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 searchParameters.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"]
}
}
