# API Reference
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 that can only be used inside `setup()` or `<script setup>`.
## `useData`
Returns page-specific data. The returned object has the following type:
```ts
interface VitePressData<T = any> {
site: Ref<SiteData<T>>
page: Ref<PageData>
theme: Ref<T> // themeConfig from .vitepress/config.js
frontmatter: Ref<PageData['frontmatter']>
title: Ref<string>
description: Ref<string>
lang: Ref<string>
isDark: Ref<boolean>
dir: Ref<string>
localeIndex: Ref<string>
}
```
**Example:**
```vue
<script setup>
import { useData } from 'vitepress'
const { theme } = useData()
</script>
<template>
<h1>{{ theme.footer.copyright }}</h1>
</template>
```
## `useRoute`
Returns the current route object with the following type:
```ts
interface Route {
path: string
data: PageData
component: Component | null
}
```
## `useRouter`
Returns the VitePress router instance so you can programmatically navigate to another page.
```ts
interface Router {
route: Route
go: (href?: string) => Promise<void>
}
```
## `withBase`
- **Type**: `(path: string) => string`
Appends the configured [`base`](../config/app-config#base) to a given URL path. Also see [Base URL](./asset-handling#base-url).
## `<Content />`
The `<Content />` component displays the rendered markdown contents. Useful [when creating your own theme](./theme-introduction).
```vue
<template>
<h1>Custom Layout!</h1>
<Content />
</template>
```
## `<ClientOnly />`
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>
```
