App Configs

App configs are where you can define the global settings of the site. App configs define fundamental settings that are not only limited to the theme configs such as configuration for "base directory", or the "title" of the site.

export default {
  // These are app level configs.
  lang: 'en-US',
  title: 'VitePress',
  description: 'Vite & Vue powered static site generator.',
  ...
}

base

Type: string
Default: /

The base URL the site will be deployed at. You will need to set this if you plan to deploy your site under a sub path, for example, GitHub pages. If you plan to deploy your site to https://foo.github.io/bar/, then you should set base to '/bar/'. It should always start and end with a slash.

The base is automatically prepended to all the URLs that start with / in other options, so you only need to specify it once.

export default {
  base: '/base/'
}

lang

Type: string
Default: en-US

The lang attribute for the site. This will render as a <html lang="en-US"> tag in the page HTML.

export default {
  lang: 'en-US'
}

title

Type: string
Default: VitePress

Title for the site. This will be the suffix for all page titles, and displayed in the nav bar.

export default {
  title: 'VitePress'
}

description

Type: string
Default: A VitePress site

Description for the site. This will render as a <meta> tag in the page HTML.

export default {
  description: 'A VitePress site'
}

appearance

Type: boolean
Default: true

Whether to enable "Dark Mode" or not. If the option is set to true, it adds .dark class to the <html> tag depending on the users preference.

It also injects inline script that tries to read users settings from local storage by vitepress-theme-appearance key and restores users preferred color mode.

export default {
  appearance: true
}
