3": ".content h3",
    "lvl4": ".content h4",
    "lvl5": ".content h5",
    "lvl6": ".content p, .content li",
    "text": ".content [class^=language-]",
    "language": {
      "selector": "/html/@lang",
      "type": "xpath",
      "global": true,
      "default_value": "en-US"
    }
  },
  "custom_settings": {
    "attributesForFaceting": ["language"]
  }
}

You can take a look at the DocSearch config used by Vue Router for a complete example.
